Kensington Palace have released a photo of the Princess of Wales photographed by her youngest son, Prince Louis. It is to mark World Cancer Day, which is tomorrow.

How cute!

Amazing. I can't wait for him to be king and rule over me.

nice photo.

It's a bit Christ the Redeemer Blush

You’ll have a long wait, considering he has two older siblings.

Photo’s fine, but not sure it’s of great public interest, one for the family album I would have said.

Yeah, I don't like it.

That Prince Louis took it is cute, but it doesn't make it a good picture!

Well, no. But he is only 6.

He is 6 years old to be fair, it was never going to be a great photo 🤣

I think maybe @IcedPurple meant not a good picture an adult should have chosen to put on the official Instagram page on World Cancer Day. Coming back to it, it's really quite something. I well know the feeling the vanquishing ill health. But this public display of triumph is a bit 😬, especially when many can't and don't. A bit of circumspection wouldn't go amiss.

Sure. For a child his age it's a really well taken photo. But I just don't think it's an interesting or significant enough photograph for a member of the royal family to make public.

All getting a bit beckham, isn't it.
maybe he'll bring out a cookery show next

NerrSnerr · 03/02/2025 16:59

@IcedPurple I'm sure they'll know to run it past you next time.

NerrSnerr · 03/02/2025 16:59

What's that meant to mean?

They chose to make this photo public, therefore that choice is a valid topic for public discussion.

Mightymoog · 03/02/2025 17:00

Also, why do they think anyone wants to see a photo their kid took?
Really annoys me that as a country we are such sycophants that this has made it into the public domain at all.
WTF has it got to do with cancer day apart from a bit more self publicising.
Bore off, the lot of them

It’s interesting to see the Wales’ photo strategy. They have a few trusted photographers that they use, or take them themselves, and can then release ‘exclusives’. By releasing several across the year, they manage their image and reduce the value of and demand for paparazzi pics. It also means that their children never have to go through those 80’s-style photo calls where the press are all shouting and clicking away.
It’s a strategy developed by the Swedish RF and seems to be working well.

shouldn't put oit out there if they don't want people to slag it off

NerrSnerr · 03/02/2025 17:02

@IcedPurple my point was that they clearly thought it was interesting or significant enough to make public but you stated that you knew better.

Couldn’t have put it better myself. The self-promotion video was bad enough. Does Kate think people will lap this up too?

why do they think it's significant or interesting apart from the fact they have egos the size of planets.

I never 'stated' anything. I simply offered my opinion on a photo which has been made available to the public.

It's a discussion forum. People discuss things.

GreenClock · 03/02/2025 17:05

I’m a republican but I quite like it. I think it’s captured a happy, triumphant moment really well. 🤷‍♀️

NerrSnerr · 03/02/2025 17:06

@Mightymoog I don't know but it's their photo to share and that's what they chose to do.

What's Brooklyn Beckham's excuse? It's a better photo than any of his 😆
