Police bosses reportedly 'covered up' investigations into claims that a TV wrestler dealt cocaine to Princess Margaret, insiders to the probe claim.
The wrestler's identity is not publicly known, and the case was covered up to protect the Princess's reputation, a police insider says.
It is unknown when the alleged drug deals took place, but Princess Margaret was known for her love of booze, cigarettes and partying, and has previously been accused of doing cocaine.
After receiving a tip that the wrestler was dealing cocaine to the royal, officers began planning ways to hold up the allegations.

Their ideas were passed up the chain of command at Scotland Yard, but the top bosses decided not to pursue the investigation any further.
'We didn't necessarily see ourselves with our hobnailed boots on, kicking down the back door of Kensington Palace. But she did have a bit of a reputation for being a party princess,' a police insider told the Daily Star Sunday.
'A few of us would have been quite amused by the prospect of arresting a royal as her dealer turned up to supply cocaine. We weren't all slavish royalists,' the insider said.
The insider believes that the investigation was halted because senior officers feared a big scandal would have ensued.
'We would work the intelligence up into a package of information and it would then disappear off into the corridors of power for authorisation,' the source said.
The officers would then continue their ground work to see if the information they had supported what was happening on surveillance.

'But this particular piece of information disappeared off down the corridors of power, never to return,' the source said. 'We never did a day's work on it after that. There was no explanation at all, it was definitely a case of 'know your place'.'
The source said that if an officer 'rattled too many cages' at Scotland Yard, his or her career would come to a 'very abrupt halt'.
Because the investigation was cut short, officers were never able to know if the cocaine allegations were true.
A spokesman for the wrestler told the Daily Star Sunday: 'We have no comment to make.'
The Royal Family declined to comment on the allegations to Mail Online.
This isn't the first time people have alleged that Princess Margaret was involved in cocaine scandals.
