Counter-terrorism officers are also treating a letter which accompanied the package as a racist hate crime, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement. The package was sent to St James's Palace on Monday and police later confirmed the substance it contained - reportedly a white powder - was non-suspicious. "Officers are also investigating an allegation of malicious communications which relates to the same package, and it is being treated as a racist hate crime," the police statement said.
