London,
\nA letter with white powder was sent to Prince Harry and his fiancee Meghan Markle, the Evening Standard newspaper reported on Thursday, saying it was also believed to contain a racist message.<\/p>\n
The paper said that officers from the Metropolitan Police\u2019s counter-terrorism command were called in after the letter was received on February 12 at a sorting office in St James\u2019s Palace in central London.<\/p>\n
But analysis of the powder found that it was harmless.<\/p>\n
Contacted by AFP, Prince Harry\u2019s press service at Kensington Palace declined to comment on the report.<\/p>\n
\u201cPolice are investigating after a package containing a substance was delivered to St James\u2019s Palace on Monday, 12 February,\u201d police said in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe substance was tested and confirmed as non-suspicious. Officers are also investigating an allegation of malicious communications which relates to the same package,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
The Evening Standard said police were believed to be examining whether the incident was linked to a package containing white powder that was sent to the British Parliament on February 13.<\/p>\n
The couple is due to marry in Windsor on May 19.<\/p>\n
When their relationship was first revealed in 2016, Harry issued a strongly-worded statement against media harassment of his mixed-race girlfriend.<\/p>\n
Harry\u2019s communications secretary Jason Knauf said at the time that Markle had been the subject of \u201ca wave of abuse and harassment\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
