The fact that the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle received "disgusting and very real" threats while working for the royal family[/B],[/B] has been revealed by the outgoing senior officer[/B] of the British Metropolitan Police, Neil Basu.
Speaking to Channel 4 News, Neil Basu said he would understand if Meghan Markle felt "constantly threatened", adding that there have been prosecutions for these threats.
Prince Harry, who moved to California with Meghan Markle in 2020, said last year that he did not feel safe when visiting the UK.
The couple have spoken out about the treatment they have suffered before leaving royal duties and the impact it has had on their mental health. As recently as 2016, after their relationship went public, Harry had issued a statement against social media "trolls" for targeting Meghan.
"If you had seen the things that were written and received, the kind of rhetoric that's on the internet, if you knew what I know, you would feel under threat all the time," Neil Basu said.
Asked about whether there were real threats from the far right, he said "certainly. We've had groups investigating. There have been prosecutions for those threats."
He said he had previously spoken publicly about the threat of "far-right terrorism", saying it was the "fastest growing" threat he faced.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex resigned as senior members of the royal family in 2020 and continued their lives in the U.S.
