Police tracking 160 'royal stalkers' ahead of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding
Police are keeping tabs on as many as 160 royal “stalkers” in the leadup to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding next month.
According to The Mirror, a special unit of the Met Police is currently tracking 106 men and 54 women identified as having “unhealthy obsessions” with the British Royal Family.
At least seven people within this group are considered high risk.

Six of the targets have previously been detained under mental health laws, The Mirror reports, while one man was detained only recently.
Former Royal Protection Command chief Dai Davies says the public’s interest in Meghan, 36, and the venue of the wedding “does elevate the risk of threatening behaviour” from people with royal fixations.
