Awful card

[Jostuki]

Happy holiday season. 🙄

How many are in their " office" ?

One thing I find strange is how Lillibet is dressed. It seems very British, especially the knee length socks.
Oh you haven’t been to the American south, girls are dressed in smocked dresses , tights , knee length socks , Mary Janes. It’s as southern as it can be , in Spain too, so not really a British thing that doesn’t exist anywhere else.

harry looks like he is missing most of his teeth, I can’t unsee it , quite funny the longer you look.

I'd just like to see how the reported private card to 'friends and family' compares☕

It probably says Merry Christmas and shows close up photos of the kids, just to spite the people of rhe world. 😂

I wonder why Harry didn't include the picture of him in his nazi uniform or the one of him high on mushrooms, or a dick pic from his days shagging like a horse in a field.

Oh that's right ... he's trying to craft his image and get us all to think he's someone he's not.

I hate all this fakeness and all this cringe 'look at me aren't i the saviour/God/Martyr/philanthropist?' stuff 🤢

Why do they need to send a photo card out anyway? I get it's a royal tradition, but they've given a massive proverbial middle finger to the royal family and the UK, so what's the point of continuing this tradition when they r no longer royal?

I do wish they'd f off. Wouldn't it be refreshing if they just bought a multi pack of Christmas cards from Tesco! I might actually start warming to them!!

And I hope they got consent before including pictures of randoms (the man in the bed and the girl hugging Megan) on their widely distributed card. (Why have they got photos of strangers on their card anyway?)

Bah humbug

What a beautiful card from a lovely family! ❤️

Interested in how they're a lovely family?

Love the fact that the kids are read headed.
Diana’s genes are strong
Really love the card

Diana's natural hair colour was dark blonde

Red headed genes are recessive - you need to get one from each parent. So Thomas Markle’s genes are just as strong. Funny, no-one mentions that.

@MinSpy brilliant 😂! I would just love to see a card like that 😁 - a bit of authenticity!

Why are people so triggered by a bloody card ?
It was a lovely card and the Sussexes appear to be happy and settled.
Love the fact that both kids have red hair

“Appear to be happy and settled” when in reality it’s all going to pot for them

Love the fact that both kids have red hair

And they have developed red hair as they have got older, too. I don’t know how common that is (my red-headed children were very obvious gingers from birth) but both Lilibet and Archie’s hair colours have developed a bit since they appeared in the Netflix documentary.

The children have four grandparents. Why are the others less important than Diana? Why do people particularly lionise “Diana’s genes”? Even if you are not a fan of the other members of her family it’s a bit crass to dismiss their genetic contribution to a child. Especially as it isn’t really possible to say which genes have had the greatest influence without doing a DNA analysis. The recessive genes could have come from anyone of them

Red hair is recessive, therefore you need to have the gene from both side of the family to inherit it. So Charles has the red hair gene and Thomas Markle has the red hair gene too. In fact, Thomas Markle Jr is a red head and it looks like Samantha might have be naturally auburn/had a red tint to her hair.

Anyway, I always thought that in the few photos we have the children they looked remarkably like Thomas Markle (especially Archie). Certain sections of the their fans don’t seem to like being told that though for some reason.

It's a very curious thing, isn't it?
There was another thread where people spoke about The Cult of St Diana, and I think there's some truth to that. She has been elevated by many to a very high status. Almost mythical.

It's a weird layout for an official Corporate card. The font, picture layout, wording - but whatever.

I've never been on the receiving end of a "corporate" card so have no idea how these things should look (do ones from Charities count? I get them because I have donated/supported).

'From The Office of' is ridiculously pretentious, but H&M have never not been. It's also old-fashioned and traditional AF, but neither H&M are in anyway modern.

IMO, they shouldn't have put in the photo of the children. It was inappropriate on a Corporate card. You either don't allow public images of your children or you do. Stop with the half arsing it. It's the one thing I agreed with them and support them on.

If you do then release images of your children then you cannot complain if people talk about them. And if you release an out of focus, obviously photoshopped image then it will attract comments that point that out.

Doing this isn't protecting them, it's doing the opposite.

But it's just the issue with H&M - they have no focus and "brand image". They can't decided if their brand is philanthropy, showbiz, business or family. So they've chucked in everything. Messy.

children look happy and loved and looking at both parents it’s impossible to think the children won’t look cute .

But then , Are their fans really this happy the children skipped Meghan’s genes ? and purely resemble a white English aristocratic woman ?

this just points to so many contradictory things ,
I really don’t want to go down that road but I thinks it’s obvious to everyone.

Why are you celebrating Meghan's African-American/Nigerian genes being suppressed? I would love it if they looked like Doria, who is actually present in their lives. I wonder if she is constantly fed up with being ignored in favour of a long dead woman who never knew her grandchildren.

Edit SPAG

Odd, isn't it?

Why all the fawning over red hair? Why the obsessive focus on one quarter of the children's genetic inheritance?

The extremely English aristocratic family?

What happened to celebrating Meghan's biracial identity? Is that all a bit last decade?

I've had the pleasure of knowing several black labs, and this is the first time I've seen one turn away with indifference while it's family has some sort of fun and happiness going on. Normally they're all over that.
Anyone else know any kind of dog that turns away to give their family privacy during what looks like an emotional reunion? They really are an enigma, including their dogs.

Did any of the black labs you knew have the Readybreak glow around them and powers of levitation this one has?

Well, it has had its back legs mucked about with some, so probably doesn't want to move in case it falls over.

😆Amazing dogs, but tbh no, I've never seen one actually levitate. I hadn't looked at any of the images closely, so I've just zoomed in to the one with the dogs and it's just completely 'off'. So many things are weird about it, that I can't help but wonder if it's deliberate.
