Markle’s nephew reportedly takes knife to club, cites Trump
Meghan Markle’s nephew was given a warning by police after trying to take a knife into a London nightclub hours after the royalwedding, the Sun newspaper reported.
The tabloid said 25- year- old Tyler Dooley, nephew of the now Duchess of Sussex, admitted having the knife at the Bacchus nightclub in the London suburb of Kingston early Sunday.
The Sun reported, citing an anonymous source, that Dooley told club staff he brought the knife from the U. S. because President Donald Trump had warned London wasn’t safe.
Trump said this month that rising knife crime had left some London hospitals like a “war zone.”
