Prince William birthday - new photo

[PrettyFlyforaMaiTai]

Kensington Palace have released a new photo of William and the children to mark his 42nd birthday. The photo was taken by Catherine.

Honestly I think this is one of my favourite photos of the family!

Let's see who twists themselves into knots trying to turn this photo into something horrible

ps Charlotte is the double of the late Queen!

She's looking more like her all the time.
Oh yes, there will definitely be some unpleasant contortions.

@MrsLeonFarrell Did Costner get involved in that?!

Not that I'm aware of, he did do that charity thing with the Sussexes. I was making a more general point that the social media backlash against people like Blake Lively may have caused other celebrities to be more publishing supportive of the Royal family at the moment. Most celebrities are really only about their own profile so sensitive to being seen as in the wrong.

Yes, I think many people realised they overstepped the mark. Not nice to be so rude and offensive about an ill woman.
Who would never bite back.

Oh got it and agreed.

The pictures with Taylor and going to make the SS and the commanders in chief self combust! Wonder what H&M think, plates will be smashing in Montecito! Photos with Taylor and a personal message to William! it doesn’t get any better than that!

Yes waiting for the critique from the prevalent negative posters on this thread, or will it be tumble weed?………I suspect the latter.

Charlotte is going to be the envy of her classmates on Monday morning!

Didn’t Costner return his jar of jam ?

I hadn't seen anything about that. But I'm not on X

Not sure where I read it but apparently Adele also returned her jam .
Of course it could be nonsense but I definitely read about it .

I think that is one of the pitfalls of seeking publicity on social media, it's easy to get promotions but it's also easy for rumours to spread that people aren't being supportive because we won't ever know who has jam and who didn't. She didn't get many posts for 50 jars that I saw. There is such a lack of forward motion with ARO that rumours are all that people have to talk about.

These last few days have been a tour de force for the Wales's. I'm hoping that things are looking properly brighter for Charles and Kate and that has lead to them being able to "breathe out" a bit, let their hair down and relax publically.

I think also jam and dog biscuits are just so basic. It's all a bit dull and trad wife.
If Meghan wants to be a trad wife with the jam, the expensive clothes and clutching a rich, privileged husband, that's her choice. It's just not very interesting. Not much effort required.

I spotted one on TwiX; apparently only Taylor's (and Travis' in the other pic) smile is genuine, the others are all forced 🤦🏻‍♀️

Give it another hour or so and it'll definitely be 'fake', AI, photoshopped or some other ridiculousness.

😂

although I admit to wondering about who would win if it comes to Social merits clash between SS and the swifties!

Literally zero contest.

SS posts get barely 500 likes/comments. They are a very small 'squad'. Seems to be a handful of prolific members who post obsessively.

By contrast the FD, birthday and TS pic have all breached 1.5 million likes on PoW Instagram. Taylor's has reached over 5.6 million already (in three hours 😳).

I hadn't realised SS get so few likes. I'm sure it was more when I was on twitter and they appeared in my feed. Mind you the general tone of the SS output would deter anyone.

@MrsLeonFarrell

I suspect it used to be higher. I had to go trawling. Some of the stuff written is unreal.

It really is. Mind you, when I was on twitter, I have also seen rubbish claiming Meghan was never pregnant which is equally bizarre. It isn't just SS it seems to bring out the crazy in a lot of people.

I certainly know bullshit when I see it.

Probably - I just prefer that version to the alternative. I'm not good with extreme heat lol!

So they chose to share a holiday photo? WTAF is wrong with that?!!

Such hate-filled posts!!!
