The photo is from 2015, Acc to X and this is the original. Someone (Meghan?) has altered it and made it look so much worse!

I think it has been tweaked to look like Zoolander. I think it is meant to be funny (and perhaps, if they have an “in” joke, it is).

Most people do, because it's a tribute to a loved one. This, however....

This is Harry's birthday greetings to Meghan back in the Sussex Royal days of yore. A flattering, recent photo and a personal, affectionate message. Just as you'd expect from a husband to a wife.

This bizarre picture and juvenile 'birthday boy' message are just weird.

Guys, regarding the picture - I think it’s so off the wall it has to be joke. A bit like a baby lying on a rug with its bars bottom in the air being posted on their 18th birthday if shown to a girlfriend years later.

Oh, it's a joke alright.

At Harry's expense.

Indeed - she looks absolutely gorgeous there, and it's a sweet message.

It’s like the twerking video, no one could believe she posted it, so it drove traffic to her Insta to see for themselves and gaze in horror. I think this is the same effort, he is butt ugly in it, but he did have hair, I guess she never knew him when he didn’t have a friar tuck hairstyle.

Yes she thinks posting the picture was cool and trendy and the comment you make about her Insta page is what I said - the picture is all about her being ballsy enough to post it, people scuttle off to have a look and hey presto her numbers are up for a wee while.

Oh he’s one of those..changing the narrative, manipulative liars. I get you Harry 😉

Zoolander tribute? Mmm. Quite a reach.

His problem is he just doesn’t think before he speaks, the lasting comments I heard in this entire thing is that he has to focus on his dad for the coming year. He is basically insinuating that he is unlikely to be around longer than that isn’t he - or if that is not his intention then he should have chosen his words far more carefully. My family are important to me and being so far away, my focus is to be able to spend as much time here with them as possible. Why the time frame. I would be furious if I was Charles and the other immediate family as it draws unwanted speculation.

I must admit I didn’t read his comment that way. It sounded to me as though he might be making his father the excuse for more visits to the UK while he tries to raise his profile and popularity rating. For making the next year all about his “dad”, read “haven’t got much on and need the media coverage”.

More on the historical illegality of Markle, a mix raced person, existing in the white settler entity america.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interracial_marriage

The first anti-miscegenation law was passed by the Maryland General Assembly in 1691, criminalizing interracial marriage. A belief in racial purity and white supremacy were among the reasons for such laws, with Abraham Lincoln stating in an 1858 speech:

"I am not, nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people. I as much as any man am in favor of the superior position assigned to the white race."

Although the ban on interracial marraige ended in California in 1948, entertainer Sammy Davis Jr. faced a backlash for his involvement with a White woman in 1957. In 1963, when asked by a reporter if interracial marriage would become widespread in america, Harry S. Truman responded, "I hope not; I don't believe in it. Would you want your daughter to marry a Negro? She won't love someone who isn't her color."

Interracial marriage only became legal nationwide in america in 1967. Markle was born just 14 years later.

Has she stretched his head or something? It looks huge! She clearly dislikes the fact her husband is going bald hence not posting a recent picture and it’s beyond weird she would post a photo of him before they had even met.

So is Trump and lets not forget who his dad was the head of.

Trump white? Don’t be ridiculous. He’s more orange than a traffic cone.

I know! If my partner posted such an unflattering photo on my birthday I'd be pissed off with them! It's also ancient, from years before she met him.

But clearly she's looking to play up his military background.

It's an interesting image but there might be method in the context - we all know today is Battle of Britain Day.....don't we...?

Tasteful as the Duchess of Kent is taken to the chapel of rest ahead of her funeral tomorrow - what 40 year+ family member would do that?

Whereas interracial marriages have never been illegal in the UK!

Thanks for all those facts, @ChessorBuckaroo . Even though I knew of the struggle for Civil Rights, those facts are shocking. Native Americans didn't regain the right to many cultural and spiritual practices until the Nixon era.
Such entrenched racism.

It was a picture from before they even met. He was still with Cressida when this picture was taken. Beyond weird that she chose this unflattering picture.

Edited

But he's such a fox! 🦊

MaturingCheeseball · 15/09/2025 18:25

Meghan would have killed him if he’d posted a fugly picture of her. You just don’t do that! The subject of the photo is never amused ! They might ha ha join in the joke but inwardly would be tres cheesed off.

I believe she (the Duchess) was at their wedding. But then I don't think M knew who most of the people at her wedding were, even the ones she'd invited herself.

The Duke and Duchess of Kent have always conducted themselves with dignity, offering quiet support in the background to the sovereign (the Duke), and retiring from royal life without fuss (the Duchess). H&M could learn a thing or two from their example.

She didn’t know who Prince Andrew was apparently…….thought he was the Queen’s assistant or something, despite being firm friends with Princess Eugenie so I doubt the Duchess of Kent was on her radar
