Two Met officers were fired after making racist remarks about Meghan Markle

Met officers
  • Sukhdev Jeer and Paul Hefford have been dismissed for making racist remarks on Meghan Markle
  • Jeer had previously told the tribunal he was “not in a good place” and had used the language to cope with the issues 
  • Chairman Maurice Cohen said they were highly corrosive and discriminatory to members of the public

 

Sukhdev Jeer and Paul Hefford, both of Indian origin and reportedly assigned to Forensic Services in the Metropolitan Police, have been fired for making “abhorrent” remarks in a group chat, including a racist joke about Prince Harry’s wife Meghan Markle.

According to the tribunal, both officers sent the messages on WhatsApp in 2018, before Meghan married Prince Harry. It was determined that they had engaged in gross misconduct.
