Archie's newest christening photo... What's going on?!








Well, supposedly this is the newest photo of Archie with Prince Harry.

On first glance, lovely photo - though from far away, I could've sworn this was Princess Kate with Prince George (possibly Louis).

When looked at up close, there are several things that seem strange:

  1. What is going on with the stripe/swoop of paleness around Harry's left ear? 
    • Similarly, what is with the line through Harry's left jaw facial hair?  It's not there from earlier that same day, supposedly (see comparison photos below).
  2. Why does Megan's neck color shift so cleanly from dark to light, in a ring around her lower neck?  
  3. Why is her dress now a V-neck?  (pretty hard to see with that high brightness, but still, why? See group frontal photo below, for clear view of non-v-neckline)
  4. Also, just in general, why are both of their ears so strangely contorted (you'll need to magnify that photo above to really see it)?  See this earlier photo from the same day, below - for a view of their more normal seeming profiles.
  5. Not sure why her right finger & her nose-line are so straight, could just be the light?
  6. This does not appear to be the same baby at all.  The eyes (contour/shape - compare to the open eyes in the full-colour group photo below), cheeks, the forehead, the mouth shape...  All of it, resembles Prince George or Prince Louis, or some other baby.
  7. This appears to possibly be a different christening gown, though maybe that's the light as well.



Now, I don't know what to say about whether or not her newest photo is actually Princess Kate, because, here are comparison photos of Kate (credit to  dazzling.news ) :

and another one I just pulled off of google images:


For comparison on her neckline in general, actually seeming darker, not lighter, as you go down (celebrityinsider.org):

So, to sum up, I don't know what it going on with the newest photo, but at the very least, some rather strange photo-editing was done with a very different looking baby.

Never-mind how strange it is that this photo is at least 2 months old (possibly older, given meta-data fiasco of that original seated group photo), despite they're being first-time new parents.  

Well, I have just started this blog as a place to record my confusion because my comments were becoming too long, and I wanted an easy place to get to all the ones I might want to read:

  1. Hi DC! Harry also has mutton-chop sideburns (grounds for divorce right there) and Duchess Dumbarton's nose is straight and fine, not the IRL collapsing-ski-slope-with-a-bulge shape.

  2. None of them even look human. MM's nose? Her mouth? The picture is freakish not black-and-white arty. The baby looks like an alien with the black pupil-less eyes. Harry's face - what there is of it - doesn't seem to match the back of his head. I have never seen anything so bizarre.

  3. Welcome to the blogosphere, D.C.! I'm glad to have another place to discuss all things Sussex (and Royal, if you get into that). This is off topic, but I'm curious: are you from Canada? Did you have a relative named Margaret? Because your surname isn't that common and it's one I know very well from my mother and our English cousins. I'll never ask again if this is out of bounds, promise.

    Other than dish re the greasy pole princess and share photos of my BFFs (W&K) and their charming children, I plan to snark my life and IDK what else, but I would love Q&A sessions where we could brainstorm.

    Oh, and DC: https://gofakeyourselfmeghan.tumblr.com/
