Met Police Refer to Watchdog Over 2019 Handling of Markle Abuse Allegations

The Metropolitan Police has voluntarily referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) regarding its 2019 handling of a letter containing allegations against Meghan Markle's father, Thomas Markle. The force admitted it passed the letter to the Sussexes' office but failed to share it with other law enforcement agencies. This follows recent reports that Thomas Markle Jr. found child sexual abuse material at his father's former home in the Philippines, prompting investigations by local and US authorities. Meghan Markle stated she was aware of the allegations in 2018, a timeline contradicted by Met records showing a 2019 receipt date.

Ex-Head of UK Police Watchdog Charged with Rape and Sexual Offences

Michael Lockwood, the former head of the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), has been charged with six counts of indecent assault and three counts of rape against a girl under 16, alleged to have been committed during the 1980s. Lockwood left the IOPC in December after it emerged he was being investigated over a historical allegation. His lawyers said he "strenuously denies" the allegations. He is due to appear at Hull Magistrates' Court on 28 June.
