So... they definitely win worst card. What the hell is that awful filter? Give me old people squinting in the sun. Oh come on, this is WAY BETTER. The squinting olds look like an accident got mailed out and they're just rolling with it. But you can see the olds clearly. I want to see Archie!

Festive scene, natural poses, artsy feel, and leaves me wanting more. Overall a win.
I’m predicting that next year people will follow Meghan’s lead and do these sketch type design cards. Although maybe it’s a trend already? I think it was discussed in a thread on GD not too long ago?

Y'all, it's horrible. If y'all used that same filter on your christmas card photos, your friends & family would be pissed. Come on.

If my friends and family were to ever admit to being pissed about a card I send them with my very own money and effort, they would cease to receive cards. Your friends and family would like to see your actual faces, not that filtered crap. Would they say it to your face? Probably not. Would they still be disappointed? Yup!

I like it, especially for people that have said they want privacy and don't want their son paraded all over. They're sending these out charities and whatnot. It's cute and personal but not too revealing.

I mean, selfishly, I hate it because I want to actually see them (well really Archie).
Do I understand why they did it? Yes absolutely.
And who knows maybe they sent cards with their visible faces on them to people they can trust not to sell the photos.

Maybe real friends and family got the actual photo version. And the rest of the world got a cute version that protects Archie’s privacy.

I'm torn. It's a great card for professionals, like the kind law offices or insurance agents send out. I fully expect there to be a business card magnet on the inside. So on the "We want privacy" side it's a win.
But it's not a personal card. It looks like she played with Instagram filters until she found one she liked. It's the kind of thing "influencers" are putting up all over and everyone says they love but are really so over already. It's impersonal and teenager-y, clutching at the current thing. To me it screams "I'm an influencer! Buy what I say I use and you can have my life too." But I think that's all the Sussex PR has been doing lately so it's in keeping with the image they have created.

I love how basically all the Christmas card pictures were shitty and showed 0 effort but Megan and Harry's which at least tries to be creative is supposed to be terrible.
I also know what my friends look like so I would still appreciate a card that isn't a picture but instead a drawing. In fact I would think it was cute.

The Sussex Fam could have put out a card that was just Text that said Merry Christmas and you guys would love and defend it. I’d love to see them squinting in the sun. Then I could see them.

Does anyone have this many feels about Christmas cards? I'm pretty sure most people would just keep it moving.

I don't think that was the Danish Christmas card. They were celebrating the 4 week of Advent. There was a video and other pictures from it as well. www.newmyroyals.com/2020/12/danish-crown-prince-family-sent.html
