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??

I’d rather not look at gutter press racism to discuss it since numbers drive the money behind it

Lifeofsmiley · 15/12/2018 10:14

Why can’t they just put Christmas jumpers on and stand next to a Christmas tree ?

MarshaBradyo · 15/12/2018 10:16

There hasn’t been racism here, majority comments on Harry not Meghan, so why do people keep saying vitriol point vitriol

It's a lovely idea but I do think his leg looks a bit off in the photo now I've looked again.

Then again, they've picked a moment that makes them happy and who has time to bitch about that?

I prefer this one to William and Kates . This is a lovely moment in their live this year The other one to me seems staged.

Why dont you just say who?

All the passive aggressive aspersion casting is just rubbing everyone up the wrong way.

DonDrapersOldFashioned · 15/12/2018 10:27

The picture the OP c&p looks v weird. Bald patch & banana leg? Not Hazza’s best bits.

limitedperiodonly · 15/12/2018 10:29

I'd rather be part of a community where serious issues were taken seriously than just discussing the bend in 'Arry's leg wink

I know, pet. Life is a series of disappointments where people constantly fail to meet my standards too. But I soldier on.

LostInShoebiz · 15/12/2018 10:30

Virago it’s only you and maybe one other person who is currently rubbed up the wrong way.

DonDrapersOldFashioned · 15/12/2018 10:30

I agree that the colour saturation is wrong (in the picture, not of their skins, before anyone leaps on me). It looks like a bad Instagram filter.

Cocolepew · 15/12/2018 10:31

I think it looks like Edward too.
A giant, odd legged Edward.

Clionba · 15/12/2018 10:32

A giant, odd legged Edward 😂 😂 😂

BlancheM · 15/12/2018 10:37

I like the sentiment but the photo itself isn't going to win any awards. It's literally a pic of the backs of two people on a dark night. I notice their hands entwined- they are cuties.

Then again it's not intended to blow anyone away or be Christmassy, the caption states it's one of the many photos taken at the wedding.

Less widely publicised, this is the snap used by Liz, Phil and the dorgis for their festive felicitations.

That's a real shame for you, my little prune pip, and I'm really sorry for you. But in this case the issues are being taken seriously as people are discussing them, so I'm not able to share your disappointment this time Smile . No doubt someone, somewhere will disappoint me at some point today though, and I'll come back and let you know so you're not struggling alone, especially at Christmas.

Clionba · 15/12/2018 10:52

OutwiththeOutCrowd I can't help feeling that you are being anti dog. Dogs have feelings too. It's HM's exquisite card featuring her love for all things canine. Set against the romance of fireworks. Let's not have any dog hate. 😜 😂

heartsofgold · 15/12/2018 10:58

People will happy find fault about everything they do. If they'd had a picture sat on a log in the woods with a dog they be criticised.

Why shouldn’t people find fault with everything they do, but not just them, the whole bloody lot of them. We shouldn’t have them.

Having had another look at the photo be leg angle makes it look as though Meghan is propping Harry up, which I suppose she might have been.....

maddiemookins16mum · 15/12/2018 11:17

Louis is adorable. That said, does anyone really get this bothered by the Royals Christmas cards.

Secretisout · 15/12/2018 11:18

I don't dislike Meghan for any reason other than her attention seeking and manipulative acting. Don't anyone try and tell me she didn't have a master plan to snare Harry or to believe her lies she didn't know who he was

God, if I was pregnant and emotional, and in a foreign country, and I had to read that shite every day I'd go fucking nuts

I would hope that the first piece of advice given to Meghan was not to read anything about herself. Kate, who is neither American, mixed-race nor divorced, was torn to shreds in the tabloid comment sections until Meghan came along and she's suddenly all that's wonderful.
Meghan and Harry appear to be greeted with adulation on their public appearances, which no doubt pleases them. They can ignore most of the rest.
