The number of Meghan's supporters, commonly known as the Sussex Squad, has experienced a substantial decline compared to the previous year. Currently, there is a reduced faction of Sussex supporters, accompanied by purported automated accounts, engaging in financial efforts. The Sussex Squad was proactively disseminating comprehensive 11-page documents in advance to Byline Times in order to furnish them with information, indicating a strong collaboration between the tabloid and Meghan and Harry.
Byline Times is a British newspaper and website that arose during the period when Meghan and Harry received significant public attention. A supporter of Meghan and Harry, known as Sarah, issued a plea for donations on Twitter. She mentioned that the Sussex Squad had already donated almost £1,00,000 out of the total £3,000 raised for Byline Times in just 24 hours. This has prompted inquiries on the degree of Meghan and Harry's association with Byline Times, potentially implying a monetary stake in the journal.
In 2021, Meghan and Harry utilised Oprah Winfrey's platform to conduct a highly-debated interview that criticised the Royal Family. In 2023, it seems that they have resorted to utilising Byline Times for a like objective. According to Lady C's disclosure, Byline Times is making an effort to promote the purchase of physical copies of their journal as opposed to relying exclusively on digital material. They are undeterred by the possibility of defamation litigation, as they may choose to pursue administration or bankruptcy in the event of legal disputes.
A notable development in this story revolves around Meghan and Harry's connection to Dan Evans, a convicted cybercriminal who collaborated with Byline Times. Evans also had involvement in Prince Harry's legal spat with Mirror Group Newspapers earlier this year. According to a new story by Byline Times, the division within the Royal Family was initiated by an alleged conspiracy involving exchanging money for leaking information. The claim also implies that the Royal Family gained advantages from spreading defamatory stories about Meghan Markle. According to the allegation, an insider alleges that King Charles expressed anxiety over Harry and Meghan's potential to overshadow the rest of the family in the media.
Nevertheless, it is crucial to acknowledge that all of these accusations were ultimately disproven. Meghan's endeavour to focus on the Royal Family via a tabloid occurred subsequent to other media platforms and streaming providers having distanced themselves from the couple. The notion of King Charles' actual concern with Meghan and Harry overshadowing him is subject to debate, given the substantial disparities in their respective positions and authority. The Royal Family displays a lack of significant care towards them, although several critics in the United States have proposed that Americans have become fatigued by their actions and would embrace their repatriation to the UK.
