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.

I read the statement was actually released through Harpers Bazaar, rather than from the Office of the Duke and Duchess, that's a bit strange. Maybe via Scobie, isn't that one of his previous employers ?

@LadyChatterjee 😂😂

Going to catch up now😁

Harpers Bazaar you say??

... hopefully for their sakes they’ve kept him at arms length and used him like a useful idiot

Hopefully indeed, LadyChatterjee; with someone like this it's the only thing to do if you have to associate with them at all

However given some of their behaviour and choices I'm just not sure they have the judgement to work that out

Why did “ a spokesperson “ not issue the statement as usual rather than via Harper’s Bazaar?
Why refer to her as Kate rather than Catherine or- given they are so insistent on using Royal titles themselves- why not The Princess of Wales ?
As far a reconciliation is concerned I would imagine Charles would love that but no chance with William . And I don’t blame him.

I mentioned this myself last night, themessygarden, and that rather than being directly employed by Harpers Bazaar Scobie's been freelance since 2017

He remains their royal correspondent though, so whether the unnamed "spokesperson" who shared their statement was him or not is anyone's guess

Do you not think Scobie knows too much for H and M to fully distance themselves?

Yep. They're tied to that bloke.
He knows where the bodies are buried and boy would he talk.

Of course he would talk, he'd sing like a canary if they ever tried to take a step back from him. He knows too much for them to cut ties with him.

For me, it goes a long way to explain why they don’t ever seem to distance themselves from him and his snarky, negative comments.

Either that or maybe they have gone full Doyle.

Sone folk do like it. Beats me why.

Scobie is very pally with Markus Anderson of Soho House. Anderson was most instrumental in promoting Meghan on her UK visit in the summer of 2016. Contacts.

I tell you what, some people have a lot of fucking nerve and zero shame.

Sorry for the interjection. This whole sorry episode has been very difficult for anyone with a brain or a heart.

Scobie and Bouzy, bell end 1 and 2 are certainly not making it easier for Harry and Meghan. I never understand why people allow people near them who can bring them down. The same as the royals who associate with Clarkson and Piers. I would want all of them checked for fleas before they came within an inch of me.

Aw I love pigs 😍

Best avoided, it's like the people you see shouting and screaming in the street, you have some sympathy for them but you give a wide berth

Bouzy is on full warrior mode, where there’s money to be made and all that, even a bloody Sussex squad meet up. He’s not letting cancer get in the way of his campaign.

I can’t even look.

They are very intelligent creatures. And super cute.

And I just won’t.

The post just above you by @Salemforcuddles gave the best strategy for that cauldron of venom.

And bodies.

Someone shared this recently - a body language analyst addresses Meghan’s silence on the Sussex Squad at SXSW. It’s quite interesting. I haven’t watched his videos before but he doesn’t have an axe to grind and doesn’t seem to discuss MM often - there’s a bit of a disclaimer at the beginning saying that anyone looking for Meghan hate/ Meghan fan videos has come to the wrong place and it’s just about the behaviour analysis. Anyway, the relevant part (about social media) begins at around the 10 minute mark.

What is also sad is that this debacle started as soon as it was revealed that she was going on to hospital, and only now that it turns out she has had cancer are some people feeling bad about their behaviour. She was ill. Why does it take the fact that she has had cancer to make some examine their words? It shouldn’t have happened in the first place 🤷‍♀️
