MEGHAN Markle’s nephew sparked a police probe just hours after the wedding by trying to take a knife into a London nightclub — and blamed Donald Trump.

Tyler Dooley, 25, admitted having the four-inch blade on him and handed it to a bouncer as he tried to get in to the venue.

But he fled when other punters said he would be arrested after security staff called police in the early hours.

He told a reveller at Bacchus in Kingston, South West London: “I just brought it because Donald Trump said London was like a war zone. I had it for protection.”

Legal US cannabis farmer Tyler was out partying with his girlfriend, older brother TJ, 26, and mum Tracey. But the night turned sour when they got to the club.

Some members of the group, who had travelled from the States despite not having wedding invites, had already got in after being searched when Tyler told staff he had the lock-knife.

A source said: “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.’ He pulled it out and handed it to the staff.

“All he was going on about was how he’d brought it from America because Donald Trump had said London wasn’t safe.

“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.”

It is understood TJ later went back to the club to try to explain.

The Met said: “The suspect had left the scene prior to police being called. Officers attended the club at around 01:55hrs and recovered the knife. There has been no arrest.”

The Dooleys declined to comment and hid inside a bin cupboard at the Hilton DoubleTree hotel in Kingston when The Sun asked them about the incident.

President Trump this month claimed a London hospital was “like a war-zone” due to knife violence.

A man in his 20s was stabbed to death in nearby Mitcham on Saturday night. It was the 44th knife death in the capital this year.
