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 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

How do you know all this? From a few public appearances?

"don't dislike Meghan for any reason other than her attention seeking and manipulative acting."

Now this really is bizarre. How can you possibly know that? How can you possibly like or dislike anyone that you know absolutely nothing about? I love looking at pictures of pretty frocks, and I have to admit being a bit disappointed by Meghan from a feminist point of view but being on her side because of the racist crap that's chucked at her, which is all the worse for being so subtly insidious, but like or dislike? Of course not.

@Mydogisforlife aw I love a nice lurcher... gorgeous dogs Smile. We've got a rescue hound too...a handful but a little love at heart, especially with the kids Smile

William and Kate’s card is staged to a ridiculous point. Even the kids have make up on, it’s so obvious.Harry’s and Meghan’s was just a wedding photo that they used from the day and I think more special as a result, even if Harry has ruined it a bit lol.

From a photography point of view it's not a great photo of Harry and Meghan - the fireworks are all blurry and fuzzy, the focus on the couple is off and there is nothing that makes it clear what the eye should be drawn to and the lightning is out. The way they are standing isn't great either, he overshadows her and the way he is standing is odd. Other than that.....

She has been a poor addition to our Royal Family - far too smug and attention-seeking. If I see her once more clutching her stomach ......

Please, do tell us more about your intimate, personal relationship with Meghan, @MilkTrayLimeBarrel.

MNHQ really need to start zapping these threads as they just devolve into dumpster fires.

MaddieElla · 15/12/2018 13:49

DM comments are gold. "I'm surprised Harry's even in it and it's not just Smerky cradling her belly like she's the Virgin Mary carrying the second coming" Xmas Grin

“Harry’s and Meghan’s was just a wedding photo that they used from the day and I think more special as a result, even if Harry has ruined it a bit lol.”

Yep. Just a picture from someone’s phone they downloaded and printed off. I bet they sat at home one evening with a box of blank cards and a pritt stick......

Just like us, the royals. Just like us.

Some of the comments on the Mail:

“The children are gorgeous, and most kids have hand me downs. Well done William and Catherine you have given the RF a family to be proud of.”

Yeah you know that William and Kate don’t actually read the comments and not do they care what you think.

“Beautiful photo of a genuine, lovely and respectful down to earth family, these people really are the antithesis of the ginger and his dreadful wife...”

Riiighhhhht. I wish these sickening sycophants would just go away.

limitedperiodonly · 15/12/2018 18:49

Harry and Meghan's Xmas card photo is so bad it's funny.

It's not racist to point that out.

Lydiaatthebarre · 15/12/2018 21:01

Not mad about the photograph but loving all the posters coming on to say HOW DARE ANYONE CRITICISE IT YOU MEGHAN AND HARRY HATING COWS. PLEASE TRY AND BE AS LUVLY AND TOLERANT AS ME.

JacquesHammer · 15/12/2018 21:13

The Cambridge’s card looks a bit too “Joules catalogue” for me.

“Just look at our delightful range for the perfect outdoor family”

MissEliza · 15/12/2018 21:16

Heaven forbid you ever say anything negative about anything remotely connected to MM but here goes ..... I would think it really odd to receive a picture of anyone's backs. I don't care what they were looking at, it's weird and I certainly wouldn't want it up on my mantlepiece.

'Please, do tell us more about your intimate, personal relationship with Meghan, @MilkTrayLimeBarrel.*'

Why is it that the Royal Family is deserving of protection from public opinions about them? They are bank rolled by the tax payer whichever way you look at it. Most people in the public eye are subject to people's opinions about them. Whether they know them personally or not.

We are allowed to have negative opinions about the RF and for posters to say the threads should be deleted and for MNHQ to take them down is censorship and it's pathetic.

Totally agree.

If we're going to help fund their home renovations and Givenchy gowns, the very least we should be allowed to do is express an opinion on them.

ElektraLOL · 15/12/2018 21:53

And yes I agree with whoever said about celebrities taking photos of the backs of their children - Nicky Hilton-Rothschild I'm looking at you!

IcedPurple · 15/12/2018 21:57

Yup - these 'celebs' are using their kids for PR but feel they ca excuse themselveds by not showing their faces. Kind of like the 'birth announcements' on Twitter with 'adorable' snaps of a little foot or a tiny hand clutching an adult hand. Why bother? If you feel the need to 'announce' the birth of your kid, either show a proper picture or none at all. Or better yet, don't 'announce' at all!

OutwiththeOutCrowd · 15/12/2018 21:57

A fly on the wall of Nottingham Cottage, inexplicably proficient in the English language, told me that there were actually three cards in the running. Here are the two that Harry preferred but Meghan vetoed.

If Meghan had been facing the camera, in a dress they’d have accused her of copying Diana, cradling her bump and looking smug. No wonder she turned her back.

All I noticed was the balding back of Harry's head but I think the photo is a bit hazy on my phone.
Meghan's Christmas card with her last husband also had a back view. It was on the DM site.
