Page 4 | Inappropriate photo op for William and catherine

This was at an event this week. But the photo just made me gasp. It looks like the elderly woman is being used as a prop, rather than being treated in a dignified way.

I’d guess that maybe a squaddie clarion call has gone out to stop William being the next king by, erm, posting photos of older ladies on Mumsnet with unpleasant comments alongside - but surely no actual group of humans has ever been that idiotic?? I mean, that’s pond life levels of stupidity.

Thank you for sticking up for the older lady, Jenny Salli, in the photograph, @jeffgoldblum. Loved your work in Independence Day.

Honestly OP, I’d file this post alongside your one about how it was well documented that W+H were at school when Diana died. Maybe under E for Embarrassing.
Do keep trying though, very entertaining for the rest of us.

No !!! I must have missed that little gem . Cringe.

A different woman in exactly the same coat?

All elderly women on Bute have to have that coat, it’s the law. The OP knows about this because they work in that area.

You are a criminal lawyer and you can’t tell that they are the same woman? Seriously?

I quite like Kate’s hat
do you think it’s waterproof?

Don't be daft. The poor lady turned her head for a second.

Here is the one she would prefer you referred to I am sure:

@OneLilacHedgehog did you pay the correct license for this picture from Reuters? Or did you screenshot it and post it without permission? Because you know there are laws about this and I’m sure you would not wish to get mn in trouble.

Woudln't the Reddit subforum she took it from be responsible for that?

Yes, I think so. I like her coat and boots as well.

Funny how when its a picture being discussed of the Wales plenty of posts about how its just the angle, did you see the other pictures and so on but hey its the Wales after all such common sense does not prevail elsewhere because it was not them it would be plenty of why are they clawing her, touching her, don't they have any respect, look at them using an elderly person and forcing her to have a picture when she is clearly in distress and so on ..those type of predicatable comments

Everyone makes mistakes in posts sometimes. Probably best to accept you have done so rather than trying to double down. It is clearly the same woman.

Depends if they paid for it or did the same thing, this particular photo would not have been purchased to be officially released.

Also we now have Earl Spencer standing up and screaming, ‘It should have been me!’ 🎶

Because William’s nan fancied Uncle Spencer’s dad, and if Uncle Spencer’s dad had married Nanny Liz then he, the Earl Spencer, would have been the One True King.

(He’s currently in his Anne of Cleves phase.)

Don’t be ridiculous, it was a nice thing for them to do and they probably made the lady’s day

Anne of Cleves was cool! She's my favourite of Fat Hal's wives.

I'll not hear a word against her!

Definitely not just you.
Not attempting a third attempt as I fear it would induce a migraine.
