“Dark”, “grim”, “spooky” … The greeting card of Prince William, Kate Middleton and their children, published on Saturday, December 9, is far from unanimous.
“This is by no means a Christmas photo.” For Internet users, the verdict is final. Many people actually criticized Prince William, Kate Middleton and their children’s birthday card on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, December 9. “Our family Christmas card for 2023,” we can read in the caption of the post. A black-and-white immortalized photo by photographer Josh Shinner of Wales standing, except for Princess Charlotte, who is sitting in an armchair. All are dressed in crisp shirts and dark trousers. If the image collected more than 140,000 “likes”, it was not to the taste of all Internet users.

“The Addams Family”
“It’s a beautiful family portrait… But please don’t call it a Christmas card,” @DemetraAutmn said. (…) You should look up in the dictionary or Google what it means.” Comment shared by @LichterfeldAxe1: “It’s such a terrible photo… for Christmas,” he commented.
Others really deplored the dark side of this portrait. “Did you all give up or something? said @JeniRockett in exasperation. It’s a beautiful family, but maybe a little cheer and color for a more appropriate occasion.” Dana Wycliffe confirmed. “The lack of holiday cheer makes this shot bleak and tasteless.” “The Addams Family,” quipped @mirabellmayack.

LISTEN TO THE PODCAST!
Kudos to Princess Charlotte!
The style of the image drew ridicule from some netizens. “Is it black and white because you’re from ancient history?” quipped one of them. But also. “No matter how lovely your family is, you can’t afford a Christmas tree?” Some have therefore taken to altering the portrait by adding trees and Christmas hats.
Despite these negative comments, there is one person in this photo who has been praised by netizens: Princess Charlotte. “Charlotte is an exact copy of William (heart emoji),” wrote @TheMorrisLand. “Princess Charlotte has grown up so much,” enthused @LouiseMensch. She is beautiful and looks a lot like Queen Elizabeth.” Some fans were more forgiving, saying the family was “beautiful” and their children were “growing up so fast”. A true return to the Christmas spirit.
