Harry and Meghan have issued a photo of Lilibet taken on her first birthday at Frogmore.

What a sweet little girl and what lovely colour hair, more copper than lighter red.

Anybody else recognise the footman?

He looks different with his trousers on...

Did you take this picture? wink

Ooops! Cross post - sorry!

Inviting a friend who is a photographer to a party is different than hiring a photographer.

Think of all the poor photographers all over the world who would never be invited to anything if that would be the case!

Very cute little one but it’s a very odd pose……where are her legs/feet? Obviously under the frock, I know, but it does look a bit strange.

Well I have said it and I will say it again, I have the upmost sympathy for Harry. People are ASSUMING they flew hone with their 'tails between their legs', how can anyone possibly know for certain? They can't, they may have planned to leave when they did.

As for Lillibet, she is gorgeous ?

I agree with you. She's a little cutie, but it's an odd photo to release. The way her dress is bunched up she looks like a balloon.

The DailyMail reporting what the Sun alleged- Ooh It MUST be true!
No bias there is there?

She’s sitting on a grass ledge, her legs are hanging down, not under her dress.

I’m surprised a professional photographer actually allowed that photo to be released.

It doesn’t say much for his expertise.

I have a red haired granddaughter. Her father (my son) is brown haired but has a ginger beard, her mother is brown haired but has a brother who is red haired.My DH had light red hair, I had brown hair (before going grey), my brother had red hair when young and my paternal grandmother was a red head in fact my DGD looks very much like her.

I’m really puzzled. All this discussion about genes and hair colouring. Isn’t this what Megan said was racist ?
Genuine question .

No.

Although DD used to get a toot on if she was called 'Ginge'

My mother-in-law had red hair, but none of her children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren do. They are all blond or brown.

Not relevant I know, but my father had beautiful hair, wavy and almost black, inherited from his father. His sister had it too, but not his brother, though that brother’s daughter has it. I am very disappointed that I haven’t inherited it. My hair is just ordinary brown.

The Sussex’s would only have sold the pictures!

Annaram1 Wed 08-Jun-22 11:30:01

I have red hair and was told that my grandmother on my father's side had red hair until she died at the age of 84. One of my grandchildren has red hair like mine, and he is now 27 and unfortunately going bald. I have always loved my hair and used to sit in the sun and admire the colour...

Ahhh, thanks for this, it was confusing me. She looks like a Weeble!

A nice enough picture of a 1 year old who is as sweet as 1 year old generally are.
I'm surprised people still care so much about H and M and their offspring.

Lizzie44 Wed 08-Jun-22 11:51:59

First DD was born with red hair - a surprise to many who didn't know that my mother was a redhead. The gene had skipped a generation. DD's hair is beautiful - thick and lustrous and a wonderful shade of auburn (just like my mother's). I have two brown-haired GSs but maybe the gene will skip another generation to their offspring....

Amalegra Wed 08-Jun-22 12:01:56

I have/had red hair! My maternal aunt also my paternal great uncle and my father’s cousin. Quite a few first cousin marriages in my dad’s family over the generations (!), including my paternal grandparents. That might explain one side of it I suppose but no one else in either family in living memory but us four had it. Would be so interesting to go back through the generations to see how these patterns emerge wouldn’t it?

Joyfulnanna Wed 08-Jun-22 12:14:55

Oh she melts my heart. What a beautiful girl

Aepgirl Wed 08-Jun-22 12:27:15

My mother’s sisters (5 of them) had red hair, but my mother’s was very dark brown, almost black. Before my hair started to go grey, in the summer I had definite red streaks in my otherwise dark brown hair.
My daughter’s hair is shiny black, inherited from her Maltese great-great-grandmother.

Harry is still 5th or 6th in the line of succession. Why shouldn’t people be interested? You obviously aren’t (although you did ask the question…) but a lot are.

My DGS has beautiful red hair, which he really likes, but unfortunately has been taunted about it all through his first year at secondary school.

Happysexagenarian Wed 08-Jun-22 13:17:43

Oh she's a real sweetie!. Lovely photo too.
