The Independent Office for Police Conduct is launching an investigation into Scotland Yard. The probe focuses on the handling of a 2019 letter containing allegations about Thomas Markle.

The police watchdog is set to investigate the Metropolitan Police following a referral from Scotland Yard regarding a 2019 letter. The independent probe will examine how the police force handled the communication, which contained allegations of wrongdoing concerning Thomas Markle, the father of Meghan.

According to the reports, Scotland Yard faces the independent investigation due to its failure to properly pass on the claims made in the letter at the time. The Independent Office for Police Conduct launched the formal inquiry after receiving the referral from the police force.

Further details regarding the upcoming investigation and potential next steps have not yet been specified by the watchdog. The inquiry will review the actions taken by the Met Police when the warning letter was first received in 2019.
