«Breaking News» Twitter accounts linked to Russian conspiracy theories obsessively tweeting about Duchess of Sussex

Twitter accounts linked to Russian conspiracy theories have been 'obsessively' tweeting about the Duchess of Sussex, it was claimed last night.

An analysis of those said to be in a 'Meghan Markle community', sending Tweets which centre on the Duchess of Sussex, found more than two and a half million messages from 1,000 'highly connected' accounts since September.

The account with the second highest number of pro-Meghan followers also tweets regularly in support of the Democratic Party in the USA.

More than two and a half million tweets about the Duchess of Sussex came from 1,000 'highly connected' accounts since September 

Many of the accounts are thought to demonstrate 'bot-like activities' according to the research, meaning the tweets may be automated by a computer program, reported The Daily Telegraph.

Consultancy firm 89up, which carried out the research, also found the fourth most shared account in the Meghan Markle community frequently posted content from Russian state broadcaster Russia Today and questioned the truth of the Salisbury novichock attack.

The firm, which has also analysed Facebook data for the Culture, Media and Sport select committee, said the small group had an 'unusually high reach'.

This comes after the Duchess said yesterday that she avoids social media and newspapers so she does not get 'muddled' by the noise.

She was speaking at a panel marking International Women's Day at Kings College London.

Speaking at King's College London yesterday, the Duchess said she avoids social media and newspapers so she does not get 'muddled' by the noise 

When asked about accusations that her feminism was 'trendy', the Duchess replied: 'I don't read anything, it's much safer that way, but equally that's just my own personal preference, because I think positive or negative.

'It can all sort of just feel like noise to a certain extent these days, as opposed to getting muddled with that to focus on the real cause.'

When asked later if she looked at Twitter she replied: 'No, sorry no. For me that's my personal preference.'

Yesterday anti-racist group Hope Not Hate published findings from its research into abuse targeted at the Duchess of Sussex on Twitter.

The group, who worked with CNN, found that more than 70 per cent of abusive messages aimed at Meghan were sent from just 20 accounts, many of which appeared to be set up simply to facilitate the sending of abuse.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
