The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were named among Time magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2021. New photos of the Duke and Duchess were shared as Prince Harry celebrated his 37th birthday on Wednesday. For their feature in the magazine, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were photographed by Pari Dukovic at their home, and they were styled by Clare and Nina Hallwroth.
TIME announced the full list of 100 most influential people on Wednesday before the annual special edition hits newsstands on September 17. On the occasion of Prince Harry's birthday, the Queen, the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared various photos on their social media accounts.
Nice colours, nice photos.
ردحذفThe trousers can broaden more than they flatter- but ok, modern now.
Good job by their PR-team to get into Times!
It's wonderful to see Harry in another color or another suit besides navy or gray.
حذفWith or without the photoshop, the second picture is a keeper. Meghan is barely 3 month out of a full term pregnancy hence the wide hips. Obviously she is not resorting to unhealthy methods to snap back into shape. Most important was the causes they have championed recently. There are pictures of earthquake survivors in Haiti receiving hot meals flown in from the World Kitchen in nearby Dominica. All of the nattering about photoshop will not feed a single person, but their donation did.
July.
Good news. I am so happy for them.
ردحذفQuelles magnifiques photos avec beaucoup de nuances de couleur verte ; je n'ai jamais vu Harry aussi élégant que dans ce costume associé à une chemise bleu très pale ?! ; la dernière photo est bien faite avec le blanc du chemisier qui contraste mais où cela me dérange, ce sont les cheveux longs qui font un petit peu négligé !
ردحذفHarry looks fantastic in this green suit! Wow! Even without a tie, a simple white shirt with this dark green is so much dressier than the ever present blue suits the royals seem to love. Props to the stylists! I love the second look on Harry as well. They are well coordinated in fall colors. The contrast of Meghan's white outfit with Harry's darker outfit is quite striking. ~d

What have the photoshop-guys done to Harrys hair?
ردحذفI asked myself the same question. Harry's hair is suddenly thicker. Did he had implants or is it the photoshopping ? Marcy
حذفMultiply by 1000. LOOOL
حذفGreat photos. I was a bit iffy about the broad look around Meghan's hips but I like the colour on both of them. It's complementary to Harry's ginger hair. Nicely done.

But there is doubt who’s wearing the pants in this family!
حذفDoch nichts mit dem zurückgezogenen Leben ?
ردحذفHannelore: ...Guter Kommentar, wir werden uns alle noch wundern, was auf dem Plan fuer Ms. Markle steht. .. Aber irgendwann bedeutungslos :)
حذفI like Harry's green suit. Color looks great on him and is unexpected choice. I like both of Meghan's monochromatic looks but the pants aren't the most flattering. I love that her make-up is lighter and we can see her freckles. I am not a fan of the second picture it looks too posed.
ردحذفE.B.B.
Ha ha ha...
ردحذفThey wish...
Not a fan of these kind of trousers at all . Photo number 2 what happened to her right leg ? I mean the stand is not nice . The photographer made a mistake with this paus . I like the first photo. Love the colors.
ردحذفThese have got to be the worst photos of them ever. And this is no commentary on them personally. So heavily photoshopped. Megan looks plastic. Harry looks like a wax doll, nothing like himself. Plus, in that one pic he is literally cowering behind her looking like he is scared for his life. There is no life in their eyes at all.
ردحذفChel
Phew Chel, you said what I didn't dare because a lot of people are very rude lately.
حذفBut I fully agree about their faces, eyes and expressions.
Well said, Chel. Apart from Harry's incredible head of hair, I couldn't figure out why the photos looked so strange but you've said it. I think the first one is reasonable but the others are weird. It's telling that the cover photo has the less important person in terms of protocol in front and the Prince behind. I like his green suit. In the second pic, Meghan reminds me of the pose of Charlie's Angels--the revised version not the original.
حذف@Chel and Rosalyn: These are professional magazine cover and editorial photos. When for that purpose, they are ALWAYS doctored and edited and will always look exactly like they have been edited because that's what sells magazines, products and dreams - pretty colours, pretty images, 100% fantasy. You'll never see a natural looking photo in these type of large publications and if you do it was probably doctored to look that way too. Accordingly these kind of photos should be critiqued knowing those assumptions. No point saying that the photo subjects don't look real... because they aren't and are not meant to either. That's how advertising works.
حذف- Anon 9:13
I agree too.
حذفI agree too ! I understand that photos for magazines need tweaking! But these are altered appearances! So in truth, not a true representation of how they really look ! Harry hair for one ! Plus the altered size of his head !
حذفFor a couple so anti mis-truths! Sadly the whole photo shoot, consists of mis-truths in these photos !
As well why does it look like Harry’s been an after thought, and almost squeezed into the photo ! Ana
I agree also.
حذفHi Anon 9:13, you're right of course about always editing and doctoring professional cover photos. But to me, it looks more like changing, than editing. Harry's hair is way fuller and thicker, for example.
حذفWe've seen more covers and modelling photos from royals before (Kate, Beatrice of Monaco, Charlotte Casiraghi for example) but in my eyes, they never looked so unreal and 'wax' as Harry and Meghan here. And no, this is not personal against them, it's against the people who, sadly, overdid their job and went too far with the changing.
Hi Rosalyn, yes I agree totally about what you say about Harry hair and the waxiness of the image. Yes, some graphic artist has gone too far beyond taste. It's one thing to adjust the tone and texture of an image through light and colour and quite another to add features by airbrushing or other means. Reeks of false pretenses. However most are less familiar with H&M than we are on this blog and would never know. All they see is an attractive couple who have been in the news a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if the subjects themselves have questions with the end result since they have minimal control over the images commissioned by a third party.

Hi Anon 9:13, thank you for your thoughtful and kind explanation. I understand what you mean and think you are right. Have a nice day ;-)
حذفThis looks to me like promo posters for a B class drama show. I don't know why they haven't controlled their image more imaginatively, heck royals and celebrities have been around forever. Nothing attractive about all the green, not very flattering to them, and the Time cover I actually did think was a spoof, apologies.
ردحذفI hope their work is wonderful.

When I say control their image I mean not to play clown while your wife is in basically lounge wear in your mansion trying to start a charity which is also the same name as your human child. It's a bit much. The photos show an unapproachable couple in what looks a bit stiff attire. Waiting a few years until things settle before giving expose interviews.... I suppose they are an influencial couple. I'm uncomfortable with their image.
ردحذفI did think the Time cover was a spoof.

E la privacy?
ردحذفProof that they don't want privacy, just compensation for being seen. Ann B
حذف@ Rosella: Missing class the day privacy was discussed leaves one at a disadvantage. As explained many times in this forum they preferred not to have details of their personal life and that of their children leaked/published in sleazy tabloids in exchange for living on taxpayer funds. For example there are no pictures of the new baby and very few of Archie. We see both of them in connection with their WORK. THAT is what the average family gives to, and expects from, the public.

@ j (anon 00:53): This exactly. Well said.

حذفI didn' t know we had to take privacy classes related to these two.
Very interesting.
That is the problem, privacy and invisibility are not the same thing. That class would have been helpful

Happy belated 37th birthday Prince Harry.
ردحذفCongratulations to them both for their "Times" accolade.
Great professional photos and yes, of course, photos like this always have a helping hand from photoshop.
Each is complementing the other with their outfits.
A great success for the Sussexes . IMO.
New additions to Madame Tussaud, I think,
ردحذفJosh
The most influential? Ridiculous. The photographer exaggerated with retouching photos. After all, they look like wax figures from the Madamme Tussauds museum (in the last photo).
ردحذفDaniela
Exactly my thoughts. Best comment! The pictures are photoshopped too much. And didn't they want privacy? Therefore they should not be shown in this blog anymore to give them no more space in the future.
حذفStart the bashing folks...
ردحذفSorry, I think it looks odd. Especially in the second photo, their faces aren't 'real' and Meghan is posing in an odd way with her legs. It looks like they did a lot of work on their faces with photo shopping. The third picture is better, Meghan looks stunning, but still unreal. I can't put my fingers on it; maybe it's just the photo shopping. I don't know.
I don't like these shades of green, to be fair. But it's nice with Harry's ginger hair and looks good against Meghan's skin.
Judging from these pictures, they must have a stunning garden.
Nice to see something from them though, and I'd love a photo from baby Lily!!
See you don't need any help ;)
حذفWell Anon 08:20, I didn't mean to bash anyone, I never would.
حذفBut giving an opinion about Harry and Meghan is easily seen as 'hating' or 'bashing' and commenters also attack others for it.
You can always disagree with someone, but should never utter that in a rude way.
Have a nice day! :-)
I do wonder, what have they done to deserve this honor? I could say, they made snide, nasty comments about both sides of their families, but I wont say that and cause a fire storm. There is an old saying; you reap what you sow... It applies to these two. jj
ردحذفThis is their family, no place for a stranger to embed themselves. Amazing you are entitled to your opinion, but they are not entitled to their opinion of their own family. Chutzpah!
حذفJ.
Sorry, aber auf dem ersten Bild wirken sie wie zwei Trolle im Wald. Und mehr als komisch, dass sie einen Mantel trägt, wo es in Kalifornien um diese Jahreszeit noch sehr warm ist, da war ja auch bei uns noch Spätsommer. Sehr gestellt, diese Fotos. Ich gehe bei mir zuhause im Garten jedenfalls nicht mit einem Mantel herum. Das zweite Foto (vor dem Fenster) bzw. ihre Kleidung ist extrem unvorteilhaft. Naja, meine Sympathien für dieses Paar haben sich sowieso in Luft aufgelöst, seit es mit diesem übersteigerten Geltungsdrang ständig das Vorkommen in den Medien sucht.
ردحذفMan traut es sich ja kaum zu sagen, aber ich bin voll und ganz ihrer Meinung! In allen Punkten.
حذفUnd demonstrativ so viel teuren Schmuck an zwei Händen zu tragen, wenn sie ihre Arbeit für sozial Benachteiligte repräsentiert finde ich scheinheilig.
Congratulations to them! They are a handsome couple!
ردحذفJudy
I think Harry is doing her hair now 🤣🤣🤣
ردحذفThought the same, he reminds me of a hairdresser after they are finished and they bob down to look in the mirror with you. I don't feel they have done anything to be in the 100 most influential list.
حذفYes, he Is fixing his new wig !
حذفP.
These are odd pictures especially the third one. Looks unreal. Nice fall color schemes though. Also influential? For what? Encouraging people to bash out one's own family and complain and whining?
ردحذفI love the outfits that Harry and Meghan are wearing. Complimentary colors to their skin tones, and keeping with today's styles. Love solid colors. Some years the styles are less flattering than others (like those awful crop pants ). But the Duke and Duchess exude a relaxed and comfortable expression. Belated birthday wishes to Prince Harry. And I love that Meghan embraces her freckles -- they were quite visible on her wedding day. As for photoshopping -- give it a rest folks. I can't think of a single royal throughout Europe , in their age brackett and older, that hasn't been photoshopped at some time or another!
ردحذفInfluential?
ردحذفHilarious.
And what do they have to teach others?
How to throw your families under the bus and how to grift....
حذفI wonder how they placed them in the list of most influential people...
حذف100th?
Fabulous!
ردحذفAwful green trousers on Meghan. What about their privacy by the way?
ردحذفGood question. Mary I
حذفI think, the pic on the magazine shows their personalities very well , their wish and the true behind, why they wanted to 'leave' the royal duties :
ردحذفIt was not to get away from the media and the spotlight, but to be

more .
HOLY photoshop! Looks like he made enough money to get hair plugs and she was able to get 3 new better quality weaves, not as dry and frizzy looking as her previous ones. the thirst is strong with this pair, and once again with blood diamonds, no shame with this pair.
ردحذفWell said!!!
حذفRenee
She's a real actress, Meghan, especially in the second and third picture. She makes a statement like she is the real deal - the power behind the scenes-.
ردحذفThe last photo she dominates the whole cover; dressed in white (which catches the ( light in the) eye), hair all over the place ( Harry in the corner yearning for support).
Also strange never saw an image of the last-born??
I think they see themselves as the american branche of a royal tree.
But what is royal? Benevolent, not me me me all the time.
In my opinion Harry is the winner with his smart green suit -Anna-
Harry looks as stiff as a board . It's as if he doesn't suit the Hollywood scene. Meghan looks plastic & botox plus or at least has had work of some sort. These are unflattering photos. Mary I
ردحذفCon relación a moda ambos lucen bien aunque las fotos están muy retocadas, aunque esto ya es común en publicaciones, pero aún me parece un tanto exagerado. Con relación a ser nombrados influyentes, los comentarios en Time instagram no son nada favorables.
