Harry and Meghan's Happy Holiday Card

Social etiquette, the press ?

Do most of the royal family give an Oprah type interview or
A James Corden on top of a bus interview

Agree maddyone

I think children don't always know when they are being rude and it's up to the adults to make them realise if they are. Social etiquette is something they learn as they grow.

I think Charlotte said it quite politely - perhaps Auntie Anne will teach her some more forthright words as she gets older and needs to deal with the paparazzi.

To me, M & H's take on life is shallow and it centres around what is fashionable at that moment. I think this is because they want to remain relevant as they see their popularity dwindling. It is all about self promotion, but that turns very sour when they start criticising their own families along the way.

MaddyOne says everything that needs to be said about this couple and why people dislike them. They want the money, the royal connections that afford them an interest but do not want anything that is not on their terms and that will make them money. They are dislikable to many. Very calculating to release their card last in my opinion.

That card is a photoshopped joke. Look at MM's thumb - the top (above baby's arm) is at a different angle to the base and a different colour to the rest of her hand.

There's a sort of halo effect around the baby's body but not the head - it has obviously been photoshopped on.

Yes I think I said back around page two that Arcies face has been photoshopped. The angle of the left cheek is quite odd.

I did wonder about the space between her pointed finger and the thumb. Far too big a gap and as you say something odd about that angle too.

I wondered if it’s a photo with a few judicious changes or a composite. The halo effect makes me wonder if it’s two or three phots shopped together.

But then I thought that’s quite common nowadays.

Meghan does have wonky thumbs. I think it is hyper mobility or something.

I agree. I'm also fascinated by what is in the background to the far right. It's really too dark to see but there's someone or something there. Looking at the bottom, I wondered if they were the legs of a horse, albeit a bandy one.

The thing with Archie is that he is looking at something on the floor while the others were looking at the baby. Either as you say it is a composite or maybe the dog was sniffing round the ground and distracted him?!

Wonky but not that long It really is the longest thumb in thumb in the world?

Josieann If you click on the photograph to enlarge it, it's easy to see that the top of the thumb is at a different angle to the bottom - they just don't go together, plus it's a different colour and too long for a thumb.

The bandy horse could be a dog too, or chair legs?

Its ET's finger!

Like so

It’s Archies left cheek that’s wrong. The bone of the left eye socket has disappeared and the cheek blob has been added. There is a definite halo effect too which is usual in photoshop.

It’s hard to get four people all looking good on the same photo. Once professionals used to take a hundred shot, one after the other to get one decent one.

Now they take about a dozen and just photoshop one good face or whatever to another.

They did it in the latest Shaun the Sheep which I thought was very funny?

So many with expert knowledge on various other sites have said it’s photoshopped. All their photos are apparently. There is something unnatural about this one I think. It just doesn’t look real.

Josieann I knew that thumb reminded me of something

What? just what is this thread developing into.....is everyone so bored

A critical assessment of a fake, photoshopped photograph. Just like everything else emanating from the pair of them, it's a lie.

Thoughts are with all the people on this thread who feel the need to criticize pictures of small children. I hope you find happiness in the New year and the hate in your heart fades.

I’m sure we are perfectly happy and don’t have hate in our hearts thank you.

lemsip yes, today is a bit of a boring anti climax after 3 days with family.
I don't think it is any surprise that I am one on GN who is always up for discussions on photographic content and techniques. Whoever's thumb. Maybe others too?

I love Archie's hair.

If it was photoshopped, perhaps it could be because the children just wouldn't perform when they should for the camera.
Children don't always do what you want them to do in front of the camera, they get bored, they stick out their tongues, tell the photographer they're not invited etc.
Teenagers are even worse. ??☹?

All official photographs, weddings, graduations etc, get edited these days.
