Does this scream "Photoshop" to anyone else? Lilibet's shoes, Meghan's leg and outrageously long arm,L is dressed for summer,A dressed for winter,the 3 year old looks more like 6. Jeeez...how embarrassing...🤦‍♀️

They’re clowns who have made a complete joke of themselves. What’s another pathetic photo?

It’s funny to think that they wanted to create their own ‘brand’. They created that alright.

There are lots of threads about people we will never meet are you commenting on all of them?

Who expect a genuine photo or card from any celeb?

You think Will and Kate pick any photo, leave it untouched and have it printed on their card?

Manypaws · 17/12/2024 10:18

@Tarraleah I think you need to read my comment, I'm not bothered by the photo

It's fine - literally nothing offensive about it.

Exactly but whatever they do people will gleefully rip them to shreds. Rather sad really.

Lindy2 · 17/12/2024 10:20

It's a bit cheesy. I'd like to see a proper family portrait but that's not going to happen with their need for "privacy ".

The hospital photo is a strange thing to have on a Christmas card but the lovey dovey ones are their normal style.

Manypaws · 17/12/2024 10:20

They have lovely Beagles, I will give them that

I'm all for a heated debate and chatting shit about the RF, but helpfully we are able to do it one place.

Thereby freeing up this topic for other made-up threads.

Awful card | Mumsnet

Happy holiday season. 🙄

Can you imagine that thread ? 🤣🤣

It would be the best thread ever, but from Harrys point of view.

"My brother pushed me over and I fell on the floor of my free house"
"My free house isn't big enough"
and the classic
"The tax payer paid three million quid for my wedding and I'm still not happy!"

I would quite liked to have had a photo of them all staring up at lights in the sky which would have felt a little Christmassy but also topical. I don't think the use of photoshop is troubling if just for family photos but sometimes the line between art and reportage can be bamboozling and it feels like it's impossible to tell what's 'real' any longer.

A picture with the 4 of them staring up at the sparkly UFOs buzzing round the area would have given the holiday card an inclusive and contemporary feel 👽🌠👽

Workingclasslass · 17/12/2024 10:31

I take it the right wing rag like the daily mail told you to think like this because I’ve just looked at them pictures they do not look Photoshop. There are tall children. Some children are quite tall for their age but nothing on them Photos look bad. It just looks like a nice family the hate that these two have got is disgraceful Prince Andrew who has had dealings with spies possible sex allegations didn’t seem to get the same sort of hate in the press that these two have done which is racism if you ask me.

Lobelia123 · 17/12/2024 10:32

As an aside, the two children have the most gorgeous hair!

LOL well,nest of vipers indeed. Should have known 🤦‍♀️🤣

Vipers because they’re disagreeing with you?

Isn't it unusual for Lilibet to have red hair when her mum has Afro hair? Maybe it isn't

Both the children have Auburn hair. Plenty of mixed race children have red/auburn and even blonde hair.

Jewell25 · 17/12/2024 10:35

It’s awful. I wish the two of them would just go away & live quietly. They’re the most tedious couple on earth.

CyranoDeBergerQuack · 17/12/2024 10:35

I doubt any of us here will be getting card from h & m, so why do we need to see it? Do other people send copies of their cards to the English press?

Genetics are funny aren’t they? I watched a YouTube video of a very black lady and a white husband both their children have come out mixed but one has come out really white in fact so white that she’s had police in America stop her because people believe that she has stolen the baby and she’s had to talk about the trolls she’s had and people don’t understand about genetics.

@puzzledlife "Isn't it unusual for Lilibet to have red hair when her mum has Afro hair? Maybe it isn't"

Not even remotely. Bad luck.

I am sure they won't have a bad word to say about yours.
Why so invested in a couple of largely irrelevant people living several thousand miles away?

People won't allow them to do that, whatever they, do or say it's in the news .

AlexP24 · 17/12/2024 10:39

It is absolutely cringy isn't it? The way they shoehorn in people of color like the saviours they portray themselves as makes me particularly want to vomit..

Anyone who thinks this card is anything other than ridiculous is a moron.

Crazybaby123 · 17/12/2024 10:40

I really would not care if they sent a 6 foot card to whomever they liked of them in their underwear. It really has no bearing on my life whatsoever. Therefore, I think the card is great, I havent seen it but I sure it serves it purpose for this odd ball couple living their oddball life that has nothing to do with mine

I don't think it or them are important enough to be ridiculous. I don't know why the card creates any feelings other than a shrug. Why does anyone care so much about it?

Not everyone feels like you going by this thread! It looks like 'morons' are in the majority.

The card is fine, no idea what the fuss is about.

t’s awful. I wish the two of them would just go away & live quietly. They’re the most tedious couple on earth.

Why do you click on threads and write about them then? Also, are they not allowed to send Christmas cards? I missed that law.
