U.K. police received claims about Meghan’s father in 2019 but didn’t alert other forces
LONDON — Police in the British capital said Saturday that they received a letter containing allegations about the estranged father of Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, in 2019, but did not tell other law enforcement agencies.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets focus on police confirmation that a 2019 letter with allegations about Thomas Markle was received, and NBC and The Guardian both make clear the claims were not passed to other forces. CBS News is the least specific, saying only that U.K. police confirmed receiving the letter and pairing that with the separate report about an investigation in the Philippines. The Guardian alone foregrounds that the letter was shared with Meghan, while NBC foregrounds the failure to alert other law enforcement agencies.
