In this work, we first revisit an S3 model with only one 4 Higgs electroweak doublet, where the flavour symmetry must be broken in order to produce 0 3 an acceptable pattern of masses and mixing for fermions. Then, we analyse different S3 1 models, where the flavour symmetry is preserved as an exact, but hidden symmetry of the : v low energy spectra, after the electroweak symmetry breaking. The latter models require i the addition of two more Higgs electroweak doublets which are accommodated in an S3 X r doublet. We also explore the consequences of adding a fourth Higg
