Photoshoot for the Sussex Children?

[MrsFinkelstein]

I actually hope this isn't true. It's one thing I've always admired of the Sussexes, that they have (generally) protected their children's privacy very effectively.

I hope its not related to the new commercial venture.

Thanks, you are too kind. Not sure there's a lot of wise in there, but hopefully truth. I'm tired from a broken night. Bear with a sore head if I'm honest. And surprised at how angry I feel for Catherine and William. I'm grateful to all those lovely posters who consistently said give them time and stop harassing them. And who kept on posting despite some frankly bizarre modding decisions by MN. MN need to have a good hard look at what they decided to delete and what they allowed to stand these last few weeks.

I don't know this Bouzy guy you refer to but Kate doing that video on her own? It shows she is a boss! An independent woman who doesn't need to always be hanging onto her husband. Even the King has come out and paid special tribute to her bravery.

Well said.

If he's been sat next to her, they'd be complaining she was being forced to say what she was saying or some other such nonsense.

Self reflection is indeed a quality that all are not empowered with.

You're right, actually he's a bigger man than I thought he was for doing that and should be appreciated for that (and I can't stand him).

Harry and Meghan are unfortunate with the six degree of separation. I don’t think there is much that could be done about the Sussex squad,. The squad have evolved that they are not one entity they have various fractions and different messaging, the harm they have done is the hashtag itself of Sussex, Harry and especially Meghan detractors are not necessarily royalists, or Will and Kate admirers, there some but not in the numbers of the squad. To the point the SS have to give those who are awful to Harry and Meghan the derangers name. Bouzy was a stupid decision to involve, anyone who saw the Amber Heard supporters saw how Bouzy made it worse and not better for Amber. I’m hoping they have also cut Omid. Personally I feel Harry must be feeling like absolute shit, not pointing blame but because he’s human and his brother, SiL and nieces and nephews are suffering and there’s no relationship to process that, and knowing abuse is coming there way as well especially for Meghan

I've not had either @smilesy . I am battling with indecision about the correct topping for a Brambly Apple hot cross bun. Sussex jam not an option.

Interesting. He was doubling down yesterday evening. He was also going to do a "live" with the Sussex Squad to discuss it all.

I see the conspiracists on Twitter have pivoted to blaming "the Comms team" for letting the narrative get out of hand.
There is no Comms team on earth that cpild have controlled that hysterical train of batshit. And as its been clear that W&C have been directing their Comms, by attacking the Comms team they're still putting the boot into W&C (specifically W).

"It's not my fault Mum, the big bad Comms Team made me do it!"

And I also see that W should have been sitting next to her, holding her hand!!!!

Why do they insist on giving Catherine zero agency? She not the Princess and the Pea! If she wanted W next to her, then damn sure he would have been.

Really strong women don't need a man to hold their hand.

I think that Catherine’s title really smarts for both of them.

KP is W&C.

Stop attacking this woman and her husband for deciding on how and when to reveal her cancer diagnosis.

It's foul.

I see Twitter is in overdrive again . Sussex Squad incandescent that H and M ( apparently) only found out about the cancer at the same time as the rest of us . Disrespectful, petty , hurtful are the nicer words being bandied around .
According to Chris Ship ( has he apologised yet?) H and M have “ reached out privately “ to W and C . I would be amazed if they got past the switchboard.

@MrsFinkelstein I think there's a lot of misogyny as well - a woman making her own statement? Not clinging on to a man or seeking his validation and reassurance?
These are the same people who thought she shouldn't have bodily autonomy and privacy when ill.

Really strong women don't need a man to hold their hand.

Her strength really shone through. It belies all of the nonsense these small people have spouted about her, for years now.

I wish rhymes could have kept it from them forever. Those two have no right to know anything about her or to even speak her name. Where’s Will Smith?

No shame. None. Why would anybody tell those 2 their private business?

Nicola Sturgeon's sister also posted something yesterday at 5.35pm referring to Kate and good luck to her blah blah in anticipation of a 6pm announcement. These people are so confident at the time but when subjected to criticism by those with a higher moral standard they fall apart, start bleating and whining about how they just followed what they read.its strange that some people feel this compulsion to be right in there with I said it first, I knew, I posted this then blah blah followed by oh but no wait I only said this or that. It has been the same on here as well. So many who knew it all and more posting their own twisted versions and now wriggling like worms on a back-pedalling bike.

I also don’t understand some of the sexist mysogny on here. Kate may well have edited the photo, Kate may have requested it, she may have been the person who chose to release it. People assuming she was thrown under the bus are being ludicrous. It was hardly bloody some major crime. It’s a photoshopped image from a woman who is ill.

Oh give it a bloody rest.

It doesn't fit the narrative of a weak Royal Family wife who turns out like a show pony. The sheer guts it must have taken to do that when she must just want to cry every time she thinks about her children and her family. She is a strong woman.

Absolutely. It's her story to tell, she said William had been supporting her. She clearly has a core of utter steel.

I'm sure he was right there, but she wanted to make clear she was announcing it. She's been given no autonomy from the SM trolls - to me it was her taking back some measure of control.

The whole line about "he should have been next to her" is very misogynistic and anti-feminist. It's just reducing a woman to her husband.

Plus William got some slagging off on here for pulling out of the Greek Royal Family memorial. That's when Kate got the diagnosis.
