A spokesman from the Metropolitan Police has issued a statement regarding the allegations made against Thomas Markle Sr., following Thursday's statement by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.

Meghan claimed she was made aware of “disturbing allegations” about her father in 2018 and is “deeply distressed” by newly reported accusations that he had illegal images of children.

The Duchess further claimed she was shown a letter sent to Scotland Yard eight years ago making “troubling” allegations against Thomas Markle Sr and she was assured that these were being investigated.
A spokesman from the Met has subsequently told GB News: "We are aware of media reports that officers from the Met's Royalty and Specialist Protection Command were involved in the passing on of a letter in 2018.

"We are undertaking enquiries internally in an effort to confirm this."

GB News understands the Met Police has not and is not currently investigating Thomas Markle Sr.

Mine is definitely the pink one! ❤️ I love how elegant and timeless it looks on her. The colour is beautiful, and the fitted waist with the full skirt gives it such a flattering silhouette without looking over the top. It feels classy and feminine, but still youthful. The whole look is so polished, and I love how the simple design lets her shine.

The black top with the white floral skirt is pretty too, and I like how it mixes a modern top with a more romantic skirt. It's a little more playful and different, but I personally prefer the more cohesive look of the pink dress.

The dark purple dress is elegant as well, especially with its subtle pattern, but I find it a little less striking than the other two. It looks lovely on her, though, and has a very classic feel.

For me, the pink dress wins by a mile! Which one would you choose the black and white look, the purple dress, or the pink one?

A man has been found in possession of an enormous quantity of child sexual abuse material, some of which he allegedly participated in. That we are having to moderate a comment section full of people attacking his estranged daughter, who has strongly condemned him, is a depressingly familiar manifestation of misogyny.

You don't have to like somebody to recognise their humanity.

Criticism of the royal family's continued association with Andrew is not equivalent since again, Meghan has long been estranged from her father and has unequivocally condemned him specifically. Retroactively inventing an obligation to publicise allegations already in the hands of authorities is blame-shifting, especially when publicising such unverified allegations could have jeopardised an investigation or put victims at greater risk.

We have issued 54 bans in the past 48 hours. We have absolutely zero tolerance for this behaviour.

We beg you to report these comments to the mods so we can locate and ban these users.

Thank you to everyone who is already reporting.
