| Prince Harry and his fiancée Meghan Markle have been sent white powder claiming to be anthrax in a malicious hoax. | |
| The package was intercepted by officials at Kensington Palace and found to be harmless by police, who have launched an investigation, the Evening Standard reported. | |
| Officers from the Metropolitan Police’s counter-terrorism command were called to the alert earlier this month, when white powder was also sent to Amber Rudd’s office in the Houses of Parliament. | |
| Police are investigating if there is a link between the two incidents, which came after a series of hoaxes involving white powder across the UK. | |
| Targets have included mosques and Islamic centres, sparking an investigation into a potential far-right hate campaign last year. | |
| The latest scare came three months before Prince Harry and Ms Markle, an American actress known for her humanitarian work, are to marry. | |
| The couple live at Nottingham Cottage, in the grounds of Kensington Palace, where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children reside when they are in London. | |
| A Palace spokesperson declined to comment on the incident. |
