Awful card

[Jostuki]

Happy holiday season. 🙄

Oh god I love that one - where it looks as though Cherie is holding him back and saying "leave it, it ain't worth it babe!"

Clearly photoshopped. There's clearly something wrong with Meghan's leg and their daughter's left foot. Also, the children are almost the same height.

I’m curious if the media and social media are going to go crazy because they photoshopped their cart.

They would be criticised whatever they had done / not done

I'm not sure that is the case as I'm not a Royal fan so not taking sides. I don't like the card, not exactly sure why, perhaps because they are trying to cultivate an image through the photos, it just doesn't feel authentic, which is what they constantly say they are.

Meghan’s and Lili’s left foot look really odd compared to the rest of their bodies. I really feel this could be a photoshopped or doctored photograph.

Firstly, the girl in that picture clearly isn't the same height as the boy. Secondly, I don't follow this stuff so what mad conspiracy theory is this? Do you believe they aren't their children and they stole two children (of suspiciously similar heights) instead? To what end would they have done that?

And made sure they would grow to have very similar hair colours.

Or maybe it’s dyed…

Yes I thought they weren’t using their titles anymore! Personally I’d rather it was just picture of their dogs 😂.

This thread is so much more embarrassing.

No, they always use their titles. Being royal is their USP.

Surely?

Even more embarrassing than you posting on said embarrassing thread? 😳

If it's corporate, don't feature the children.
If they're promoting their work, one image would do, preferably without someone in a bed.
As pp said, it just doesn't seem authentic, and that's not just the Photoshop, which everyone uses.

We haven't had a PoW card yet have we?

It's so weird. If you don't want to show your kids then don't. But who has that many different pictures, none of which are Christmas related? They're all just saying 'aren't we caring, aren't we inclusive, don't we care about the sick and the poor and other cultures, aren't we subtle and private'. Lol.

I hate to say this, but WTF was Harry talking about when he was going on about how long Lilibets hair was??? thick and soon able to sit on it, the photo dispels that myth !

Gosh I do a photo card every year and I can come up with pics 20 times better than those! The amount of times they are snapped by their own people you'd think they'd have better choice. Archewell gets prominent billing.

So what though?

Do private citizens normally release cards 'on behalf of the office of the Duke and Duchess'?

Yup

Yes, I really dislike all these 'here are my children but you are not allowed to see their faces' photos. If you don't want to show your kids' faces, fine. Don't show them at all then. Nobody really cares. And isn't it supposed to be about their 'work'? 'On behalf of the office of the Duke and Duchess'? So why include family photos at all?

I thought Lilibet could sit on her hair ??

The photos look like the 'leftovers' from someone who didn't have many to pick from.

Perhaps this was the intern's job and these were the only snaps on their roll.

It's so odd to have random lanyard guy in the third pic. Unless he is the intern and he did it for his mum. Or a dare.

I don't think it's any worse than any of the cards that have personal photos on. All the royals, politicians etc. They all look naff and narcissistic. This fits fine into that tradition.

It drives me bananas, I don't know how she can be okay with calling herself the Duchess of Sussex when she hasn't set foot in England in years!

I'm sure the kind of people who'll receive this abomination will think it's very tasteful. Personally, I'm looking forward to H. eventually moving back to the UK with the kids.
