Look at Queenies hands Hmm

Corona related? Couldn’t get them both together for a pic so faked it?

I know tgere are plenty of rumours going around that he died, but I'm more likely to assume he isn't in good health and unable to stand for long enough perhaps?

What are we looking for?

TooOwls · 09/06/2020 23:09

Hasn’t been seen in public since Christmas Eve apparently.

I don’t think he’s dead, but yes probably v poorly?! Why don’t they just say that

Photo looks OK to me.

Medievalist · 09/06/2020 23:21

What do you mean?

TooOwls · 09/06/2020 23:24

Look at the queens hands on the link photo not the screenshot

Very clear photoshop line

The rumours that he has died keep coming up don't they, if he had though why wouldn't they just announce it?
Terrible photo, should have just posted a throwback one.

Froq · 09/06/2020 23:27

He looks great! They both do.

PerspicaciaTick · 09/06/2020 23:27

He looks OK in the photo but the Queen, especially her hands, look oddly flat. Like someone has taken out her handbag and changed the fabric of her dress. Could it be caused by overly harsh photographer's lights shining at them on a very sunny day.

rosiethehen · 09/06/2020 23:30

The figures look like they're superimposed on the background.

MissMarplesHandbag · 09/06/2020 23:30

I concur @TooOwls

PorpentiaScamander · 09/06/2020 23:33

Definitely looks like a photo shop job.

But why would her hands have photo shop edges, surely only the outline of queenie would have it Confused

megletthesecond · 09/06/2020 23:34

The hand thing is intriguing.

ComDummings · 09/06/2020 23:36

They look like they’ve been pasted on to the background. Weird

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 09/06/2020 23:36

There are some odd parts to the photo for sure.

No feet - easier to drop them both in front of a stock image of Windsor.
The outline of the Queen is off, especially around the hands.
There's no shadow on either of them or by shading which would appear in an outdoor photograph.

BettyCarver · 09/06/2020 23:36

I thought it was common knowledge they live separately now. I doubt they’re together long enough to get a decent photo

GinAndTonicNeeded · 09/06/2020 23:40

outlines on his shoulders are very clear

They probably had to airbrush out Queenie giving him the middle finger.
Due to all of the airbrushed out affairs he’s had over the decades 🤣

SaharaSarah · 09/06/2020 23:44

That looks photoshopped Confused. I like her dress.

TinyPigeon · 09/06/2020 23:45

That's really poor Photoshop. I've seen better profile pictures on fb.
