Meghan Markle's nephew 'took knife to club after Trump said London's a war zone'

Meghan Markle’s nephew reportedly carried a knife into a club in London because Donald Trump called the capital a war zone.

Legal cannabis farmer Tyler Dooley, who wasn’t invited to the wedding on Saturday, told another partygoer he was carrying the blade ‘for protection’.

According to reports Dooley admitted to carrying the four-inch blade on him as he entered Bacchus nightclub in Kingston, south west London and handed it over to bouncers.

He is said to have told another partygoer: ‘I just brought it because Donald Trump said London was like a war zone. I had it for protection.’

The Sun reported that Dooley, 25, was celebrating Meghan’s wedding to Prince Harry with his mother, Tracy, older brother TJ, 26, and his girlfriend when they went to the club.

Dooley told bouncers he had the lock-knife on him as they were being searched and handed it over to staff.

But he is reported to have left the scene after security rang police and other clubbers told him he would be arrested, despite some members of their party already having made it inside.

It is believed TJ then returned to try and explain.

A source added: ‘They were all obviously a bit tipsy from celebrating the wedding, but not in bad spirits. As Tyler came up to the bouncer, he said, “I have a knife on me”.

‘They acted very calmly and dialled 999 and that’s when some local guys told him he’d get arrested. At that point he ran off.’

Trump was heavily criticised earlier this month after he compared a hospital in London to being like a ‘war zone’ because of stabbings in the capital.

He told a National Rifle Convention (NRA) in Dallas: ‘And instead there’s blood all over the floors of this hospital. They say it’s as bad as a military war zone hospital.’

Meghan’s extended family arrived in London last week despite none of them having been invited to the wedding.

But to celebrate their nuptials Dooley, from Oregon, invented a custom cannabis strain called Markle’s Sparkle.
