A series of text messages surfaced on Instagram, allegedly exchanged between two members of the Sussex Squad, a group of supporters of Meghan Markle.
The origin of these leaks is unclear, and the authenticity of the participants has not been confirmed. However, the content suggests that they are likely genuine members of the Sussex Squad, expressing disillusionment, particularly towards Meghan Markle.
The conversation centers around recent events in Nigeria, criticizing Meghan Markle's behavior during what they describe as a faux royal tour. One participant labels the tour as useless, while the other highlights the perks, including free accommodation and clothes. They express dissatisfaction with Meghan's interactions with Nigerian officials, alleging that her requests were denied because the visit was private. The participants also criticized the tour's organization, claiming that it lacked official involvement and was mainly facilitated by the army. They discussed Meghan and Harry's demands, including special accommodations and transportation preferences.
The conversation touches on Meghan's acknowledgment and thanks to the Sussex Squad for their support, despite overall disappointment with her behavior. One participant mentions traveling to the United Kingdom in a few weeks and asks if the other has their tickets. The response, "I will with Peace Air," refers to an airline with allegations of bank fraud and money laundering against its owner. This was the airline Meghan used in Nigeria, showing a lack of consideration for appearances. The first participant continues, "We're still working on Harry and Meghan's PR campaign here in Nigeria. We got the funds but are waiting on more from defense and Abuja." This suggests that paid PR is a practice with funds coming from multiple sources, possibly including the Sussexes and Nigerian defense.
The second participant responds, "Those two useless grifters. There's massive corruption in Nigeria and they're wasting money on these two." The first participant replies, "LOL, you're jealous. We all know they're lazy and useless, but the campaign money is good. There will always be corruption in Nigeria." This indicates that money is being used for PR purposes and some individuals are happy to pocket the money despite their low opinion of the Sussexes. The conversation continues, criticizing the use of funds for PR instead of benefiting citizens. They discuss non-disclosure agreements, noting that in Nigeria they don't feel restricted by them.
They mentioned Dr. Shola Shogbamimu, an active Sussex Squad member who attacks the royal family, especially Prince William. One participant's job is to gather information and send it to Omid Scobie, Denise Narinder, and the Sussex Network in the US, indicating a well-organized Sussex Squad with specific roles. They discuss Omid Scobie, implying that he's paid by the Sussexes to write favorable articles about them. This isn't surprising given his behavior, but it's revealing to see it stated explicitly. They also mention Christopher Bouzy, suggesting that he's also on the payroll.
The conversation ends with a discussion about another Sussex Squad member who frequently travels and covers expenses, apparently funded by the Sussexes. This individual is in regular contact with Scobie and Meghan, indicating a well-coordinated effort to manage PR and propaganda. While the authenticity of these texts remains debatable, they shed light on potential rifts within the Sussex Squad and raise questions about Meghan's public image. If accurate, these texts provide fascinating insight into how Meghan seeks to control her image and secure benefits by paying individuals to spread favorable narratives.
