I thought the boys are definitely Middleton but Charlotte is definitely a mini William. None of my kids look like me not a bad thing my boys are like their Dad although I see my Dad in my eldest son, but quite who my DD looks like is a mystery!

INeedtobealone · 10/12/2021 16:29

I think Louis looks a lot like Charlotte. He's a mix of both his siblings.

Kates hair looks amazing.

KillingMeDeftly · 10/12/2021 16:50

George looks like Kate's dad more and more with the passing of time. Charlotte is a lot like William and I think Louis looks like pictures I've seen of Edward as a child. Will he grow up with a penchant for double-breasted suits?

Maireas · 10/12/2021 17:04

The Monaco twins look sweet. I'm sure they've got nannies and loving relatives etc, but it's a shame their Mum can't be there.
Lovely picture of the Cambridges. Very relaxed!

I have to say that I really do not like the Cambridge card.

It might have been better if their clothes had been more colourful against the rock background, but mainly I dislike how Will's knees, thighs and crotch dominate the centre of the field.

As a group photo it's poor, with George too far out, and no one touching Louis.

gluenotsoup · 10/12/2021 17:26

I do know what you mean about the composition of the photo, but I do like it. They all look relaxed and easy, Kate’s hair and dress look great. I think Louis is pure Middleton, George is mostly William, and Charlotte is his double. Considering Wills looks like his mum she is going to grow up to be a beauty.
I like William actually. He’s ageing well now, he seems to have grown into himself a bit and is really quite attractive 😳😂. Looks like he has been keeping toned too 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's a nice photo of the Cambridges - but it's not very Christmassy, is it.

Why couldn't they have published that photo over the summer, and then had a more wintery photo for their Christmas card.

I do wish they'd do maybe bi-annual family photos, like most of the European royals seem to do!

KillingMeDeftly · 10/12/2021 18:18

@RockaLock I think the photo was only taken in October, when they were spotted at Heathrow during the half-term break.

It's funny how different people see different likenesses in people:
I think
*George looks the spit of Edward VIII
*Charlotte looks very like the Queen
*Louis looks like Michael Middleton.

KillingMeDeftly · 10/12/2021 19:56

In other royal news, CPV looks like a very glamorous widow at the Nobels but isn't it usually a gown and tiara event?

Letizia has made an interesting boot choice, and Empress Masako turned 58 but you could've told me she was 38 and I'd have believed you!

Ah. I've seen Leti in those boots before, and the skirt. I really like red, but am not sure about the combo.
Why no tiara, CPV? Why?Confused

Is tiaras tomorrow?

KillingMeDeftly · 10/12/2021 20:16

Letizia's skirt is similar to one I had from Etam about 15 years ago!

Yes it’s quite the buffet de manspread isn’t it
HeyGirlHeyBoy · 10/12/2021 20:31

Agree about the composition but really like Kate's dress.

Glad I'm not the only one LadyEloise1 Grin We shall see..

KillingMeDeftly · 10/12/2021 20:32

Glad I'm not the only one who thought "crotchtacular" when I saw that photo!

Maireas · 10/12/2021 21:12

Yes, William is definitely manspreading. Why he's on a golden ball is anyone's guess. Kate is a better photographer than whoever this is.

“So, your Royal Highness, if you could just er…mount this giant golden ball. Thank you Sir”

Oh Cliffs GrinGrinGrin

Eaumyword · 10/12/2021 22:11

Oh dear - I hadn't noticed William was hatching a golden egg, now I can't unsee it Grin
I like Leti's outfit, including boots!

gluenotsoup · 10/12/2021 22:18

😳😂😂 all I can see now is the golden egg. Hope it’s a Faberge one 🤦🏻‍♀️

StartupRepair · 10/12/2021 22:20

The Jordan setting is completely weird! A rock cave with a golden ball, fur rug. Is Kate sitting on a rock?

I agree.
RomainingCalm · 10/12/2021 23:07

Very different to normal but I do like the card that C&C have released.

Yes I love the CC card.
