I am probably reading too much into the photos but there were a lot of comments about her not joining A and L in the pool or sea on holiday and wondering if she could swim so this is her response .

BigWillyLittleTodger · 04/08/2026 18:15

She really is the mistress of her own demise, the meme generators will be in overdrive, she’s a lost cause.

Erm that’s not diving, that’s jumping.

Jumping into an empty pool with a bunch of balloons with no one around but the photographer isn't really the message she thinks it is. Not on a birthday, that's for sure.

Hasn’t she just! Hopefully KC takes heed, I didn’t realise there had been a response from the Palace

I was heartened that Buckingham Palace's official response to Harry's invitation was: 'The King would welcome the opportunity to see his grandchildren again.'

And these photos still don't actually show her in the water!

BigWillyLittleTodger · 04/08/2026 18:33

Does this?

Is that a clap back from the palace ?? Very unusual

corblimeymlud · 04/08/2026 18:37

I love how her arm is still sticking out of the water in the second photo like a weird lady of the lake 😂😂😂

Could be anyone's arm. I don't believe a single thing they put out there.

AliasGracie · 04/08/2026 18:45

BigWillyLittleTodger · 04/08/2026 18:33

Yes, thank you.

corblimeymlud · 04/08/2026 18:48

AI seems to think balloons are added later.

StaySpicy · 04/08/2026 18:48

Well.

I don't like the photo of her in the striped shirt and white trousers. She looks like she's half asleep.

I dislike helium balloons with a passion. They're are better uses for the limited supply of helium than some bits of rubber that'll last a week at the most. But I suppose that's not limited to MM, it's lots of people.

I don't like the photo of the candle, spreads and champagne bottle. The curtain thing obscures the top of the bottle and it looks odd, as do the spread jars stacked on a cake stand.

But, I suppose it's As Ever.

Ah. The Lady of the Lake gambit.

King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king.
Dennis: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Arthur: Be quiet!
Dennis: You can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just ’cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
Arthur: Shut up!
Dennis: I mean, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!
Arthur: [grabs Dennis] Shut up! Will you shut up?!
Dennis: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system!
Arthur: [shakes Dennis] Shut up!
Dennis: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help, I’m being repressed!

Happy days Grin

It's all so contrived, just like everything they do.

Starryfifty · 04/08/2026 18:53

The trousers are awful and she looks half cut

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · 04/08/2026 19:06

No sense whatsoever. A far nicer birthday photo would have been the one where she and Harry are laughing on holiday (even though her face was hidden). There is much more spontaneous fun (although who knows?!) in that pic than in this contrived balloon shit.

And I hope those trousers have been put in the jumble bag. Honestly. She has the most appalling taste in clothes.

BasiliskStare · 04/08/2026 19:17

I know it's not liked by all , but if ever a pair of trousers was crying out for a French tuck , it's those.
I really like the shirt.

binkie163 · 04/08/2026 19:25

Couldn't russle up a few friends, neighbours or staff to look as though someone likes her enough to celebrate with her. Just the photographer. No h, kids or doria, she can't bear to share the spotlight or literally no one cares.
Sad lonely photo.
