I had to ignore content from a few arch royalists. You can't even crack a joke without them replying like you've just walked in their house at Christmas and pissed all over their kids, some people take Royalty far to seriously!
It may have been a direct copy, there may have been no copying at all or there may have been subconscious copying if they happened to see the advert around. Either way I don’t think it matters that much and as my previous comment said when I saw the royal photo it reminded me of an advert and my mother said the same.Actually the first action photo is very famously a series of twelve action photos of a galloping horse taken in 1878, more than a hundred years ago. I knew the photos but just had to check the 19th century date.
The first Kodak camera with film for 100 photos went on sale in 1888; it required to be sent back to the factory for processing but it was certainly available to the more casual if richer consumer as opposed to dedicated photographers whether amateur or professional.
I may have said within the past two hundred years but action photos were taken and the first general public camera available to the casual photographer were both produced over a century ago, NOT within the last hundred years, but 146 years for the first and 136 for the second.
I'm not particularly a royalist but I prefer a constitutional monarchy to several examples of presidents worldwide. I do find it embarrassing when people don't know accurate history though. I also find it risible when people think that a pretty stereotypical family holiday shot is specifically copied from a recent advert.

I dont go on the M&H thread because I don’t believe they’re as awful as portrayed and that it’s a much more nuanced situation, but because of it being Tattle I know what to expect on the thread, so I don’t go there. Yet on this thread we are constantly having people try to put sunken our place for having opinions other than “OMG WanK are amazing” and then show us a YouGov poll proving how wrong we are for not liking them. The ignore button is very useful!I had to ignore content from a few arch royalists.

Totally agree, so much sensitivity, this happens with irl conversations about royals as well. The spats I’ve go into for daring to suggest Catherine is anything other than perfect or that I’m not actually required to mourn the passing of QEII. People have been ready to drag me to the Tower of London and have me publicly executed for treason!I don’t think anyone did, it was humour?

I lived in London for ten years and pretty much all my pals there were British 'subjects'. But I don't recall the Royals being even mentioned much in conversation and severa ofl them were even quite Republican.Totally agree, so much sensitivity, this happens with irl conversations about royals as well.

I find they can come up in general conversations occasionally when something specific is going on, like the queen passing, a birth, a marriage etc.I lived in London for ten years and pretty much all my pals there were British 'subjects'.

So the Royal stan culture thankfully eluded me. I fully admit to being fascinated by the institution and the history and all the DRAMA but as individuals? Meh.
Oh 100%, I was living there when Diana died (even went to Kensington a week or two later out of morbid curiosity) but without their dysfunctional (at times) drama they wpuld be largely ignored I thinkI find they can come up in general conversations occasionally when something specific is going on, like the queen passing, a birth, a marriage etc.
Seeing what I have of her family, the step brother and sister I would not have invited them. The Father was invitedOr maybe they are just dickheads so she didn't invite them? Every family has them.
I highly doubt they'd be running up to celebs slagging her off. They'd be quiet and enjoy the day then sell the story later.
Beyond cringeThe TikTok footage of Prince William and Princess Charlotte dancing at Taylor swift is so wholesome
Christ, I'm 51 and can dance a lot cooler that that.Beyond cringe
Maybe he was having an extreme allergic reaction to being so close to so many commoners.Christ, I'm 51 and can dance a lot cooler that that.
Didnt need the selfie with Taylor to be plastered everywhere. So many kids who could never even dream to be able to afford to go and they rub it in all their faces. Poor Charlotte is looking more and more like William in the photos, I’d never really noticed it before.Good for him! He’d be criticised if he sat still… if he swayed slightly… if he lay on the floor… whatever he did- Looks like he and the kids had a good time!
That is probably the best thing that happened those kids all year- Delighted for them and lovely to see those pictures of them looking so happy- I don’t begrudge them that happiness when their grandfather and mum are seriously illDidnt need the selfie with Taylor to be plastered everywhere.

Bizarre that a daughter looks like her DadDidnt need the selfie with Taylor to be plastered everywhere.
