Harry and Meghan’s Christmas card

Anonymous
You can kind of see the hair illusion here:



His head is turned down more in the Christmas pic, but the normal curved head shape kind of looks more extreme with his hair loss and the way he styles it to look good (er, better) facing forward.

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.


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.)

And the monarchy loyalists heard the dog whistle loud and clear. Whatever the heir is accused of, blame the spare. It was that way with Charles, it was that way with William and Harry, and the press is already priming the British public to view Louis as the “cheeky one.”


Lol you have it backwards. When you don't like the critique then bring up the couple in England. Whataboutism every time.


No whataboutism. William and Kate released their card FIRST and they immediately received photoshop criticism in the press. When Harry and Meghan released their card a few days later, their loyalists didn’t even need to see it to know what to say. The playbook has been the same for decades.


K. Start a thread about it. Has nothing to do with the topic.


Kate Stans accusing Meghan of doing whatever Kate got bad press for has everything to do with this thread.

Kate and William released a card that was bashed for being photoshopped. Days later, when Harry and Meghan release their own card, the monarchy stans try to change the narrative. Kate didn’t use photoshop, Meghan’s card was AI and Lilibet is wearing a wig.


OMGOMG a Wales scandal???? Girl. Girl!!!! Hook us UP! I need, nay I DEMAND, some stinky links to allllllllllll this coverage by the capital p Press over stupid racist eeeeeeeevilll Waity’s latest crime against all angels of color!

Let’s see those links. Don’t go crybabying about it. Produce.

I think the kids should be in or out. This sort of dangling them out there is not a good idea. It makes the curious more curious than if it was just something they did not do at all.

+100
"Monarchy loyalists"? Didn't realize that simply liking Kate, Will, and their family made me a "monarchy loyalist". Who's the bizarrely rabid PPP?

As someone with curly hair, I will posit that brushing Lilibet's hair could make it very frizzy. Or it could be that humidity makes her hair freak out a bit.

Or maybe she hates having it brushed. I did when I was her age, and I have a vivid memory of having my hair brushed and squirming around so much trying to get away that my mom whacked me with the brush. It's OK with me if Megan prefers unbrushed hair on a preschooler to that.

But regardless: You are criticizing the hair of a preschooler.


It's the parents job to make the kids presentable. It's not her fault her hair is a hot mess.

DP Her hair is not a hot mess. Just because you have straight, stringy hair does not mean that everyone else has such bland hair. Get over yourself.


Wypipo, amirite, girlfriend?

Let’s celebrate these genuine African heroes and sheroes against scurrilous claims by the stringy and the British. How very dare straight stringy salty Tina Brown who is a mere royal blogger and never published a got damn thing report that antiracist Harry say something as stupid as you?

Haters everywhere.

Harry Wales and Meghan Sussex


He's been Harry Wales since childhood because his dad was Prince of Wales then. He used that last name at school and in the military. He got the Sussex title as a wedding gift. So his wife is Duchess of Sussex. She is not a Princess of Wales OR THE Princess of Wales. I guess she was never made a Princess. Technically, I think Kate was not until William became THE Prince of Wales. There was much remark over how William put "princess of the UK" as Kate's occupation on (George's?) birth certificate. At that point she could have gone by Kate Cambridge. And was a royal duchess. At that time, she could also have been called Princess William.


Actually, Meghan is a princess. She is Princess Henry of Wales.


Meghan is not a princess of wales.


I thought they were all over and done with the titles. Not a Princess. I think her daughter is though. But again thought they wanted no titles?


No - they want the titles and the security but not to do any of the royal 'work'.


The Queen called Will and Kate “Won’t and Can’t”.

They all seem to be over the “work” part, whatever that was.

The lighting on their bodies does not match the lighting on the landscape.

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


They’re all backlit by the bit of sun coming through the trees. That’s called “hair light”.

No, they aren't all backlit.

Only the girls are backlit.

Loot at Harry's white shirt. He is lit from the front of his shoulder, from the left front corner of the photo.

The little bit around the boys' heads is not backlighting. It is a photoshop edging you can put around cropped images when you stick them on top of the background.

Look at the back of Harry's neck.

His sunshine is definitely coming from the front side.

Eh. I edit photos about 10 hours a day and the lighting doesn’t strike me as odd. But I’m also
not invested in the royals at all.

They are out doing Royal things every week and living by Royal rules and all of that. Fine. So they can have the titles and pomp and represent the country.

Meghan and Harry aren't doing any of the Royal things or living by Royal rules. Yet they want the royal titles and apparently are upset they don't have the security. I think people would have more respect for them, or at least the respect they seem to want, if they would stop trying to be royal Americans, a la Countess Luann, and just be normal people.

The reason she called the Won’t and Can’t is because that was their response to her requests for them to “do royal work”. So, no. They are not “out there every week”. For years they’ve done as little as possible only increasing slightly when dad was sick and it looked like becoming King might be close.

To people who don’t look at them with rose colored glasses or think they’re superior humans, it’s pretty obvious they’re slackers too.

And not providing them with security was a giant flag of the narcissistic abuse within that family. They’re seriously dysfunctional and nothing to admire.

The card is just tacky. Beautiful setting. It almost seems like the book cover for a horror theme with all the awkward juxtapositioning. The daughter's tangled hair. Boy with awkward embrace. Meghan deliberately showing off her body with a see-through dress. Children's faces carefully hidden.

Why bother?
