  1. Either from the back or a side view of the children. Why not show their faces just once. We all seen Harry since he was a baby. Oh well to each their own.

    1. We saw pictures of Harry and William before the days of social media and the sad hatred that goes with that. Death threats against this family are taken seriously. LRB

    2. 9:38 “sad hatred” re pics of Harry and William pre social media?! Nah, we loved seeing pics of them; they were cute and we were intrigued. Photos of sweetness rarely provoke hate. The real problem was the paparazzi trying to take photos at unauthorised times. Not hatred.

  2. Pretty blue dress on Lilibet. I am not fond of the light thru the fabric of Megan’s dress, to bad otherwise a nice dress. Just not appropriate imo.

    1. There is no doubt in my mind that she WANTED that effect.

  3. How old is this photo? Why is she trying to copy Diana, aka no slip. PR at it's worst sad to say. The children are the ones suffering now, and in the future. Lovely bridge.

    1. Exactly. Photos can accidently turn out to be more revealing than intended, but this photo is 100% intentional because they released it.

    2. But…but…privacy…they want privacy!

    3. I look for ways to give Harry and Meghan a break. With this photograph however, selected by them, my eyes immediately went to Meghan’s dress. Because of its light color and style, it is the center piece of the picture and I wonder why this was their final choice for the holiday greeting.

    1. Agree…to a degree most photos are staged but there is a warmth to the Wales photo that is missing from the Sussex’s.

  7. It's such a shame they never show the children "normally." An overly staged photo could easily appear in a glossy magazine, sorry I’am not a fan of this couple.

    2. Agree…of course parents can decide what to show about their children but this photo seems ingenuous. Soon they’ll be crying about their ‘privacy’.

  10. C’est une très jolie photo mais il est dommage de ne pas bien voir les enfants qui ont bien grandi !

  11. I am so happy to see their photos here. It is so so sad how the media treated them. A lovely couple.

  12. Toți 4 sunt nepieptănați, Meghan a ales să posteze o imagine in care i se vede corpul de la talie in jos, mai ales zona posterioară, în timp ce lui Harry i se vede coapsa din cămașa care este ieșită inestetic din pantaloni... Verry fashion! ;)

  13. The girl has always unkept hair.
    It looks so wild maybe make a ponytail.
    A little cut at the underside couldn't hurt.

  14. Cela évite des commentaires non appropriés sur leur physique.
    Les petits princes de Monaco en sont malheureusement l exemple sans objectivité parce qu on déteste la maman

  15. Strange picture

  16. Prince Harry is not the only aristocratic or famous person who doesn't want to show his children's face during a long time. Did it occurred to you that very bad people are trying to use and manupulate pictures of young children in general and young princes, princesses, famous children in particular. The pictures can be photoshopped and transformed into something very bad and be sold to other very bad people. I hope you understand what I am trying to say here. I can understand what Harry and Meghan are trying to avoid. After all they have some experience of everything the press and media is capable to do. As long as it can be sold by the paparazzi for a lot of money everything is allowed.
    Her dress is see through so what, they are living in a warm climate and I can see nothing that is to be ashamed of. If you are looking carefully you see a thin line of a slip.

  17. My mother, who had depression, only managed to comb and curl my hair for photos when I was little. Normally, my hair was a mess. My aunt called me a scraggly- haired doll. This is what I see. Someone took this photo. It was not impromptu.

  18. Seems like a happy and loving photo but it isn’t very Christmasy or evocative of the holiday season. It’s really just like any other photo of a family outside together. So it doesn’t feel like a genuine celebration of the holidays. So why bother (except for the PR)?

  19. Lovely photo in a beautiful, natural setting. Lili’s blue dress is adorable as are her pretty socks and shiny shoes. Meghan is wearing her usual simple and elegant clean lines, which suit her well. Harry and Archie are hugging and laughing like Archie just turned and hugged his Dad happily. It’s a gorgeous family scene and thanks to them for sharing.
