On Channel 4 television, when asked if these threats against the daughter-in-law of Charles III were real, the agent replied: “Absolutely, and if you had seen the things that were written and received them… It’s that kind of online rhetoric… If you don’t know what I know, you would feel under threat all the time.” . The chief added: “We had teams look into it.”

Basu, who has served as a senior ethnic minority officer, has spoken out about racism, saying it remains a problem and that he is vigilant about issues of “racial and social justice.”
