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.

You don't think Meghan, who straightens her curly hair to the point of flatness, wouldn't know how to handle her daughter's curly hair?

I have curly hair (which I wear sometimes straight and sometimes curly and am very good with) and I am still figuring out what to do with my 8 yo DD's hair, which like Lillibet's is also curly but with a looser curl pattern and is very fine and not as thick. It's a really tricky hairstyle because it can't handle the product you'd use on thicker, curlier hair to make it look good curly, but it's also very breakage prone which makes heat styling and relaxing a hard no, especially on a young kid.

My DD's hair looks just like Lillibet's as sometimes. Humidity is especially hard to deal with.

Yes, her hair is fine thin European white person wavy hair, which is very flyaway. It is different from mixed race or darker thicker curly hair or silky mixed race hair.

The products that fine wavy caucasian hair needs is different than what thicker curly mixed race or biracial hair needs.

Yes and would never use chemicals or very many products at all on a small child’s hair. The suggestions to do so are totally crazy!

You're right. None of us should shampoo our children's hair either. Or use soap to wash them. Or serve them food. Or let them breathe air. NO CHEMICALS EVER!!!!

You’re comparing not using relaxers and flatirons on a preschooler to not using soap and eating food?

What parent wants to do that to a 4 year old. Seriously my kid had hair like this and I just left her natural hair until SHE cared enough to change it - around 12 years old. I say she’s a child - let her be a natural child and not conform to your social media standards.

Really? You wouldn't put an anti-frizz product in your child's hair if you knew you were going to be outside for 2 hours for a photoshoot? REALLY? I'd LOVE to see your natural girl family photos, LOL!

No. You need to ask yourself why does a four-year old need to be coiffed. Let a kid be a kid, and not a mini-me mom replica.

I like my children to be well groomed for the once a year family photos we take. I think most people would agree that they take a little extra time on those days because you're spending money and time on them. I have yet to see a POSED photo on a Christmas card (and I think we've received about 25 that have what are clearly posed family photos so far this year) where the kids are a mess. And this photo we are discussing is very clearly posed.

You've never heard of the no-shampoo method. It really is a thing. People are choosing to keep their kids, especially pre-teens, as chemical free as long as possible.

I have heard of the no-poo method. It's where you use conditioner instead of shampoo. CHEMICALS!!!

Her hair isn't disastrous, it is just a bit frizzy.

That doesn't even register for me. She is 4!

And usually they run wild but if I was going to take a family pic, my daughters hair was styled, brushed, combed, a little styling cream to keep it in place with a bow in it for those 10 minutes. If this is a good day wonder what she looks like the rest of the time. You don’t put knee high socks and silver shoes.with a dress if you’re not trying. It’s just, odd. There are lots of youtube tutorials on how to do little girl hair.

You were the one freaking out that the previous commenter said they wouldn’t use chemical relaxers on a young child’s hair. You compared that to not using soap and shampoo.

The flatiron, I admit I added because even if a kid gets a chemical relaxer, they would still need a flatiron or curling iron to make their hair straight. All of this would take hours of work with a hairstylist and it would be a horrible parenting choice.

It’s disgusting that you compare a mixed child wearing her natural hair with not being clean.

People are always criticizing mothers and how they raise their children. Pot meet kettle. I'm sure there are mothers criticizing you.

Mixed? Natural hair? As a POC with kinky hair, come on.

Maybe there are. But that doesn’t mean we give up and don’t put effort into it. I also don’t want my kids to look back and ask what I was thinking. Photos are for them too. A snapshot in time.

It’s a posed casual photo. Totally fine. My daughter hates when I wash / brush her hair, and so her hair, which I don’t let grow past her shoulders, kind of look like this all the time.

Look, it just needs a trim. It's clearly never been trimmed or cut. It's straggly. Her race doesn't matter here. If she got a haircut, even a few inches, it would look fine. Even unbrushed or unstyled. The way it is, she looks feral. Which is odd since she is clearly wearing a dress, tall socks, and dress shoes. It's not like, a candid shot from a hike they were taking. They got dressed up for it and they posed for it. So to have her hair be a rat's nest is just a weird choice.

It's posed, but definitely not casual. Meghan is practically wearing a gown. Her daughter has on a dress and shiny dress shoes. It's the equivalent of going for a 5 mile run, coming home, not showering or washing your face , keeping your hair up in the sweaty ponytail, and throwing on a fancy dress to attend a wedding.

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:
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9975zk98kyo

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

With all the hate directed at the Sussexes--even on a place like DCUM from the hate hobbyists on this thread--I totally get why they hide their kids' faces.

By publishing the card, rather than sending it to family and friends, they open themselves to commentary. That they hide their kids’ faces is funny because they can fully hide their kids and themselves if they were smart enough to realize that their attempt at being public figures without talking about the royal family has failed miserably.

But William and Kate put out a picture every year and poor Harry thinks he’s still part of the royal family and wants to keep some of its traditions.

It's not a card, it's an Instagram post. One of many Instagram posts. Their Christmas card is just Harry and Meghan.

And since when do Kate and William own Christmas cards, to the point where Harry and Meghan--and presumably the rest of us--shouldn't be sending them out?! Geez.

Honestly you haters are a pathetic bunch. Get a real hobby, one that makes you happy, instead of spending 25 pages using incorrect details to hate on a family you never met.

DP who just joined this thread here. Worry about your own family instead of hating the Instagram post of a family you've never met, and who you only know through lies spread by the British tabloids. Why this obsessive hate, are you escaping something in your own life?

Not sure if you are aware that you are on this thread too.

It is a Christmas card because that’s how it’s being reported in the media. But regardless, the point that Harry is miserable over his decision to leave the royal family still stands. He even dropped his demand that his family apologize to Meghan in a bid to get them to forgive him. But I don’t think William will consider it.
