White powder and 'racist' letter sent to Meghan Markle

London (AFP) - A package containing white powder and an allegedly racist message sent to Prince Harry and his fiancee Meghan Markle is being treated as a hate crime, police said on Thursday.

Officers from the Metropolitan Police's counter-terrorism command were called in after the package was received on February 12 at a sorting office in St James's Palace in central London.

"The substance was tested and confirmed as non-suspicious," police said in a statement.

Enquiries continue and there have been no arrests, it added.

Contacted by AFP, Prince Harry's press service at Kensington Palace declined to comment on the report.

"Police are investigating after a package containing a substance was delivered to St James's Palace on Monday, 12 February," the police statement added.
