The drama continues for poor Meghan Markle!
Her controversial half-sister Samantha Markle has caused so much trouble with her interviews, and her tweets, that U.K. police and security for the royal family have reportedly now put her on what’s called a “fixated persons list.”

That, according to The Times U.K., is a real issue — because as it’s defined in the United Kingdom, the fixated persons list (below) sounds pretty damn serious:
“[The list’s] purpose is to assess and manage the risks from lone individuals who harass, stalk or threaten public figures.”
Um… wow! So, Samantha is officially under surveillance by the British government!!
A Scotland Yard source spoke to the media outlet about what being on the fixated persons list means for Samantha — as well as for Meghan and the rest of the royal family:
“You can’t protect someone like the Duchess of Sussex without knowing the background of her family. But 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. There is big potential for some major embarrassment for the royals. Samantha could make a scene and create headlines with her actions — and let’s face it she’s kind of already done that.”
Indeed, she has already done that.
Still, it’s a hell of a thing to be on one of these lists! Obviously Meg’s half-sis has already responded to the report, telling Sun Online:
“This is ridiculous as I’m in an electric wheelchair and I live on a different continent. LOL (laugh out loud) and advocating for doing the right thing by our dad is hardly fixation. The world would be a very medieval place if we get to where we suppress freedom of speech because it is embarrassing to someone. Where it is the truth and it advocates doing the right thing, it should always be protected.”
And she continued, further adding:
“Like the days of Nazi Germany, remember – first they come for me, then they come for you. Those who think I should be silent should also be willing to give up their freedom of speech. I’ve only advocated for doing the right thing and that does not make me a bad person. If I express my opinions because my father was consistently ignored and I love my father – I have a right to defend him. This world is crazy that people can speak out against Trump and anything they see as an injustice but people think I should be quiet if it concerns the Duchess? Has the world gone daft? Really it’s like Nazi Germany all over again. I have freedom of speech and the people who think I should be quiet would want everybody should be quiet. Meghan was already losing public favour – the PR spin cannot blame it on me.”
Wow. Comparing it to Nazi Germany??
She’s really not helping her case here.
