There are other people making money out of these conspiracy theories too...
THE Sussex Squad is a group of social media trolls, carrying out some of the worst online bullying of the Princess of Wales.
The group - which is not endorsed by the Sussexes - has peddled sick conspiracy theories around Kate Middleton’s abdominal surgery, claiming she was the victim of domestic violence, was in the middle of a divorce from Prince William or hiding away after plastic surgery.

The self-proclaimed Sussex Squad claims The Sun’s exclusive video of Kate visiting a farm shop in Windsor features a body double or lookalike.
The trolls cruelly claim Prince William threw his wife “under a bus” after the princess admitted tweaking her annual Mother’s Day picture.
And today The Sun revealed some of the sinister tactics the trolls use against those who speak out against them.
