A letter making a "number of claims" relating to the Duchess of Sussex's father was received by the Metropolitan Police in 2019, Scotland Yard has confirmed.

The Met said it passed the information to the office of the Duke and Duchess but did not share it with other law enforcement agencies.

It was reported on Friday that images of child sexual abuse allegedly belonging to Thomas Markle, 82, had been found in his former home in the Philippines. Markle, who is based in the US, denies possessing any such images.
