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.

Wow what an overreaction

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

IME Californian beauty standards do not celebrate curls tho. The Curley Girl method will be a complete must.

I think we all don't like them much because they publicly dissed their own families in several interviews for money. Public acts of disloyalty, funnily enough have attracted international ridicule. We love to hate them!
They should have complained about their family problems here on Mumsnet like the rest of us do!

Both their families are fucking hideous, why shouldn't they talk about them?

Seems odd IMO to have 6 photos not one -and seems odd mix of professional - this is what we've done throughout years (sort of) workwise and pic of their kids.

Hospital bed scene also big odd and can see why some people think they are using other people as props rather than people - but presumably they must have got permission and who know may be flattered to be of this card.

I suspect it's supposed to look informal - lots of random snaps - but not sure it hits the mark and their kid one does look bit odd in places.

However it's not the worst thing they've done and may fit USA cultural corporate card norms which I'd be unaware of.

Extiainoiapeial · 17/12/2024 11:05

I agree. It really is very very funny, how utterly worked up people get. They left, get over it! And anyone who feels like they need to 'vomit' as a result of seeing their Christmas card really ought to get checked out at the doctor's, possibly a reflux problem

Atwhatpointdo · 17/12/2024 11:07

I quite like it!

HeadNorth · 17/12/2024 11:09

I haven't seen the card, I don't care enough to look for it. I do know that there is a certain segment of society that gets a disproportionate amount of satisfaction from being unnecessarily vile about a couple they have never met, have committed no crime, and who don't impinge on their lives in any meaningful way. Thankfully this unpleasantness is usually confined to the Royal Family topic. Have a visit if you enjoy bile and spite with a sprinkling of mad conspiracy theories.

It doesn't even say Christmas on it. Only Happy Holidays

Ummm.... they live in America, Meghan is American and that is totally normal in the US.

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?

It's been picked up from their website becsuse the British press are obsessed with them. They are obsessed with them because the traffic they bring to their site is astronomical compared to any other member of the RF. It is astronomical because of the sheer volume of people who view and comment on the articles. Mostly saying ' why don't they go away?' They don't go away because people are obsessed with them, and the circle continues.

needsomewarmsunshine · 17/12/2024 11:14

FFS Does anyone really care about these people? It's just another excuse to bitch about them isn't it?
They brought all the shite on themselves so let them get on with it.

Extiainoiapeial · 17/12/2024 11:16

Well said. Totally agree. Posters want them to go away, and when they are quiet they ask where they are and what are they doing, and scratch around through all the media to find something... anything... negative to start a thread about.
It's a Christmas card, there's no law against it, and it certainly doesn't warrant the usual 'I wish they'd go away'.

Again, exactly what the rest of the Royals do, especiallyafter they have been accused of being racist. I don't think Harry has managed to exempt himself from equality legislation like The Late Queen did...

Pot? Kettle? Aren't you also "getting worked up" over people posting a different opinion to yourself?

All these people making bitchy comments really do need to get a life or at least a hobby. It says more about them as people when they slag unknowns off so much.
I hate celeb culture and can't get worked up about randoms and their fucking lives and bloody christmas cards.

I'm not the one starting threads entitled 'oh dear... harry and meghan's christmas card'.
That's you!
And I don't need to vomit like a PP.

I just find it funny

With that ridiculous, rude and superior imagination, you ought to be writing fiction.

Lunde · 17/12/2024 11:24

The card is a bit odd as you don't usually put your kids on a corporate card unless they are part of your brand.

And when did Harry shave his beard off? as he doesn't have it on the card photo with the kids.

Ultimately it is a bit low effort as it is identical to last year's card with different photos pasted in. Compare 2023 with 2024.

I think it's more embarrassing starting s thread about people you don't, know, will never know just to have a go at them yet again, they cant do right for doing wrong and it's pathetic

This. Honestly OP, think about the sort of person you want to be? Is it someone who is horrible about people you don't know?
I always think the people that post these types of threads would have been part of the audience in public stonings.

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

Well, you started a very bitchy thread, so what did you expect?!

Whatsnmynameagain9 · 17/12/2024 11:26

I can’t get wound up about it.

Theres a swift move on MN to diss anything H&M do. Get a life people.

After all the fuss over Catherine's Mothers Day card from the press, you'd think they'd apply the same rigour to The Sussex's. Yes it looks very photoshopped.

The Sussex's haven't released their Christmas card to the media. Unlike Kate's card.

And they are not working paid for Royals.
