To think Harry and Meghan’s photo is odd looking?!

Just having a look at the royal family Christmas card pics. Very nice. Love William and Kate’s family pic. How sweet are those kids 😍

Lots of people on Twitter raving about Meghan and Harry’s photo. I genuinely really like Harry and Meghan. Nothing against them whatsoever.

But I absolutely refuse to believe that i am alone in thinking their photo is so awkward looking!

She looks stunning and the background is amazing but it just looks weird! I think it’s the way he’s standing. It’s not elegant. It looks really odd to me.

Anyone else??

Emily looks like the older sister/mother of one of the contestants in this year's Australian Survivor: tenplay.com.au/channel-ten/australian-survivor/survivors/shonee

I didn't like Harry and Megan's Christmas card because at first glance I thought that they were standing in front of a burning building which seemed an odd choice for a Christmas card.

CaraCarbonara · 15/12/2018 04:35

Harry and Meghan's card is really pretentious.
I like Kate's card though it would have been better if they'd been wearing Santa hats. I bet they do when they go round to Carole and Mike's.

I think the photo is quite nice. But I don't really get pictures of people's backs.

steff13 · 15/12/2018 04:45

Does he have a bald patch or is it the lighting/filter?

I saw a picture of him today on FB; he's got almost nothing left on top.

Sweepington · 15/12/2018 04:47

It’s the weird bandy leg at an odd angle.

RitaMills · 15/12/2018 05:16

I actually think it’s a lovely picture. It’s their first Christmas as newlyweds so it’s nice they’ve used a throwback picture of their day. I’m sure in 10 years time they will do the wholesome posing with the kids, which is lovely too, but this will be the only year of just the two of them and they look so in love so I think it’s a good choice. Unpopular opinion I know. Grin

I am starting to dislike this couple and a Christmas card of their backs only adds to that.

Mummyoflittledragon · 15/12/2018 05:35

Very strange choice. They could have done the b&w thing face on. That would have been nice perhaps. I agree with the odd proportions. He looks like odd bod from the Carry on films.

Needadvice101 · 15/12/2018 05:36

Jealousy! Meghan married him guys get over it you would have never had a chance or hope in hell with Harry

Bloody hell jealous. I don’t think so! I don’t like the photo. It doesn’t have to be a judgment about the couple. I am not keen on any of the royal cards tbh. Not very natural.

MarshaBradyo · 15/12/2018 05:55

It’s the bendy leg, not so much them but it does look off

Clionba · 15/12/2018 05:56

I don't like the card, and it's very similar to her Save the Date card for her first wedding. That was a black and white image from the back of Meghan and Trevor embracing and looking out to sea. Maybe it's her style.

lboogy · 15/12/2018 06:00

There is nothing Christmassy about Katie and William's photo either. But then there's nothing Meghan can do that will be right in some people's minds.

fieryginger · 15/12/2018 06:03

It's pretentious and meh, imo.

If you're going to send Christmas photo cards, I think making them a little christmassy is the way to go.

The Cambridge's should've pulled a Santa hat out for William (I jest). It was a lovely family photo, their children are lovely, it just didn't say Christmas.

ViragoKnows · 15/12/2018 06:04

I just don't like looking at people's backs in photos.

Thats what it reminds me of; Celebrities proudly sharing photos of the back of their children's heads.

KeysHairbandNotepad · 15/12/2018 06:09

It's overly artsy but not visually appealing at all. A really weird choice when they're a stunning couple.

It's a shame , but this thread will become a platform for people to type hateful things about Meghan eventually.

Wouldyouorshouldyou · 15/12/2018 06:18

It's not a good photo. The contrast of black and white is off and yes it's pretentious.

strawberrisc · 15/12/2018 06:23

If you want to see the outpouring of hate for Meghan just read the top comments on any article she fearures in on the Daily Fail. I don’t get all the hate.

Becles · 15/12/2018 06:35

@strawberrisc I don’t get all the hate.

It's really simple. She combines being American (AND worse mixed race) with a degree of self confidence and had the audacity to have actually worked for a living and to know what it's like to worry about paying the rent.

Next to the 'glowing English rose' that is Kate she doesn't know her place, and is certainly no better than she should be. If Kate had been a blonde, she'd absolutely stand no chance.

If their child is a girl, she will be systematically targeted and compared ceaselessly with Charlotte, especially if she favours her maternal grandmother.

dudsville · 15/12/2018 06:43

I wonder if H&M had that really long boring break between the ceremony and reception for pics or whether they did a separate photo shoot another day?

GaryBaldbiscuit · 15/12/2018 06:47

What is louis wearing?

ElektraLOL · 15/12/2018 06:51

There was something in the news about this where it says Harry's leg looks like a banana 🤣 she looks really glam, him, less so.

DanglyBangly · 15/12/2018 06:53

I like it. It’s not perfect and his leg is weird but I assumed that’s because it’s not a posed shot but just a moment the photographer captured.

I’ve always thought it’s bizarre to send Xmas cards with your own beaming photo on anyway. Teresa May has the right idea - hers has pictures drawn by children in her constituency.

AndhowcouldIeverrefuse · 15/12/2018 06:54

Another "I really like H&M but here is another flimsy reason for you haters to vent your vitriol" thread.

This is getting a bit boring.
