Buckingham Palace and the Labour Party have been rocked by a coordinated antisemitic hate mail campaign targeting both King Charles and Sir Keir Starmer, prompting a major police investigation.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed they are treating the identical letters sent to both high-profile figures as a targeted hate crime, with sources describing the content as "deeply offensive and antisemitic in nature."
Coordinated Attack on National Figures
The alarming development reveals that both the monarch and the opposition leader received matching abusive correspondence, suggesting a deliberate attempt to intimidate prominent public figures. A police spokesperson stated: "We can confirm we are investigating reports of offensive letters sent to two addresses."
Security services have been alerted to the concerning pattern, with counter-terror officers assessing whether the campaign represents a wider threat to other public figures. The timing and identical nature of the letters point towards a coordinated operation rather than isolated incidents.
Political and Royal Security Breach
This unprecedented targeting of both the head of state and the potential future prime minister has raised serious security questions. Palace officials and Labour Party security teams are working closely with specialist police units to trace the source of the malicious correspondence.
One security source revealed: "When you have two figures of this stature receiving identical hate mail, it immediately raises the threat level and suggests a more organised campaign."
Community Impact and Police Response
The incident has sent shockwaves through Jewish communities and political circles alike. Community leaders have expressed grave concern about the escalation in antisemitic rhetoric targeting the highest levels of British public life.
Greater Manchester Police have deployed specialist hate crime investigators and are pursuing multiple lines of enquiry. Detectives are examining forensic evidence from the letters and reviewing CCTV from mail distribution centres in their hunt for the perpetrator.
A police statement emphasised: "Hate crime in any form is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated. We are taking this matter extremely seriously and will do everything we can to identify those responsible."
