Well if the Daily Mail decrees that the picture was photoshopped then of course it must be. Part of their continuing manipulative hate campaign against these 2. Their lead article( online version) shows ‘ adorable’ Prince George stirring puddings with his Grandfather, great-grandmother and father. So naturally we are invited and inclined to make comparisons. I wondered when the Mails judgement would be cited as evidence

The photograph of George with his father, grandfather and
great grandmother was an official photograph for the British
Legion of which the queen has been patron of since she became queen.

I know it is an officially sanctioned photo. I was interested in the way the paper ‘used’ it. ?
Christmas Greetings to all , whatever our differing loyalties and affiliations!

I’m glad he’s home. That’s lovely for him and his family, a chance to all be together for a few days.

Yes, I was happy for him when he was discharged today.

Actually it was Twitter that decreed it and I believe the rest of the media reported it.

Anyway it doesn't matter if it was shopped or not. Photoshopping is a completely legitimate way of making a photographic composition look more attractive. It's different matter if a photograph is used to demonstrate something legally or educationally and it has been edited to imply some false facts.

Archie could well grow out of his squint. DGS was cross eyed at the age. The specialist said it was probably because of his nose and that his face would grow to fit his nose. (His nose wasn’t noticeably big!) It seems to have done and he is no longer cross eyed. smile

I don't think it is an actual squint. He has very widely spaced eyes with a marked epicanthic fold. I think it's just that the white of his eye on the inner side is covered by that fold. As his skull grows that will appear to cover less of his eyes.

He was probably right near the camera and focussing on the lens which made him squint a little.

I think Archie looks very like his American grandfather.
