What exactly is "the Sussex Squad"?

I don't know whether this is too controversial a topic for such a thread to be allowed to stand. But I post in good faith on a topic I believe has a lot of social and political relevance.

Does the "Sussex Squad" actually exist? If so, how do you join? If not, do people ever identify as belonging to it?

If it exists, was it hijacked by SarahData and Bouzy or was it their creation? And, if so, to what extent?

Thanks in advance.

It could be live TV and there would now be conspiracy theorist having a field day.

I would have expected the SS to welcome the absence of a picture - wasn't one of their gripes that the Waleses were capitalising on their DC and that they were seen/had pix released far too often?

And yes, I think this is a sign of a change to the "deal" with the press. There will be fewer pictures, as they won't fancy the (now inevitable and probably hostile) scrutiny. Maybe ones at the start of the school year, taken by a press pool photographer (on understanding that the DC will be left alone at school aside from that one occasion) plus a family snap on a Christmas card (as no-one could say with a straight face that that was a news photo rather than a family one). Plus of course anything from attendance at public official events.

Exactly . It’s not so long ago that the now- mysteriously- absent W and C critics were lambasting them for “ trotting out” the children for PR purposes.

I don’t blame them one little bit.
Both print media and social media lost their minds over the last released photo.

As for the SS well they don’t know which way is up at the moment and are being out manoeuvred and outplayed at every turn. I’m more than happy to let them ‘froth’😉.

This!

JADS · 23/04/2024 09:26

I don't blame them not releasing a photo of Louis. I wouldn't after all the shit they were put through.

Ladies, thank you for a really interesting thread. I have learned a lot. As it is about to hit 1000, is it worth starting a new thread titled "What are the Sussex Squad up.to now?"?

It might help those of us who are not on X/Twitter, and to wussy to brave Celebitchy, to keep up; and we can more easily spot the latest script and tactics and avoid rising to the bait on other threads?

Is that confirmed as fact?

If so, then it is damaging, because whatever was wrong must have been badly wrong

But this sort of thing would not be announced officially, so needs an impeccable and well-placed source

According to a former aide https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13313579/amp/Samantha-Cohen-Harry-Meghan-Africa-tour.html

Royal aide claims replacement 'left' during Meghan's 2019 Africa trip

Ms Cohen claimed that she stayed in her role three times as long as she had originally planned because officials struggled to find a replacement for her.

@Prydddan Please start a new thread. I too don't want to risk Celebitchy. It has been refreshing to read voices of sanity and reason.

OneHeartySnail · 23/04/2024 10:28

@Prydddan yes, please do

CathyorClaire · 23/04/2024 10:44

I'm up for a new thread. This one's been most enlightening.

MummyJ12 · 23/04/2024 12:10

Yes, me too! There seems to be enough going on with the squad to keep it going. For example, I see that Bouzy has just doxxed someone on TwiX. He’s beyond vile.

YaMuvva · 23/04/2024 12:25

They’ve released a picture of Louis!

Hes so ruddy cute. He absolutely looks like trouble. He also looks identical to my similar aged DS so I have a soft spot for little Louis

YaMuvva · 23/04/2024 12:26

Naaawwwww

Seems like the thread can’t continue. Shame.

Calling out this kind of dangerous behaviour is needed and it is sad that @MNHQ does not agree.

Yes, my post at 08:50 didn't age well, did it?

Why not? Can someone just not make a second thread?

Haha!

You can tell it’s not photoshopped as he’s clearly a chin licker (same as my son!). If she hadn’t been told off for her sub-par photoshopping skills she’d have edited that out

They did. It has been deleted as goady.

YaMuvva · 23/04/2024 12:38

That’s ridiculous

I’m gonna start one with the Louis picture and if people want to continue the squaddie chatter there then they may

GrouchyKiwi · 23/04/2024 12:38

That is a gorgeous photo of Louis.

Shame about the second thread. That's a nonsense decision.

ForIAmAStalwartOfTheseThreads · 23/04/2024 12:43

About as dangerous as a basket full of lemons…

AliceOlive · 23/04/2024 12:48

I wonder who would was bothered.

StormzyinaTCup · 23/04/2024 12:48
