The Metropolitan Police has conducted an internal inquiry involving five officers from its Royalty and Specialist Protection unit following allegations of misogynistic behavior and comments referencing “Little Hitlers”. A female staff member at Kensington Palace lodged an official complaint regarding a series of deemed “inappropriate” remarks made between August 2023 and September 2024, with the complaint being officially filed in October 2024, including assertions that the palace was described as “full of little Hitlers”.

A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police stated that the reported conduct did not meet the expected high standards for officers, especially those in frontline protective roles. Subsequently, the officers underwent reflective practice to assess their behavior and glean lessons for the future. The spokesperson emphasized the Met’s commitment to upholding professionalism among all officers and staff to foster trust and confidence with the public.

While the officers’ behavior did not amount to misconduct, senior Royal Household personnel reportedly barred them from future work at any palaces by revoking their access passes. The Royal Household was approached for comment by the Mirror.
