I googled about how law enforcement in different countries communicate and Interpol used I-24/7, which allows frontline officers and national central bureaus to share criminal data, alerts, and wanted-person notices.

The idea that the FBI wrote a letter and bunged it in the post is risible.

Hee in the US we use international rock dove post. None of those UK owls for us. 😁

So why was she told of the allegations in the first place?

I suspect for two reasons 1) she was/is a member of the RF and if it had got out it would've been a HUGE scandal and she had a right to be forewarned and 2) so she could protect any future (royal) GC from scandal.

And why was Markle allowed to travel around the world if he was the subject of an investigation for very serious crimes?

This is harder to answer. Were the allegations that were shared with her in 2018 shared with the Mexican authorities, where he was living? Did he fly to the Philippines directly from Mexico or did he pass through the US? Did he move to Mexico in order to escape the US authorities? More questions than answers!

The Met is now saying it's looking for the letter but it has never investigated TM for any crime.

One thing I would say about John Major is that the absurd pantomime that our series of PMs descended into since then does make him seem like an ok calibre in hindsight 😅

Yes and the same goes for Theresa May and I'm not a Tory and the fact that John ,Major has turned into a decent , civilised elder statesman who keeps wise counsel rather than a money grubbing crazed loon that Blair became makes him doubly appropriate. Sorry William its King John the Second - a Major change to our constitution.

I don't understand how her father's alleged crimes are supposed to affect my opinion of her claiming that the Royal family were racist?

This is the whitewashing that’s going to go on.

Yeh, don’t understand why it’s taking so long to enquire about a letter.

Surely that would be a pretty important file to have no?

So she said all she could say about the RF instead, because she knew they wouldn’t be able to reply to her or use legal action to address the lies that were told.

She’s a bully. Picks on people who can’t answer back.

Absolutely. She knew they wouldn't retaliate.

Even now we have the high brow royal family grey rocking H&M & blocking out all the noise... meanwhile the low brow H&M are relentlessly begging for reconciliation, making bizarre statements & crying out for attention. The royal family must have the patience of saints.

H&M belong on Judge Judy or Jeremy Kyle with the rest of the Markles.

That does sound plausible.

I don't know much about his movements over the years, but if information on his alleged crimes was shared with the British authorities, surely it would have been with other countries too? 8 years is a very long time for an investigation of this nature to be unresolved.

It is understood the Metropolitan Police has not and is not currently investigating Thomas Sr and officers are carrying out an internal inquiry to confirm the royal protection unit passed on a 2018 letter to the Duchess of Sussex which made “troubling and disturbing allegations” against her father.

He's a Tory who lied and had a corrupt government. In all honesty I'd rather have Barry Chuckle.

BasiliskStare · 23/10/2026 15:39

@BigWillyLittleTodger "is quite capable of picking up a phone to see how the investigation is progressing "

I agree with this. Especially as one is, like , a Prince , right?. OK they may not have got anywhere but just to assume something is happening in the background from a couple who position themselves as speaking up for the safety of children on-line - poorer than poor show. They should have been all over this like Jack Reacher with a bee in his bonnet.

At least, that's his excuse and he's sticking to it.

So where did Meghan get the legal advice that she can’t talk about it because it could jeopardise a further legal investigation…….when the Met say they didn’t investigate it?????

She can’t talk because of A ……but A didn’t happen.

I'm fairly intrigued as to why a President would be known as a King, but then again there is a lot that's inexplicable 🙄

I wouldn't expect them to investigate someone who's never so much as visited the UK, but it's good that there might be some clarity on whether this "letter" even existed

'Must have been misfiled, we can't find it. Does anyone recall it?'

No way in 2018 did a law enforcement agency send a letter for something about a criminal investigation.

I also feel like this is an attempt to garner sympathy. I don’t believe any of this unless the police release evidence and arrest someone

diddl · 23/10/2026 15:48

So if the Met never investigated, does that mean that M is mistaken in remembering that she was told they would?

AtIusvue · 23/10/2026 15:49

Meg is going to have to produce this letter as it’s seems strange that the Met wouldn’t be able to find such information quickly.

She’s also going to have to produce the legal advice she was given that she was precluded from talking about it.
