Oh dear...Harry and Meghan's Christmas card photo

[ChristmasPudd1990]

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...🤦‍♀️

I haven't seen the image and am not really interested enough to go looking but if it IS photoshopped, what are they thinking?? Have they forgotten the massive fuss around the edited photo that Kate put out? And all the conspiracies around it?

Or maybe, that's just the furore they are hoping to create. Anything for attention.

how is it in the media if they havent released it to the media?

Lol. It's almost as if Xmas cards are sent to.people....

I think it’s a bit weird to be honest the whole thing is not festive in the slightest

This!

Well this thread has amused me as I wait for the gas engineer to arrive. Hope people are t this offended by my Christmas cards this year.. snowmen and candles and all that shit.

Because it's global, and not everyone is Christian, it s just a holiday season for family and goodwill.

Looks like a perfectly nice card, who gives a shit if it’s AI generated?

Guess what - that plump cheery Robin perched atop a branch in a snowy scene that loads of cards have - that ain’t real either!

It's hardly breaking news that many people photoshop images. You are really scraping the bottom of the barrel using that as a criticism of someone.

It probably be more newsworthy to say "Minor Celebrity/Royal releases an un-retouched image.'

They're absolutely obsessed.
I honestly don't think some of them are well.

Just had a look. Ridiculous. The need to boastfully portray themselves as wonderful people saving “poor unfortunates” makes me puke.
I wonder if their human public relations props gave consent and/or cash for the use of their images.

I didn’t say it wasn’t Christian. I said it wasn’t festive. Those are not the same things!

The "massive fuss" that was completely forgotten a couple of weeks later you mean? Because nobody actually cares if for long if it's photoshopped or not.

Seems pretty inoffensive. Sinister that they get more hate than Andrew who has actually done bad things.

Well, Catherine is the expert on photoshop, so I am sure that she could help you with your detective work here.

Very classy of you to comment on the appearance of a 3 year old. So, I agree with you - this post is very embarrassing.

They live in the US, where photo montage cards are completely normal. They usually have photos spanning the entire year, therefore the range of seasonal attire should come as no surprise.

I see a happy couple who are protecting their DCs’ identities (who have no Royal Security, so seems reasonable to me).

Big whoop. THIS CARD IS NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK ON YOU.

Love their card. How strange to start a post about this but there seems no end to the vitriol they must take at the hands of anonymous strangers .. even spilling over to their little ones now.

Very bitchy? Oh dear. What a sheltered life you lead. Were you clutching your pearls as you wrote that? 🤦‍♀️🙄

Look inward.

Yeah......absolute bastards wanting to protect their kids and not parade them in front of the masses.....maybe his brother should grow a backbone and try to do the same ? 🧐

Never seen such disinterested dogs when so much is going on.

As Sparklingbrook used to say " this won't end well"

I wonder what you would have thought of that video Catherine put out a few months ago* if it was exactly the same but with Megan and her family in it. I think you might have thought of it as cringey and embarrassing, wouldn't you? Actually you would probably be outraged by it. Just because it was Megan...

And as for saving poor unfortunates: in that video Catherine actually said these words "Remember, I am with you" which is an echo of Jesus' words "I am with you always...". Talk about making herself into some kind of saintly figure. Much as I empathise with anyone undergoing cancer treatment, that just made me want to throw up.

*the one she made after her first appearance after her cancer treatment.

I think it’s a bit weird to be honest the whole thing is not festive in the slightest

It does have feel of sales brochure - though how usual that as this is a corporate business card in US I don't know.

Though picture of their kids then makes less sense - though it has attracted media coverage partly because of it - at least seems that way in US headlines I saw on-line.

Maybe it's a round robin in picture form.

They can't win whatever they do. People would pick holes regardless.
The photo looks OK to me.
