William and Catherine’s Anniversary Photo

Well it’s a good thing we’re not all alike isn’t it? Makes for a discussion.

I think it is lovely. Lots of legs ,I agree, but all lovely, healthy looking legs .
I love to see the obvious love between them.

Although it appeared to be a lovely, natural picture, it was staged. I’m sure they hadn’t arrived with bare feet for example.

I just couldn’t help thinking how uncomfortable it looked !

Don't most people take off their shoes on the beach?

It just looks like an informal shot of them lying in a grassy sand dune at the beach.

All of the beach cricket photos have bare feet (Charlotte and Louis' birthdays) as does Louis jumping in the sea.

^Give them a break! They are casual holiday pictures, not formal ones^

It's an official photograph.

They are a photoshoot done with the design brief saying casual holiday - and that is what we have.

Give them a break! They are casual holiday pictures, not formal ones. A girl with 2 brothers needs times to be girly and nail varnish is such a trivial thing, almost like face painting at that age.

On the other side, the message is that 10 year old princesses are just ordinary 10 year old girls doing and liking the things that other 10 year old grls like and do

Apparently blue nail varnish is in at the moment!

It was green not long ago. Blue's nicer 😀

I think some people see too much in photos and actually she just has her closed hand in front of her left leg. The forensic analysis of a family snap is somewhat OTT in my opinion.

I agree. In fact I am rather horrified what some posters are reading into the photos.

I hope that Charlotte continues to just enjoy wearing her nail varnish when she doesn't have to comply with school uniform rules.

She's 11 years old and will have years ahead of her having her fashion choices picked apart by the media.
Bet her brothers don't come in for the same scrutiny!

I've been sorting through boxes of old family photos recently and some of my tween/teen choices were interesting at times.
At least I only had my Mum and Dad passing coment.

I wasn’t shocked, just surprised especially in a birthday “ official” photograph.
Times are changing.

The Queen used to wear only Ballet Pink nail varnish, didn't she? Boring! 😆

I like Charlotte's blue nails. What else do you with your mum on holiday in Cornwall after you've walked the dogs and climbed a few trees with your cheeky brothers? She's certainly not allowed to wear it to school, but this is her down time.

It's a nice sign that William & Kate let Charlotte do what other little girls do, it would be nice to think mother and daughter have pamper sessions together at home and when they're not "on show" I would imagine that their home life is much like anyone else's family life 🥰.

I was very surprised at the blue nail varnish and I think the nails could even be false ones.
Her GGM would not have approved.

A beautiful natural photo of 11 year old Charlotte, finding her own style. I love the blue nail polish and ring on her right index finger, very edgy 😉🤗.

Lovely and natural 🙂

Beautiful girl.

Again for a professionally taken photo which is released to the world it's not a very good composition.

The more I see the photograph, the more uncomfortable it makes me personally feel.

It is the legs.
Positions can have meanings.
[not going to spell it out].
Princess Charlottes' legs in particular make me wince, and especially as she is 11 now.

Maybe I am overthinking.
If just me, no worries.

I agree with you, and think it’s another badly changed and edited photo of them all.

If you enlarge the image you will see what I mean.

I think she really had her hand in the jeans pocket, but altering things on the photo has made the hand appear very low.

But… has it been altered? It’s an odd crotch grabbing pose.

Lovely and natural 🙂

The 11th birthday photo, today.
