Archie’s heel is very oddly shaped. Has he got flat feet?

Looks like flat feet to me

MrsLeonFarrell · 22/06/2026 07:45

Probably. It would have made more sense to simply be in the window though. The shushing was odd.

Shows she's the boss . That's the point. These Royal children will be quiet when I say so.

Poor lad, this is what happens when you use your children for self promotion, and produce awkward imagery.

Apparently the kids clothing is Zara and she’s put the links on her shopping page, according to X. She is merching her children now, as we all predicted a long time ago. She has no shame. She must also have no money.

Good God. Why am I aghast at this? I ought to know by now.

Exactly, I don’t like myself for speculating but ffs don’t post this shit Meghan

ReallyReilly · 22/06/2026 09:46

I honestly think and have always done that a lot of the purpose of these photos is to upset Charles. Look at your 'one and only ' son with the grandchildren I have kept from you because you didn't give us what we want . You won't see their faces unless you give us money. Also 'we won't go away you know, we'll continue to embarrass you until you give us what we want.' They are like a ransom and I think Charles knows that.

SqueakyDinosaur · 22/06/2026 10:00

I am fascinated by how W&C manage to get the little Waleses to behave so well. I mean, I think we've seen one tantrum each from G and C when toddlers plus a couple of other grumps, and Louis, although apparently more rambunctious, doesn't seem to be out of control in public. And yet, from what we see, they appear to be normal children and to have the freedom to behave in a far less formal way in private (jumping on the sand dunes, playing cricket, cycling, etc). I do realise that those images that we see are heavily curated, and I'm sure it's not all plain sailing, but I am intrigued by how it's managed. C must take a great deal of credit for having taught W to parent effectively, because he sure didn't get it from his own upbringing.

Reminds me of when Charles upset them once (was it taking back Frogmore?) and Meghan posted a photo of Harry with the children, walking away from the camera 🙄

A lot of that must be down to the nanny and their schools too.

ShamedBySiri · 22/06/2026 09:27

Meant to post the full picture.

I think this looks awkward because it's trying to show Harry's face and hide the children's. A more natural photo would have Harry looking at Lili as she is looking at him.

OctopusFriend · 22/06/2026 07:42

It was quite obvious that she wanted to be in a photograph. It was posed.

Look at me. I'm new here but just what they need to be whipped into shape. 🙄

Nice of Meghan to use a pair of her trousers as a backdrop.

But she wouldn’t be paid for that .

she won't be paid but it will give her some PR

Sitting watching MasterChef Australia and wondering when Meghan's episode will air.

Quite
Their royal adjacency is what got them the big ticket deals. Not , in my view , their innate talents. & that stardust has somewhat worn off now. H may be a wee bit different in that the money , feeling useful , patronages came to him easily, and now as not a member of the WRF , whatever he says , they don't. & I suspect he is starting to feel that the big wide world is not quite as cosy or simple as he was used to.

But none of her PR is translating it to cash for her. If anything it’s just building this brand of ridicule. The Ratner Royals.

Every photo drop, speaking engagement, media speculation about ther makes serious $$$$ for her enemies - the nasty press. They are lining their pockets and laughing all the way to the bank. She however is just being laughed at and her brand eroded so much that it has zero value and I can’t see why any member of the public would aspire to be connected to her or her UPF and tat or for any other brand to want to collab with her toxic brand.

None of this negative PR that she dishes out daily is making her a cent. It just provides schadenfreude entertainment to many and clicks and cash for the tabloids.

It was an attempt to push to the front and sharp elbow the young children out of the view so she could get her gurning face in the media. She can’t help herself - moth to the flame, will stand on anyone’s neck to get ahead / infront.

I think that was when Haz lost one of his endless court cases regarding his security yet again. He was lashing out at his his father and the Palace by suggesting he and his kids are never coming back!

Yes that's what it was. Ridiculous nonsense

Why would Harry look at anyone else when "heart-attack beautiful" Meghan is visible?

Spot on, @abigailll, but she clearly doesn't have anything worthwhile to post and without this she'd disappear completely

And somehow I can't see that suiting ...

Thedom · 22/06/2026 12:47

I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a single full face photo of them in the UK released /allowed, that will be the springboard to sell a full family spread to the highest bidder, and therein the kids will be launched full frontal for all her upcoming projects, I think she will always keep their faces exclusive, probably mixing her current modus operandi with a few strategic full on photos whenever she deems there is a business need.

Or maybe she'll just threaten KC with it in the hope of $$$$$

It’ll probably cause a bit of a flurry initially, but is anyone really interested in these kids on an ongoing basis?
Will they really sell more jam if they can post the kids with jam smeared faces?

Thedom · 22/06/2026 12:53

I don’t think there will be photos allowed for public release with any of the senior RF members, but a family spread with little snippets of their trip to Harry’s home country and how much the kids ‘loved it’ , private photos of the kids playing in some strategic area, etc. etc. that will bring in a few bucks for them.
