Surely though Ted Ligety would question that?

MouldyCandy · 05/04/2026 11:59

I assumed the footage was filmed by the ski instructor - maybe to show progress, maybe to correct technique. The publication/release certainly feels forced/inorganic though.

And there are rumours starting that the boy is actually not Archie but the son of an Olympic skier called Ted Ligety.

ETA: I tried posting the relevant AI chat analysis but it didn't take.

Don’t bother @Rhaidimiddim, that was started by the Meghans mole too and her last statement has been disbunked .

I've just looked back, and I saw it posted by someone else (X name Rachelle) as a reply to a Meghans Mole post, but not posted by Meghan's Mole herself.

Yes I saw that but she based the question on the assumption that the mole post claiming that the picture was from the whistler trip was correct , I was taken in too until it was debunked, to be honest this is what happens when h and m are not truthful! 🤷‍♀️

jeffgoldblum · 05/04/2026 13:12

Of course @Rhaidimiddim, there is a possibility that it isn’t Archie and it’s Trudeaus son instead 🤷‍♀️

I'm a novice at this.

@jeffgoldblum except the picture came directly from eileen gu’s instagram, posted two days ago and captioned this week, the way people lie is insane.

Can someone explain the relevance of this pic? Is it AI? Is it suggesting the Archie skiing pic is fake or taken at another time and place?

I suppose it shows Harry was as a ski resort somewhere in the past week and spent sometime with Eileen Gu and Justin Trudeau.
So possibly the footage of Archie is very recent.

Pretty clear Meghan wasn't on the trip - otherwise she would have been in the photo with Eileen Gu, Katy Perry. Either that, or the photo with Harry, Gu & Trudeau was a literal "bumped into each other at the ski lift" moment.

I'm suspicious it's a typical H&M can't see green cheese at the recent news Lindsay Vonn has apparently offered to give the Wales children skiing lessons. "Look, look - we know Olympic ski champions too!"

Mylovelygreendress · 05/04/2026 14:39

The Wales children have been photographed today so I expect a photo of the backs of A and L’s heads anytime now.

That child is a very novice skier on a relatively flat green run.

For the height/age there’s no way that could be the son of an Olympic skier or a Trudeau. Those families will have had their kids on skis before they could walk.

I think they are in a lesson - the person videoing will be the instructor and Harry in front is plotting the path for Archie - which is how I’ve seen lessons run before.

BasiliskStare · 05/04/2026 15:38

Lovely @MrsFinkelstein . I am not quite sure why H&M can't differentiate between the POW and his heirs having curated photographs taken on specific occasions and they (H&M - who deo volente are not really constitutionally important ) giving out photographs on instagram or whatever to keep their brand going , but pretending they are keeping their children out of the public eye It' all getting a bit obvious IMHO. Also - I am not a skier but DH and I were watching the Winter Olympics & I am sure no-one would have to get a post out quickly before Lindsay Vonn was ready to be on the slopes. ( good luck to her BTW. )

No idea who those two on the ski slopes are actually.

I think H should think long and hard about the fact that he and his family are thought of as a commercial enterprise by many , not royal. Clinging on to royal adjacent. I'm irritated with their royal pretensions when they are taken seriously , but (reflects badly on me ) also amused by them when they are or are not .

Ach well 😂I take my laughs where I can get them

Bingo! Videos of the backs of A&L. It’s so predictable.

Spot on, wonder if they tell the kids they are posting these videos of them?

Mylovelygreendress · 06/04/2026 08:14

Video is mainly of Lilibet in bare feet and summer dress while the brief view of Archie shows him wearing long trousers and a jacket .

Papercompany · 06/04/2026 08:15

Just watched the videos....I didn't like the part where the camera follows the little girl through the grass. There are so many weirdos in the world - it's like they are teasing the world with these kids and someone might stalk them to see the kids. They would be better off with photos rather than videos maybe? If they really want to show the world what their kids do at Easter?

Just the usual then. Also zero interaction between the kids….as usual

Yep.

RecoIIectionsMayVary · 06/04/2026 08:28

It is odd that they are dressed so differently, as in for different temperatures.

Also hilarious that we are meant to believe that she was just collecting the eggs. It is all fake, chickens shit, the whole box is perfectly clean, as are the eggs.
People want to feel as if it is real, it is another example of how she hasn't moved on and kept up with other influencers.

RecoIIectionsMayVary · 06/04/2026 08:30

As for the pictures on As Ever, they are very poor. In fact my 2 minute AI one was better.

JSMill · 06/04/2026 08:40

I feel like M knows that people comment on how Lily and Archie dress so different, Lily’s bare feet and her messy hair and just keeps repeating it just to say she doesn’t care.

MrsLeonFarrell · 06/04/2026 08:52

I like the egg decorating thingy Archie is using.

My children seemed to have existed, and still do as adults, in different temperature zones regardless of the actual weather so i don't think there is much to read into how differently they are dressed.

MrsLeonFarrell · 06/04/2026 08:53

I actually think it gives royal children more privacy if they are mostly seen at specific royal events wearing on duty formal clothing. I bet in private they wear far more casual stuff but this helps them to separate duty and personal life.
