Meghan Markle's sister rubbishes reports she is on police 'fixated persons list'

Meghan Markle’s estranged sister has branded claims she is on a police “fixated persons list” a “big lie.”

Samantha Markle posted a series of denials on Twitter after reports she had been placed on a police list of people who pose a risk to the Royal Family’s reputation.

It comes after she visited the UK to try to visit the Duchess to attempt to heal the family rift and sent a Christmas card calling for a truce.

Reports claimed Scotland Yard's Fixated Threat Assessment Centre had detectives briefed to monitor the situation.

Commenting on the allegation, she said: “Scotland Yard does not mention names unless they been charged they clearly said I have not been charged.”

She added that the reports were "a big lie" and expressed anger at those who had "labelled me a security risk or crazy."

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said it does “not confirm the identity of any person who may or may not be of interest to police unless that person has been charged with an offence”.

Samantha has been a longstanding critic of her sister Meghan, regularly vocalising her anger over the treatment of their father, Thomas.

Mr Markle, 74, has spoken of the lack of contact he has had with his daughter, claiming he attempts to speak to her but receives no response when he texts.

Samantha, 54, previously visited London in an apparent attempt to see the Duchess in person, claiming to have exhausted other contact methods.

Ahead of Christmas she penned a letter to Meghan, who married Prince Harry in 2018, begging her to resolve her relationship with their father.

She wrote: "Life is short and you know Dad is wonderful. Please give him joy in his last years by showing you love him. The time is now.”
