UK Police Investigating Package Sent to Harry and Meghan

by Associated Press

   LONDON --

   London police say they are investigating a suspicious package that was
   sent to Prince Harry and his fiancee Meghan Markle.

   The Metropolitan Police force says "a package containing a substance"
   was delivered to St. James's Palace, where Harry has his office, on
   Feb. 12.
   It says the substance "was tested and confirmed as non-suspicious."
   The force said Thursday that detectives are investigating an offense of
   malicious communication in relation to the package. The Evening
   Standard newspaper says it contained a racist message.
   The prince and Markle are due to marry May 19 at Windsor Castle.
   Earlier this month a letter containing white powder was sent to an
   office at Parliament, leading to a partial evacuation of the building.
   It also was found to be non-toxic.
