Little girls' hair

I spotted this picture of Harry and Meghan with Lilibet and was shocked at the state of her hair. It looks unwashed and matted. Don't they posses a hairbrush?

Then I saw another little girl (someone I know) whose hair was even worse! 😳

Is this a thing now, to just leave the hair unbrushed?

I've reported it to Gransnet because I'm so puzzled. đŸ€”

Also, I can't find it online so maybe it's been blacklisted by Meghan! I'm pretty sure it's genuine, it was in a newspaper I think. I've seen some of the fake ones and they are mostly on Tik Tok (no surprise there).

I’ve seen that picture before.

It was one of a selection that Meghan posted in celebration of Harry’s recent birthday.

Rather gushing wording with it, along the lines of ‘the best husband and father in the world’.

There always seems quite a few of those, not necessarily Royal.

Going back to the hair.

Yes, the ‘unbrushed’ look seems to be the norm for Lilibet, along with the bare feet.

When they were in California, I assumed it was meant to emphasise the outdoor, free-and-easy lifestyle they were all enjoying, as opposed to the stilted, buttoned-up one the family back home had to endure.

Now they are back in good old Blighty, however

For goodness sake in my “down” time my hair was never tied back and I had bare feet, as did my children.

All our GC are barefooted as soon as it becomes warm indoor and outdoors, as am I.

I know when summer is coming to an end as I look for my slippers and garden shoes, along with hearing our AC constantly telling the GC to put something on your feet if you are going outside.

Bare feet will be a bit chilly in the winter time though.

My 3-year-old GD has got curly hair, which stretches down to her waist. It's always clean and put into a ponytail or pigtails, but she pulls out the hair accessories and likes it to be free. As a consequence, it looks untidy - so what? She's a child.

Not in 21st century houses that our family and friends have.

If the Sussex’s daughter had pristine hair and shiny shoes, no doubt there would be posts along the lines of stop dressing her up, let her be a child

I am not a fan if the Sussex’s however, the constant fault finding on GN is becoming rather tedious I find myself defending them
