To me the biggest problem is that this doesn’t look like a winter holiday card in any way. I actually scrolled past this photo to find the card, because I didn’t recognize it as such.

But Kate and William's does look wintery? There are daffodils in the background for Christ's sakes.

No, I disapprove of the daffodils as well. But at least they’re wearing some seasonally appropriate colors and the composition suggests a holiday card. The other one looks like one of the photos you see in a picture frame you buy at Target.

They live in Southern California, WTF.

The angles of the lighting are different in all 3 parts, dad/son, mom/daughter and bridge/nature.

The person saying the Wales photo is photoshopped and the sussex photo is oh so natural needs to look at the lighting.

Megans lighting is coming from behind (look at her dress and her daughter's hair)

Harry's lighting is coming from a front angle from the left side of the shot (look at his hair and his shirt at his shoulder)

The landscape lighting is coming from the right side (look at the light and shadows on the plant leaves an ground)

The photo is fine, but very staged and photoshopped.

Harry

If you zoom in on the photo and look at the trees, amd Harrys head, there is a lot of photoshopping and 'stamping' happening. Most of it is blended but there are a few pixelated areas where you can see the stamp.

OMG I wondered why I was getting an AI vibe off this picture and you're totally right! Meghan and Lili definitely have the light coming from the back and no one else does.

The one where her dress is see through, his pants are sagging, and the children are oddly placed. Even if this was the only good photo, I can’t believe that no one on their team suggested photoshopping the image to remove all these issues.

The photo is clearly 3 photos photoshopped together to make 1 shot

which makes it even weirder that they'd choose these images of themselves and the kids??? like it's one thing if this is the best one they could get while their faces weren't visible. but to actively choose these poses, from many available ones, to photoshop together??

If Harry is that vain about his hair why doesn't he do a hair transplant? If it's not him, then it's pretty sad that his wife is so embarrassed of him she completely alters his image for a family card. Just fix the hair loss or accept it like William has.

The girl’s hair definitely needs to be brushed and cut.

What up with the weird photoshopping his bald spot with tree leaves?

It is just such a bad Christmas card. So I looked up William’s. It looks classy while Harry’s looks so trashy.

Here is William’s:

That's lovely ^^. They don't feel the need to hide their kids' faces...

I like the Wales. It looks normal. Like they genuinely love each others. Also I like that they are wearing jeans.

Proportionally, the girls are too large compared to the boys. The photographer did not adjust their proportions to scale when he photographed the 2 images together.

Meghans legs are the same length as Harry's legs. If she were standing upright and placed on the same place on the bridge as Harry, Meghan would be the same height as Harry based on her leg length in the photo. You can also compare the proportions of the 2 kids, not just height but limbs and head size. The daughter should be smaller than the son, but she is the same size or larger. That is a sloppy mistake by the photographer. If Meghan did the photoshop work herself like many moms do and apparently Kate does, then she did a fine job for someone who is not a professional. But if a professional photographer combined the 3 images, then they did not do a good job adjusting proportions between boys vs girls, or shooting the 3 images so the lighting matched directions.

That said, I think it's so strange they insist on doing holiday cards with a family photo while refusing to show their kid's faces. I don't need to see their kid's faces, that's fine. But if you want to protect their privacy, why do the holiday card with them in it? Or why not just send a holiday car to family and close friends with a real family photo, and not do a public card at all? If they wanted to express holiday wishes publicly, they could do so without a photo.

It's just such a strange choice.

Without the faces, they’re protecting their kids from people making AI deep fakes of their kids. And giving less of an indication of who
they are to any crazies who might want to hurt them.

Right and I sympathize with that so then why include the kids at all??? Why not just have a Christmas card of the two of them smiling at the camera together? People would understand, since they famously do not let anyone take photos of their kids- all this stuff with these pics and videos of their kids that they put out into the world but from the back, or the side with their faces blocked- it's just super weird. Like, we believe you that you have children. You don't need to do this. It's like they want the world to see them and comment on what natural parents they are with their kids or something.
And to the crazies that would be all conspiracy theory about it and claim that their kids don't really exist, they can STILL do that right now if they wanted to, because no one can tell who these kids are since no one ever sees their faces. They could use different child actors each time for all we know. So it can't be for "proof of life" either.

That makes no sense. It doesn't accomplish much of anything.

Of course it does. You just need to educate yourself on the dangerous of the Internet. You see a lot of celebs putting blue circles to cover their kids faces.

Sure. If by “normal” you mean that Kate can’t stand being physically close enough to William to take a photo. The British press has already called out that she was photoshopped into this card (again.)

There are already pics of the kids out there. They can just you AI to age them.
