Threats Against Meghan Markle Described as ‘Disgusting’ and ‘Very Real’ by Police Chief
The police chief, Neil Bossu, has described the threats made against the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, as “disgusting” and “very real.”
Bossu, who is leaving the Metropolitan Police after 30 years with the force, revealed that the Duchess's life was in danger on a number of occasions.
He stated that anyone receiving such messages would feel under threat all the time.
Bossu also disclosed that a team had been assembled to investigate the threats made against the Duchess while he was a member of the Met.
He confirmed that people have been prosecuted for making such threats, and that there was a genuine threat to Meghan's life on more than one occasion.
When asked about his personal experience of racism, Bossu stated that he was proud to be “woke.”
Trending:
He said that he spoke about race because he knew something about it, being a 54-year-old mixed-race man.
He added that every serving police officer, let alone a chief constable, should believe in racial and social justice.
Bossu criticized the Home Office's approach to illegal immigration, describing the commentary coming out of the department as “inexplicable.”
He stated that it was unbelievable to hear politicians talking in language that his father would have remembered from 1968.
In response to Bossu's claims, a spokesperson from the Home Office told Channel 4 News that the Home Secretary expects forces to take a zero-tolerance approach to racism within their workplace.
The spokesperson added that the department was actively pushing for a cultural change in the police, including via a targeted review of police dismissals.
Meanwhile, Prince William refused to pick sides for the World Cup as teams kicked off.
His diplomatic message came as Kate was tipped to take up the role of the figurehead of the Football Association of Wales, replacing the late Queen.
The Prince tweeted his support for both England and Wales football teams as they kicked off their World Cup match.
He stated, “Here we go!
May the best team win,” accompanied by the flags for both countries.
A Royal expert told Express.co.uk that William was between a rock and a hard place regarding his support, given his position as both the long-standing head of England's football association and with the newly acquired title of Prince of Wales.
Angry Welsh fans condemned William for favoring their rivals after he gave England their shirt numbers ahead of the World Cup kicking off.
William responded at the time that he intends to cheer on both teams but won't drop his allegiance as he wants to remain authentic, despite his royal title.
The Prince has spent many years as head of the Football Association in England, but following the Queen's death and Charles' accession to the throne, William took on the additional role of Prince of Wales.
King Charles, who was the longest-serving Prince of Wales, added that he had been so greatly privileged to bear the title for more than 60 years.
In conclusion, threats against the Duchess of Sussex have been described as disgusting and very real by the police chief, Neil Bossu.
The Home Office has been criticized for its approach to illegal immigration, and Prince William has refused to pick sides for the World Cup.
As always, may the best team win.
