A grandmother who is 18th cousin of the Queen is facing being deported back to South Africa after she was refused a visa to live in the UK.

Brenda Ackerman, 71, traced her family tree back to the 12th Century which revealed her to be a distant relative of King John James 1st and Robert the Bruce.

Mrs Ackerman was born in South Africa but fled in 2006 with her husband Brian after a string of burglaries.

They moved to Dubai to be with their daughter Candice Gordon, 45, before finally settling in the UK in 2013 following the death of Mrs Ackerman’s husband Brian.
