Artistic, or dull and boring?

Although as I’ve already said I think it’s a beautiful photo, I prefer Charlotte’s usual plaited hairstyle to the long loose look.

Lovely photo, though as has been said, not Christmassy.
I like the idea of some standing rather than everyone seated.
I’m truly grateful that I don’t have to put our family picture up, lovely, though it is, for people to comment on

So Charlotte had picked an outfit her mum didn't like. George didn't care. Louis wanted to wear his Minecraft T shirt. Kate tried on 15 designer dresses and didn't like any of them. William turned up in a white shirt and tie. So they sent a PA out to Asda to buy white shirts in assorted sizes. Kate told William to ditch the tie and they all posed. George still didn't care and refused to say "Cheese" or "Sausages".

No message really just a family photo they all look pretty relaxed

I agree, it's not at all festive, maybe that's deliberate, to appeal to those who don't celebrate Christmas?

I did wonder about that 🤔. It does seem likely.

Interestingly, yesterday I came upon this photograph on Facebook.
I skimmed through the many comments. Every comment was positive.

Reminds me of this

It does nothing for me at all! I like the family but I think the entire picture and colouring is quite boring!

Photo looks ok, it doesn’t do any of them justice and l love the candid colour shots of them. Oh I’m a Christmas fan, so would love a much more Christmassy photo

I quite liked it..very stylish but I agree not Christmassey.

I always think it's rather vain sending self-portraits as Christmas cards, it doesn't look Christmassy at all, they're just trying to look cool.

I'm sure Kate has less to worry about with regard to their children, now as in all probability they wont be having any contact with their lying aunt and uncle who despite their best efforts, have failed to destroy H's family sazzl.

Not a Christmassey photo but showing a handsome and happy family.

Good grief we re talking about a photo of William and his family why does it have to involve digs at his brother
It’s nothing at all to do with the photo , concentrate on the question in hand and that goes for both the ‘fors’ and ‘againsts’ it’s stupid and divisive

You're much more polite than I would have been, Bluebelle, that's why I didn't respond 🙂

But I hope I'm not gullible enough to believe everything that comes out of the mouths of the Montecito Two.

Well I'm glad I won't be getting one

Mollygo I’m truly grateful that I don’t have to put our family picture up, lovely, though it is, for people to comment on

Indeed.

I'm quite grateful we've never been forced into family photos. If cajoled, my scowling is probably not attractive.

I am amazed Louis stood still.
I like it.

I like it, but then I have always disliked the photos people sent with the entire family wearing Santa hats or something equally stupid.

A recent photo of the growing children is fine to me.

I was just wondering is Charlotte sitting down because she is as tall (or taller)) than George?

No Glorianny, George is at least six inches taller, you could see that when they attended the Carol service last week. I think it’s just a composition, posing five people looks better if there is one in the middle.

You are absolutely right Casdon, but doesn't she look older in this photo with her hair down?

The only one who looks at ease is Charlotte who is starting to look like a young Sarah Chatto.

Louis’ hand is awkwardly placed and if it weren’t for his white toecaps you wouldn’t be able to spot his legs.

If it’s supposed to look arty I don’t think it works.

Yes, she does look like Sarah, at least in that photo.

It would be better with some colour in it!
