Emma Sayle, 32, posted a message that read: "Just had a two-hour shooting lesson. She will now be using this skill on the top of East London high rises to help with the UK's illegal immigrant problem."

One person who read the comment reported Miss Sayle to police. A file was sent to the Crown Prosecution Service but Scotland Yard said yesterday that the investigation has been dropped and no further action will be taken.

Miss Sayle is the leader of The Sisterhood, an all-female rowing crew which counted Miss Middleton among its members.

She dismissed the complaint as "pathetic", saying it was "created by someone who's obviously got a grudge".

In a second posting on Facebook, she wrote: "Just had a call from the old bill demanding I go in as someone has reported me for apparently making racist comments... hahaha... using my new found gun skills to control the UK's illegal immigrant population is not what I call racist."

Her Twitter page features a link to an article on a Right-wing website headed "Australia says no to Muslims". >>> Anita Singh | Friday, December 31, 2010
