Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

  1. 1:00O'Sullivan reads Meghan's statement referencing a 2018 letter connected to police protection units.
  2. 3:00He cites Press Association reporting that the Met has not investigated and is not investigating Thomas Markle Sr.
  3. 4:04Levin questions the statement's timeline and the Metropolitan Police's jurisdiction.
  4. 11:21An archival May 2025 interview features Thomas Markle Jr.'s account of family relations.

Kevin O'Sullivan pauses the discussion to read a carefully worded report: "It is understood that the Metropolitan Police has not and is not currently investigating Thomas Markle Senior..."

That clarification is central to TalkTV's segment with royal biographer Angela Levin, which examines Meghan Markle's response to a Sun front page concerning her father. Her statement references a 2018 letter connected to police protection units.

According to the Press Association reporting cited in the segment, the Met is also checking internally whether the letter was passed on. Those are separate questions: whether police investigated Thomas Markle and what happened to the correspondence. The reported absence of an investigation does not, by itself, establish whether a letter was sent.

Levin questions the statement's chronology and the police's jurisdiction. The program later plays an archival interview with Thomas Markle Jr. from May 2025 about family relations. These contributions are commentary and personal accounts, rather than further police findings. The allegations against Thomas Markle Sr. are unproven, and he has not been charged with an offense.

The upload reached roughly 340,000 views in ten hours, already far beyond TalkTV's usual full-day audience for comparable videos. Its central police clarification comes about three minutes into the discussion.
