Willam and Kate’s Christmas card 2023

[Anonymous]

Is no one going to wonder what happened to Louie’s hand? Did they have to cut off a sixth finger?

Yawn.

Why is it soooo boring. That's not a holiday card - its just a (very stages) family photo with nothing interesting about it.

I think the little hand is very interesting.

I think it's just they way he is holding his hand. If you scroll through the pictures here, it looks normal otherwise. https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/g22352481/prince-louis-photos-news/

Christmas card must be a photoshop fail. Wonder what they had to edit.

If I had the inclination I'd close crop Kate's head in the pic. She doesn't look herself.
Between that and the poor baby's chopped finger, they could have used a candid from their recent Christmas candle night out - they all looked great.

Wasn't another Christmas photo a bad photoshop? The one with the Queen and all her greatgrands (sans Harry's kids)?

No shade- Ralph Lauren has to be thrilled. The only visible logo in the royal family portrait.

A classic American brand, too! They’re so careful about these things so it’s pretty interesting that made the final cut.

Fail.

Agree. They are royals in line to the throne, not the Kardashians (as a PP aptly pointed out).

Also there has been a sense of heightened tragedy in the world right now: many Brits and commonwealth citizens are reportedly finding it hard to process how badly the UK has fared under Brexit, climate change- induced extreme weather, the horrific conflict in Gaza and appalling rise in Islamophobia and anti semitism, resurgence of war criminal Putin in the Ukraine war, and rise of authoritarian regimes around the world. My take is that they may be showing respect for the sadness and grief many people feel for alarming world events they cannot control.

If I were to nit pick, I'd say Kate's makeup is too heavy handed.

I don’t think it’s makeup. Seems to be some sort of blurring effect on the photo

Agreed!

The more I look at Kate's curtain bangs and long waves, the less I like them. I think it would be okay if her hair was lighter, but the darker shade she's been wearing combined with more hair around her face, plus heavier eye makeup -- I think it might look good in person but doesn't photograph as well. Especially not in a photo this stiffly posed.

The kids look cute. William looks like William, no comment.
