At this point, the "Sussex Squad"—which is a pretty childish name in itself, especially considering they chose it—is just embarrassing itself. They've spent years pushing the same narratives, yet they've only made the Wales family more popular. What's more, people who aren't even royal watchers are starting to notice how extreme some of the online behaviour has become. When every photo, appearance, or charity event turns into another conspiracy theory or personal attack, it becomes much harder for the wider public to take those claims seriously.

Living in the Republic of Ireland, I do find it interesting when Republi declare all the cost savings doing away with the RF would bring about without acknowledging the cost of running and operating a presidency.

Having also looked at the motley crew of prime ministers and party leaders, I genuinely think KC and PW and Catherine would do a better job than any of them. I think polling shows they would win any election.

Its a challenging role as a constitutional Monarch / President, our new President seems adept at keepie uppies but not quite so good at walking that fine line, hopefully she’ll find her feet.

I think Catherine does a lovely job, she makes it about other people, not herself. There’s no fanfare, no closing the path for her an a TV crew, just some nice engagement with other people, after a hard time with illness

We still have Wimbledon, that should bring out a few more screams and screeches and wishful thinking about how the RF is ‘finished’ 😀

It's fascinating that you have to brig up Harry and Meghan with totally false theories, to defend Catherine in a totally unrelated topic (or rather diverge the discussion). It’s a massive tell. Most people are perfectly capable of looking at the royal family faults and low output without giving a single thought to the Sussexes. If you can’t defend her and the monarchy on its own merits without pivoting to this couple living far away in California, it just proves you don’t actually have an argument. That's quite pathetic.

Go on then, slag Harry and Meghan off for wasting tax payers money etc

Why would I do that? Anyone has the right to bring a case against the government lots of people have and for just as long should we also apply the same line they are wasting taxpayers money?

Because the impression you give is that you hate the entire royal family and are complaining about the rest? Why not Harry? Oh wait, I know exactly why. Coz you’re a faux republican 😉

The Sussex Squad formed a group, named themselves, and proudly wear their tshirts on their video calls.

Are you calling them childish for using the term?

And how does anyone k ow who on here is one of those members? Brandishing posters for having a different opinion to yourself as a squad member, a fan, a republican etc. The labelling and putting people into groups is childish. Yes they are childish too.

🤣 , no doubt! And the amusing part! , a great majority of posters on this thread pushing back are not regular rf board posters! , they probably stumbled on here from active, because of the title!
what must they be thinking of this carry on , I wonder?

And the carry on on the other threads of this board too...

The Sussexes aren't even working royals. Yes, they’re annoying, but they’re out in California funding their own lives. They aren't part of Andrew's rehabilitation, they aren't draining the taxpayers, and they aren't getting a pass for doing nothing. They actually left. The end.

Besides, isn't this topic about Catherine? What the fuck do Harry and Meghan have to do with her work ethic? Anyone with a brain knows the real problem isn't the Sussexes who are just noise, it’s Catherine and the rest of that royal family who call themselves working royals, their entitlement, and the absolute refusal of some members of being held accountable.

Are you similarly upset with members like about @Ukisgaslit calling anyone who disagrees with them “royalist” and “monarchist”?

Edited because you deserve applause for pointing out that they are also childish for naming themselves that.

Harry and Meghan were funded by taxpayers for years before they flounced off, yet they still expect the public to cover the cost of their security. They should be held to account just like everyone else.

And once people in this thread start bringing up Andrew and others, you lose the right to insist it’s only about Catherine and that Harry and Meghan can’t be mentioned.

You lot really do twist yourselves into knots. 🥨

"Funding their own lives"? Is that why Harry has spent years fighting for UK taxpayers to fund his security? That lawsuit alone has already cost taxpayers money (Did he pay it back?). The rest of your comment is just 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱

BigWillyLittleTodger · 01/07/2026 16:47

Has Harry paid the government the money he owes for his failed court case yet?

BigWillyLittleTodger · 01/07/2026 16:51

Does anyone know how much full time armed 24 hour security for four people for 2 weeks would cost the British tax payer whilst said people were here on holiday?

EmpressSisi · 01/07/2026 16:52

I’d love to see how much Harry as a single royal and Harry and Meghan as a couple cost the tax payer during their time as ‘working’ royals. You don’t ever see the faux republicans questioning this do you 🤷🏼‍♀️

CurlewKate · 01/07/2026 16:52

It’s a shame that Catherine could not somehow have done the walk as a personal challenge, and to highlight that there is life after cancer. Or even have done it entirely privately. And then encouraged public donations some other way-via one of the souvenir shops or something. There’s bound to be problems with her personally fundraising-if that’s what she’s doing.

You’ve offered two different perspectives entirely there. Which one do you wish she would have done?

She did do the walk as a personal challenge and to highlight that there is life after cancer or while living with cancer. That was exactly the message she released. Her personal challenge was then connected to a fundraising effort by The Royal Marsden hospital encouraging public donations towards increasing holistic care services at the hospital.

The Royal Marsden is doing the fundraising. They are using the very high profile of their patron to do so.

The other charity that has been highlighted is was an organic development to her meeting the young boy in the wheelchair - she made a donation to his campaign which was a kind way of getting his charity campaign more publicity because they could then talk about the donation and have the media share the link for that.

The latest bugle call appears to be tell them off for mentioning Harry and Meghan! Well the answer to that is no, absolutely not, funny isn’t it how radon gas and Dartmoor prison doesn’t get cries of what’s that got to do with the thread? so start practicing what you preach or button it.

It’s only a shame for you, you who appear to have a personal grudge against Catherine in particular. Yes you must find in a great shame how positively her successful challenge has been received, how popular she is, how heartfelt her video was, how much people will have donated to The Royal Marsden because of Catherine.

I wouldn’t wish cancer on anyone however this constant ‘wow amazing’ everyone Kate does anything is pretty insulting to all those who are diagnosed and having to work, deal with family life etc with very little support. As usual Kate and William not reading the room. Cancer outcomes and treatment times are going backwards 🙁

It's not a race to the bottom you know.
Neither are the two things mutually exclusive. Her achievement doesn't mean not recognising that people struggle managing, financially, mentally, and physically.

Yes! Somewhat hypocritical to complain about ham being mentioned on here , when they pretty much have thrown everything but the kitchen sink at this thread!! 😬

Have you not actually read or watched any of the actual footage or news???
that is exactly what she did 😬
