The Duchess of Sussex’s estranged half sister has branded claims she is on a police ‘fixated persons list’ as ‘ridiculous’ and ‘fake news’.

Samantha Markle launched a tirade on Twitter following reports that Meghan’s protection officers have briefed Scotland Yard over the potential damage to the Royal family’s reputation that could be caused by the duchess’s relative.

According to the Sunday Times, a Scotland Yard source said: “Someone like Samantha presents a risk rather than a threat. She is not committing criminal offences, but she is causing concerns for the royal family.”

Over the past few months, Samantha Markle has made repeated swipes at Meghan, as well as reportedly arriving unannounced at Kensington Palace and sending her a Christmas card calling for a family truce.

Her behaviour has reportedly led to her inclusion in a list of ‘fixated’ people – something she has branded as ‘fake news’ and ‘lying nonsense’.

Scotland Yard’s Fixated Threat Assessment Centre (FTAC) is a police unit which works with the NHS to identify risks posed by ‘lone individuals’ who stalk or harass public figures.

In a series of Tweets posted in response to a story in The Australian, Ms Markle said: “More retarded ”fake news” by #Australia.

“This is ridiculous as I’m in an electric wheelchair and i live ona different continent LOL and afdvocating for doing the right this by our dad is hardly fixations.

“Stop your lying nonsense or be sued.”

She also went on to accuse the media of being ‘fixated’ rather than her.
