Photoshoot for the Sussex Children?

I actually hope this isn't true. It's one thing I've always admired of the Sussexes, that they have (generally) protected their children's privacy very effectively.

I hope its not related to the new commercial venture.

That's why it was "killed". Because it didn't actually represent news. Syndicating it was the issue. Which was a PR mistake.

It was killed. A bit like Trotsky.

Hopefully those responsible woke up the next day and got a pep talk about how self-reflection was not necessary.

AliceOlive · 24/03/2024 15:03

Def samesies.

A "mistake" explained and apologised for by the KP principal, Catherine. While she was trying to enjoy Mother's Day with her kids who were yet to be told she has cancer, and while she was still recovering from major surgery. AP and all the "PR fail" bores must be very proud of themselves.

I'd rather not think about Donald Trumps little rocket man either

Was he the one that got killed with an axe? Did he hang out with Frieda Khalo?

We are joking around but this really makes me sick.

I think it's exactly the same as Stalin removing Trotsky from photographs. It's just like being in the old Soviet Union.

😂

Do you think that anyone in the 'real' photo was put in later or removed? That the photo session didn't happen?

Or there were several similar photos of a photo session of Kate and the three children, which were put together to make a 'best' image, as in the recent Google Pixel 8 marketing campaign?

In a tense situation, e.g. Gaza or Ukraine, a slight change in e.g. the position of a hand can change the impression created significantly - maybe from looking like surrendering to looking as if reaching for a gun.

That's why news organisations have such strict rules.

It is s bit bizarre to hold a family snap to the same standard.

Yes, but not for long! Stalin had him removed from photos and all documentation about the revolution. (which some folks want here, btw)
Then - massive ice pick to the skull.
So: in summation - you start to change photos, you end up as a psychotic dictator responsible for the murders of millions.
Don't say you weren't warned.

@LadyChatterjee that both brilliant and deeply creepy 😂

Blimey. Arrest everyone with a Google Pixel 8, we know what they are planning 😂

@LadyChatterjee Kimmy looks like a babe in that photo. I'm sure the Kardashians would love to have him flogging their knickers range in North Korea for them.

@LadyChatterjee I see you got the memo on the wide legged pantsuits!

The point of the Mother's Day picture is not that it was photoshopped. It is that it was syndicated to the picture agencies, images have to be "a snapshot in time."
If it had been on their Instagram feed then there would have been no problem. The fact that it was presented as news was a problem. I assume that must have been a PR people's mistake.

Nobody here cares about the mother's day photo!
It's only being mentioned because a poster was comparing it to piers Morgan publishing a fake photo of Iraq soldiers being tortured by English soldiers!!!
Which is clearly absolutely bizarre and completely different!

Nothing to do with this thread !
Clearly derailing!

Obviously to hide his teeny tiny legs!!🤣
