Katie Price has said her son Harvey has allegedly been the subject of 'inappropriate and derogatory' images shared by Metropolitan Police officers in a WhatsApp group chat.
The 44-year-old model and TV personality took to Instagram this evening to share an image of a letter detailing the alleged misconduct. In a caption, she called the content 'disgusting' and said the officers needed to be 'shamed and exposed'.
The image shows a 'hand-delivered' letter from an investigator from the Discrimination Investigation Unit within the Professional Standards Department of the Met Police informing Ms Price that 'a number' of officers "are alleged to have breached the Standards of Professional Behaviour in regards to Discreditable Conduct for being part of a WhatsApp group chat that has posted inappropriate and derogatory images of your son, Harvey Price”.

Price’s son, Harvey, 20, suffers from Prader–Willi syndrome and autism.
The letter also stated the officers involved will be subject to a gross misconduct hearing at a centre in West Brompton, London. The Met confirmed the hearing is due to commence on February 21 and is listed for four days.
Alongside the image of the letter, Price wrote: “I feel I need to share this hand delivered letter from the Metropolitan Police.
“It’s disgusting that police officers from here have felt the need to laugh and use disgusting content on Harvey by creating a what’s app group (sic).
“I would attend this court day but I’m away. They need to be named shamed and exposed.”
Eight officers are concerned in the upcoming hearing. According to the Met, they will be required to answer allegations that
