The UK police watchdog is to investigate the Metropolitan Police's handing of a letter containing allegations against Thomas Markle that was handed to his daughter, the Duchess of Sussex, in 2019.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said it had decided an investigation was required into the force's "failure to pass on allegations of serious offending... to relevant overseas authorities at the time".
