Wales family Christmas card

[LycheeBaby]

cant work out what I think about this. They all look lovely, match, but it’s not very festive. Bit drab- colour would have been better.

I want the royal family to entertain us, the last lot had some proper EastEnders moments, this bunch are too Hollyoaks.

Thought exactly the same 😆

I think it's lovely

I don’t approve of the product placement either.

By product placement, do you mean the royal family?

Personally I was relieved to scroll to the bottom of the photo and find they were all wearing shoes. It has a bit of a barefoot vibe to it, I’m glad they didn’t go all the way. Not my favorite from them

Louis's left hand is weird,but they are certainly a photogenic lot!

I'm just amazed that they've managed to keep the wild kid still for the photo

😂😂

I think it's probably a reference to the 1992 one with just William and Harry, kids are the same age and there's a very similar vibe with b+w and the chair. It's saying, we are a happy family, in contrast to what William's life was like when he was 10.

There’s not really much you can say about a staged black and white photo with nothing in the background.

If it’s meant to represent the feeling in the world at the moment and say they’re feeling it, it’s even more contrived than usual. I’m not a royal fan or hater, but they’re a family with children, it’s Christmas, I think they’re allowed to be festive and look happy instead of this serious grey thing. I think it’s odd.

That's an interesting point. As though he's completely erased Harry - he has his own family now.

This is the one I mean, no Charles and Diana, who had separated that year.

The background reminds me of a school photo, the ones that do no justice to the subject.

That's an interesting point. As though he's completely erased Harry - he has his own family now.

I don't think Harry has anything to do with it, he's never been in their Christmas card photos. I think they are showing that they are a solid family, in contrast to William's childhood.

I don't think people are "exercised" - just giving a view on whether they like this year's card.

Some will, some wont.

Definitely got 1990s Calvin Klein advert vibes about it.

Boring and inoffensive, so quite a good reflection of them.

That's an interesting point. As though he's completely erased Harry - he has his own family now.

Or if he’s tried to recreate it, maybe its a positive thing towards Harry.

I quite like it. They're not Christmas cards really, they're more keepsake photos as a record of the family.

I don't think Harry is relevant at all - more William contrasting his children with himself looking a bit sad and lost at the same age. So smiley, happy, tactile parents vs no parents.

How wide is your ten year old!

😂😂

They all look lovely but I just don’t like the aesthetics for a Christmas card. It feels a bit sterile.

I love that Charlotte is centre stage, but agree too drab and not very festive.

Charlotte looks about three years older than George. She's only about 8 and looks about 13.
