JAKARTA - Recently, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry released a family photo for the 2025 Christmas card, but a small detail in the photo made netizens wonder.
The Duchess of Sussex shared the photo on Instagram last weekend. The photo shows the couple posing in the middle of a forest atmosphere with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
In a fairytale-like backdrop, the family stand on a wooden bridge. Archie is seen hugging Prince Harry, while Meghan bends down to hold Lilibet's hand.
"Happy holidays! From our family to yours," the 44-year-old wrote in the caption of the photo, as quoted from Sky News.
Although many royal fans praised the photo as adorable, some people were quick to point out a number of inconsistencies, including one that made the photo look like it was 'photoshopped'.
"What happened to the editing? The back of Harry's head is missing above his hairline," a Reddit commenter commented.
"It looks like a tree branch is coming out of his head lol," another netizen joked.
"It looks like they used a stamp tool in Photoshop. The part of the head that floats above his head is clearly visible when zoomed in," added another netizen.
In addition to the alleged Photoshop error, a royal expert also highlighted other strange details in the photo that he thought were unreasonable.
Grant Harrold, a former servant to King Charles, said he was confused by the Sussexes' decision to keep their children's faces hidden.
"I feel this year's photo is a bit strange," Harrold told Express.co.uk.
"They don't want their children's faces to be seen, and I completely understand that choice. However, for me, it looks a bit strange in this photo. They are sitting in the middle, but then the children's faces are not visible. Why send a photo of children if you don't want them to be seen? For me, it doesn't make sense," he continued.
Harrold also emphasized that the Sussex's photo was very different from Prince William and Princess Catherine's 2025 Christmas card.
"Their family photos are full of confidence, while Meghan and Harry's photos still look a little strange to me," he said.
In William and Kate's family card, the couple are seen sitting on a patch of grass full of daffodil flowers with their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
"Merry Christmas to all," William and Kate wrote in the caption.
Even so, William and Kate's Christmas card also did not escape the spotlight. Some fans think the photo also looks edited in Photoshop.
"Kate looks like she was added to the photo. Her hand seems to be wearing a different shirt and she's not even holding Prince George, but something else," a Reddit user said.
"Notice how long Kate's arm is to hold her child like that. It looks like they did a bad Photoshop. Maybe I'm wrong, but this photo really confuses me." added another netizen.
SkyNews.com.au has contacted representatives for Harry, Meghan, William and Kate for further comment, but there has been no official response so far.
