I agree about the over analysis, don't understand why we can't just enjoy the photo for what it is, a frozen moment in a very happy day for the royal family that they chose to share!!!! I don't know how many pictures I have sifted through to find the best shot of everybody, someone blinked, or looked astray. Quite honestly it is a very good picture of everybody and I am amazed at how well they all come out in photos in general! :) William does look amused at something, like he is stifling a laugh, and Kate looks lovely, happy and lady like. But the star of this photo shoot is Archie, that's what everybody was clamoring for, right, a 'not so artful' shot so we could see his face?? And now that we have it, the vultures swoop in to pick it apart. Let's enjoy it for what it is, one beautiful photo of a beautiful moment in the lives of the British Royal Family, let them enjoy it too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-55236252987938402682019-07-10T14:51:13.853+01:002019-07-10T14:51:13.853+01:00Charlotte, this may be of interest: https://www.da...Charlotte, this may be of interest: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7232253/Dorias-chic-christening-ensemble-custom-creation-Oscar-la-Renta.html :)Gabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16854246126829174780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-75890919464523785042019-07-10T03:31:09.486+01:002019-07-10T03:31:09.486+01:00Oh my goodness!!

None of us were there, so none of us know what was said, who was told to sit where, etc. Very doubtful anyone had a choice. Usually the photographer tells the people where he wants them. Some may recall the photo where the photographer was re-arranging the people so many times that Prince Phillip yelled at him to “just take the f-ing picture.” Yes, Phillip is known for his use of profanity as well as saying what everyone else is thinking. <br /><br />Shifting gears, this may have been covered elsewhere — based on this photo, it’s interesting how similar Camiila and Meghan’s dresses are. The color, the neckline, the shift style, even the fabric look to be very similar if not the same. <br /><br />German Shepherd lover.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-65581567554028446762019-07-09T21:51:49.748+01:002019-07-09T21:51:49.748+01:00Hello! cute little Archie with red hair.

The green pillow is puffed up because Meghan is cuddling against Harry's arm. Kate is not ready to bound out of there as stupid reports are saying but is having very good posture so her dress will be viewed best and not slide up on her legs. She looks like she has an open and happy face. Will is good-naturedly amused over something, perhaps the fact that Harry got out of wearing Windsor blue. Doria is nestled up against the soon-to-be King of England, so it's not such a bad spot. She's formed a triangle with Camilla, Charles, and herself. <br /><br />I remember when H&M were dating and they went to that wedding. Photos of the two sitting at a table showed Harry to look unhappy. The analysis by body language "experts" was that he was bored and wanted to get rid of Meghan. I thought (hoped) they were discussing how Harry would like to be married and was it possible given the problems. I cannot figure out how will's expression can be interpreted as anything negative. Same for Kate. I think this is a great photo and probably was picked, as someone said, becuase it was the best of Archie, then of H&M.

It communicates that the relationships start with their parents (Charles, Camilla & Doria) to their children (H & M) then flow from there to the other family relationships. I think it's a beautiful portrayal of how the value family.Isabellanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-49214532005953632302019-07-09T14:53:08.330+01:002019-07-09T14:53:08.330+01:00I disagree.

What you ate proposing would be a symmetrical staging. That works if there are all players present and no one else. It's also a traditional, symmetrical pose. This arrangement is more artistic. Not better or worse, just different. I think it is beautiful, not only visually, but in communicating relationships. It communicates to me a kindness and relationship between Charles & Doria, love & close relationship with Diana's sisters, and of course, good relationship with William and Kate.Isabellanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-52237380494759266682019-07-09T14:33:46.657+01:002019-07-09T14:33:46.657+01:00Anna agree.Anna agree.alinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-31729104997751619622019-07-09T13:59:50.032+01:002019-07-09T13:59:50.032+01:00Border Terrier lover, you are on to something.
