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??

Apparently the photos are inside the card; they aren’t the front of the card which I assume will be a bit more festive. I think both the Cambridge’s and Sussex photos would be odd if they were the actual card but as a photo inside, I think they’re nice.

Yeah it’s a horrible photo. I like Meghan’s dress and that’s it. Weird pose, weird choice. I like the Cambridge one though!
And it’s not Meghan that gets all the hate. Kate gets just as much.
Sadly people have nothing better to do with their lives.
I love Louis’ outfit!

It’s a nice photo. However his leg is placed to mirror Meghans dress siloutte. Would have been better if his leg had been more naturally placed. Great photo otherwise.

I think it's a nod to the Sussex Bonfire tradition

ViragoKnows · 15/12/2018 08:45

I doubt it Sussex, TBH.

Didiusfalco · 15/12/2018 08:46

I really like her, and I love black and white photography but I don’t think this is a particularly good example. The vitriol directed to her is completely insane. Did you know that Harry gave a speech about women’s education and period poverty at the van straubenzee (sp) memorial concert? I don’t think without her influence he would be standing up talking about periods in church.

Meghan will have her baby next year, then they will divorce and she will go back to the USA as Princess Meghan of America and be minted for ever.

Really laughing at this thread Grin

He looks like bloody lurch in this picture!

Do you think she was musing over some photos for the card and saw this one and thought ''yeah i like the lighting in this and i look good and slim and lovely'' and she waved it at Harry who was on the PS4 reading the paper and he grunted and said ''yeah nice'' without looking up and that was that?

His stance is a bit, "Oh, if I have to".

I don't dislike them but I doubt if the relationship will last. Something's not quite right.

Clionba · 15/12/2018 09:03

@ViragoKnows- "DISCUSSTING" ha ha 😂 😂 😂!! So true. I actually don't think it's them. It's two stand ins.
Sussex you're right, they're referencing historic bonfires in British history.

ViragoKnows · 15/12/2018 09:04

The only thing that seemed off was the engagement interview (pretnding she hadn't known who he was prior to the blind date and so on) and who knows how much or how little to read into that?

I hope they're okay because i don't have the energy for another War of the Waleses.

LostInShoebiz · 15/12/2018 09:04

“Ooh it’s not Christmassy enough”. WTF do you expect? Meghan with a Santa hat on and Harry stuffing a mince pie in his gob?

I don’t understand why this woman attracts so much vitriol (or perhaps I do since some posters make it so obvious). The Cambridge and Wales cards aren’t Christmassy (especially the Wales card where they’re in some lovely sunshine).

Clionba · 15/12/2018 09:05

@Laiste - ha ha 😂 😂 😂!!! I love it.
We've all done that, surely, with a bloke? He looks bald, lumpy and awkward, but I look great! That's the pic!!

Sussexbonfireviking · 15/12/2018 09:05

Do you think they have any idea though? (I wasn't serious )

ViragoKnows · 15/12/2018 09:06

Oh sorry Blush

I think she just likes perfume ad type imagery TBH.

Clionba · 15/12/2018 09:08

@Sussexbonfireviking - yep, "it's all aflame, we're turning our backs on you, plebs"!
Or probably..... we like that pic, let's use it?
Next year, charity cards from M&S.

TheFaerieQueene · 15/12/2018 09:09

I think he looks like Prince Edward from the back! 🤣

Where?

You are clearly alluding to racism, so kindly point out the posters who have "made this obvious".

olivertwistwantsmore · 15/12/2018 09:16

I have a similar pic of me and dh on our wedding day looking at our fireworks, 20 years ago! Perhaps I should use it for our Christmas cards this year?

DaphneDiligaf · 15/12/2018 09:22

Well I don't feel very strongly but as Im here I dont like Harrys leg, nor for that matter Georges it looks strange in a fairly posed picture.

ViragoKnows · 15/12/2018 09:22

Who makes what obvious? What vitriol?

This is random inconsequential nattering, Which is what the RF are for.

😂😂😂

RoboticSealpup · 15/12/2018 09:25

Let me just start by saying that I think they seem lovely and I hate the media shit stirring around them... But I don't like it either. It really highlights the fact his hair is thinning.

Clionba · 15/12/2018 09:25

I couldn't help but notice young George has his leg stuck out on the Cambridges Christmas card.... Is there some sort of leg problem with the Windsors? A mutated gene impacting on male legs????

Cakemonger · 15/12/2018 09:26

They are nice people but I am so sick of hearing about them. I don't need this yearly release of 'photos' and don't understand why it makes the headlines.
