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!

I really hate it, I bet it took ages, many repeated takes, and the children being ordered to look joyous when they were thoroughly fed up. It just screams "forced and fake" to me. The children would probably have rather been playing in the sand

I think you should complain in writing to KP!!! It screams of having fun though to me! Does jumping in the sand dunes exclude them from playing in the sand?

I love how both photos show how the family have been able to be out enjoying life at what must still be a trying time for them with Kate and the King's illnesses. I can't stand these petty, mean-spirited posts. Prime example of where, if you have nothing nice to say, you should stay silent.

Yes, some people like happy family pictures.
Shock!

Not only content with announcing departures but are now declaring themselves to be plebs.

Oh my god! You terrible parent! Just like millions of others, taking lovely pictures of happy children!
They should all be taken into care. Their parents sent to a labour camp

I am sure you have lots of lovely family snaps, and I am sure none of them look like this

WatchOutMissMarpleIsAbout · 21/06/2024 19:11

Well I like the photo. So shoot me. A lot of jealousy on this thread.

Genuine answer:
Because they're not as long.

High five!!

My kids used to love jumping off walls. Seriously. I have so many snaps of them jumping around and laughing. So many happy memories.
How awful people just don't like that sort of thing.
But hey.

In a nutshell. Not everyone has a loving and happy family, but even those who don't, generally don't begrudge happy parents and children.

lovely family pic. She is a talented photographer

because I think it is so unfair that these children have to spend their time doing multiple shoots to produce media worthy photos, rather than just being themselves, and doing their own thing, and all worship of them is unhealthy, and damaging to them.

The children in the commercial picture would have applied for modelling work, and been paid for their time. The children in the "royal" picture probably had no choice at all, that was going to be how they spent their afternoon, whether they wanted to or not.

Its not an acceptable way to treat children, imo

Oh my actual god, how long did it take you to think that up??? Why can't you just accept it as a simple photo? Don't bloody look at it any more if that's your attitude!!! Taking a photo of your kids is "not an acceptable way to treat children"??? Well fuck me pink and call me rosey, I better report myself to the NSPCC!!

headstone · 21/06/2024 19:19

So unless you think the photo is amazing you are jealous and hate happy families? Even giving the photo 8 out if of 10 is not acceptable. It has to be 10 out of 10 or you are jealous and hate our dear princess.

Hate is a very strong reaction to a photo of 3 children with their Dad .

Go and take a lie down in a darkened room with a cold flannel, your extreme reaction to a harmless photo is not healthy.

IsoldeWagner · 21/06/2024 19:20

No. No-one said amazing.

"not an acceptable way to treat children" 😂
Imagine having fun in the dunes and on a beach with a loving family!
The horror! 😃😂

Reminds me of when DC3 once complained about being taken to Disneyland and said they'd have to ring Childline...!!!

Why mark it out of 10 in the first place? It's not fucking homework! Three children under the age of 11? That's what's hateful here, attitudes like this!

I have to say that if I felt the need to be so bile filled and spiteful about a picture of three children and their father, I'd assume I was the one with the problem. And if they upset me so much I'd not be on somewhere where I have to keep looking at that picture, so I wonder what is going on here.

The word "hate" had been used.
Strange to hate a photo like this.

This level of bile is deeply concerning, and so far from normal.

headstone · 21/06/2024 19:28

II presume the marking of the photo wasn’t marking the actual children, just the composition. I would also give an opinion on a Meghan publicly issued photo as well. If I thinks it’s good I will say so.

I wouldn't have thanked my parents for taking me to Disneyland. I wouldn't have gone so far as to threaten to phone whatever the equivalent of Childline was in my young day, but I'd certainly not have been happy about it. Not everyone likes Disney cartoons, rides, artificial environments, crowds etc. I always preferred the type of holiday that involved going somewhere quiet and peaceful. Fortunately, my parents were of the same mind as me, for once.

If you think it's bad? You'd regard it as cruelty to Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet?
