During a recent appearance on "GB News," British socialite and royal author Lady Colin Campbell and British journalist Phil Dampier criticized Prince Harry for acknowledging the Sussex Squad, a group they described as "full of hatred." Host Dan Wootton asked the royal experts whether the Duke of Sussex's support for the Sussex Squad would only encourage the toxic behavior of some of its members.

Campbell replied, "Well, yes, of course, that's exactly what he's doing." She went on to claim that the Sussex Squad receives payment from Archewell's account, adding that they are called the Sussex Squad "for a very good reason."

Campbell accused the group of being full of hatred, threatening the life of the current Princess of Wales, and making horrific comments about the royal children. She expressed disbelief that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would think it appropriate to pay and recognize such individuals.

Wootton also asked Dampier for his thoughts on the Sussexes' promotion of kindness and internet cleanliness, while their supporters are allegedly "the most vicious, the most nasty, and the most violent of them all." Dampier acknowledged that it was a mixed game and that Prince Harry's thanks for the fundraising efforts could not be taken away.

Dampier stated, "I don't have any problem with him thanking them for fundraising, but where I do agree is that to my knowledge, Harry and Meghan have never spoken out about the online trolls." He suggested that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex should ask the trolls to tone down their behavior and speak out against it. However, he also mentioned Prince Harry's book "Spare," noting that Harry's own "nasty streak" may not be setting the best example.

Prince Harry's charity, Sentebale, had previously thanked the controversial Sussex Squad for their assistance in raising funds. Some members of the group have faced criticism for engaging in online abuse against those who oppose the Sussexes, as reported by The Telegraph.

A Sentebale spokesperson told The Telegraph, "Sentebale received donations through an online fundraising platform under the banner of 'Sussex Squad' in 2022, which highlighted Sentebale's work in Lesotho and Botswana." The spokesperson added that the charity treats the Sussex Squad like any other member of the public who wants to raise funds for their work and that acknowledging their support is standard practice.
