 I saw this today and didnt think I had seen it shared here. Thoughts? While I do think it's a nice photo of them both smiling, Im not sure it screams 'Royal Christmas' wishes to me but maybe thats not the vibe they were going for. I also wish they'd included the kids like they have done in the past. |

Great picture of them and if they want to protect the privacy of their children, I think that is admirable.

This is a card sent out under the auspices of the Archewell Foundation and Archewell Productions, so it has the appearance of a corporate/business holiday card. That's probably their reason for not including the children. I would be surprised if we see a family card this year - and possibly not in the future. They really like to control when/where those children are pictured.

I think it sounds really weird to have “on behalf of the office of Prince Harry and Meghan”
So it’s not actually from them, but from their office at the Archewell organisations. Okaaayyyyy…….

Well, you can't say they posed for it, that's for sure. It bothers me that there are other people in the background. Seems very business-like to me. Not what I would expect if they want to garner support.

Seems very business-like to me. That's because it is a business card. It's from their foundation and production companies - Archewell. |

I think she looks gorgeous, but it is not a family Xmas card, and I feel like i barely know anything about Archwell (like, does it have anything to do iwth the Inivitcus Games? That is where the picture was taken), so it doesn't do much for me...

It looks like a politician's Christmas card. I agree, it doesn't sound like it's from them but from Archewell. I also don't understand them still using those titles in correspondence after the flight to freedom from the BRF.

It’s giving we couldn’t afford a photo shoot so we took a two bit screenshot of a TikTok vibes.
The guy coming out of Megain’s shoulder? The other people in the frame?
Yuck.

OK so the circle with the arrow in the center of the card (play icon)? I assumed this card was sent electronically and you clicked on it to watch a clip - surely it is not a screen shot where they didn't bother to have the "play" icon removed?  |

I wasn’t referring to the play icon, that’s obviously not on the printed card. I just don’t think this looks like an intentional photograph. It’s a candid shot, and I don’t mind using a candid shot instead of a posed shot, I just think this one is poorly framed, poorly cropped, and poorly chosen. |

Not the best photo, in my opinion. Surely there are better candid shots? There are faces in the background that are distracting. I love the green background color and the color of her dress though.

Nice corporate Christmas card. I'm sure they have other cards they send to their family and friends that include their children.

But in previous years they have shown the 'family' card that has their children so that makes me think this is their only card. And Lord knows someone would have shared a copy of the family card if it was out there somewhere. Edited: I guess last years card didn't feature the kids. It was 2021's card that I am thinking of. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/prince-harry-meghan-offer-first-photo-daughter-holiday-card-rcna9815 |

Can you imagine opening up your browser one day and seeing a photo of yourself included in the photo of another person? And especially a photo of such a controversial couple like these two? |

WOW Tough Crowd.
I don't hate them. I do hate all the hate they get. It makes me want to defend them because it gets so ugly.
If you don't have anything nice to say....

It took them 2 years to make 12 episodes, so I can't think why no other company has rushed to sign them up. |

You are right --- why did I think last years card had them sitting on the front porch with both kids, but you couldn't see their faces? Hmm. Must have been a random photo they dropped.

That's right.... She hates her dad and siblings. They're persona non grata with the Royals. Maybe they will just send cards out to the PTA crowd and neighbors. |

WOW Tough Crowd. I don't hate them. I do hate all the hate they get. It makes me want to defend them because it gets so ugly. If you don't have anything nice to say.... I don't hate them. But they counted on their "star power" as royals, and as that fades, I think they arent as effective as they wanted to be. On the other hand, I am disapointed in Pr&Pss of Wales's workload. Yes, she is raising a young family, but they have nannies. I understand she wants to be hands on, and she is, but the British people pay a LOT and IMO (again, I'm not British) they should be out doing what they can to make awareness for projects and charities and organizations to improve the lives of or honor their citizens. For example, Catherine didn't go to EarthShot, and there was a lot less press about it this year than the previous year when she wore that bright green recycled dress. I know they don't always want there to be a discussion about Catherine's clothes, but if I come for the clothes (which I do!) then I will stay for the purpose. William just doesnt have that same draw/star power when he's alone. She supposedly was staying home to help George study for entrance exams to his next school, but seriously? They dont have tutors or people to go over that with him, just for a couple of days? Is she REALLY sitting down and helping him go over math problems or vocab? LOL. That is kind of the theme in this season of the Crown, so I think it is fascinating. In one of the episodes I just watched, The Queen had them take a poll of the British public on the thoughts towards the Monarchy (no idea if this is true or not), and seemed shocked at the responses. Charles seemed to know he wasn't nearly as popular as Diana and that things needed to change too. Anyways, that's a lot about the BRF that doesnt really have to do with this Xmas card! LOL. |
