Or should that be, Archewell Productions and Archewell Foundation would like to remind everyone who they are??

Somewhere amongst the self congratulatory photos of themselves doing great works 🤔 is a pic of their children taken from behind.

Pointless?

Oh dear. A lot of us do care.

Anniebach Tue 17-Dec-24 11:05:33

I care

MissInterpreted Tue 17-Dec-24 11:24:29

'Care' about H&M's xmas card? Really? There are many things in the world I care about - that is most definitely NOT one of them.

Anniebach Tue 17-Dec-24 11:46:43

I care that Christmas Day is celebrated as is Good Friday and
Easter Monday,

One nice 'family snapshot' and five self-promotions of H &M.

Obviously part of their commitment to the environment as they've recycled their card from last year but pasted in new photos. wink

As an aside - how old is this photo as Harry seems to have no beard/moustache? Or is it a photoshop card?

Lilibet looks nearly as tall as Archie.

If you didn’t know, you might think they were twins.

It doesn’t look very Christmassy.

I think it's an AI image Cold.
Look at the little girl's weird feet and shoes.

Grunty Tue 17-Dec-24 14:58:38

Very natural and lovely.

Are Megan's arms really that long or is it AI/photoshopped?

Calendargirl Tue 17-Dec-24 14:59:47

And it all looks rather ‘blurred’.

The dogs look more real than the people.

escaped Tue 17-Dec-24 15:03:20

Calendargirl I've just checked their ages, and the Sussex children are 2 years apart. About the same as William and Harry. I'm sure in the early photos of W & H, there was quite a difference in height? You're right.

Grunty Tue 17-Dec-24 15:06:50

The dogs look more real than the people.

Nit if you look at its feet! It looks as though its got boots on! And the little girls feet are also weird, like she's wearing big platform shoes. Nice natural photo? 🤣

Am not a royalist but I think it is so sad that Harry and Meghan are estranged from their respective families, as someone who has suffered estrangement I know how much it hurts, and doesn’t matter how famous or wealthy you are.
Am sure Charles and William will feel it this Xmas as will Harry and am sure Meghan and her family will feel it too.
Special occasions just bring it all to the surface 🥺

Anniebach Tue 17-Dec-24 15:10:17

Will William feel sad ? the attacks on Catherine by H & M have
been nasty

Babs03 Tue 17-Dec-24 15:15:20

I think a lot is said about H & M in the media, tend to ignore it if I can, and estrangement does cause a lot of anger and ill feeling, but deep down the love and the hurt doesn’t go away.

Calendargirl Tue 17-Dec-24 15:17:57

H&M holding out their arms to hug the children.

Shades of that picture of Diana reaching out to greet her boys when they joined them back on the Royal Yacht when they returned from some trip or other.

She was wearing a lovely pink Chanel jacket, as I recall,

Sorry, would be better if I could show the picture.

If H&M paid to have that photo done, they were robbed!

Anniebach Tue 17-Dec-24 15:18:01

I was referring to Harry’s book and tv interviews

BlueBelle Tue 17-Dec-24 15:28:01

How lovely to see two happy healthy children with their mum and dad
None of us know who is to blame or why the rift happened and neither is it our business
Some truly nasty comments if it was Willian and Kate you’d all be falling over each other saying how wonderful they all are

pascal30 Tue 17-Dec-24 15:32:18

Nice natural family photo..

Rosie51 Tue 17-Dec-24 15:38:17

BlueBelle are you unaware that Catherine likes to be referred to as Catherine, or is the use of Kate being 'nasty'? I'm sure you refer to Meghan with the correct spelling, even though her given name is Rachel.

Oh look. Another thread full of people offended that the US, a secular country, is inclusive of all religions during this period of time by using the words Haopy Holidays.

Do you know how ridiculous you all sound? You may be offended that they didn't say Happy Christmas (it is Merry Christmas in the US by the way), but this card is not about you or for you. It is an American card for an American audience.

You all should be more offended that they used their titles vs what a population of over 300 million half a world away say in December.

Anniebach Tue 17-Dec-24 15:48:15

Do you know how aggressive you are ?

Rosie51 Tue 17-Dec-24 15:49:43

The USA is a secular country yet has "In God we trust" on its currency. Seems a bit of a contradiction, but hey ho.

We are entitled to say if we don't like the generic 'Happy Holidays' and you don't have to be so rude. I have North American family, North America does include Canada, who say Happy Christmas, I guess they haven't learned the correct address.

imaround Tue 17-Dec-24 15:56:26

You are welcome to view me as aggresssive. What ypu think of me is not my business.

What the heck does Canada have to do with a holiday card in the US?

Nice picture, nasty thread.

Agreed. Because of course the cards with family photos of other members of the RF, are not posed at all? and not at all about 'how wonderful we are'.

Very natural and lovely.

Another one. Weird to be so unkind and critical of people we don’t know
