Harry & Meghan's 2025 Christmas Card Sparks Photoshop Backlash Over 'Missing' Head

A festive family photo has ignited a furious internet debate. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s official 2025 holiday card is facing intense scrutiny over fresh photoshop allegations, with critics pointing to everything from a 'missing' piece of Harry's head to Meghan's 'questionable' dress. The image, shared on December 19, marks another chapter in the couple's ongoing saga with digitally altered photos.

A Picture of Controversy

In the photo, the Sussexes pose with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, on a wooden bridge. But social media users quickly questioned the image's authenticity. Many pointed to a smudge near Prince Harry’s head, with one netizen writing, “What happened with the editing? The back of Harry’s head is missing above the hairline.” Others claimed the feet of both Harry and four-year-old Lilibet appeared “unnaturally” long, arguing her proportions seemed inconsistent compared to her six-year-old brother.

The criticism didn't stop there. Meghan’s slightly sheer ivory dress was also deemed “unattractive” and inappropriate for a Christmas card by several critics. The scrutiny led some to speculate on Reddit that Harry and Archie weren't in the original picture at all and were photoshopped in later.

A History of Editing Allegations

This isn't the first time the couple's photos have been questioned. Their 2024 Christmas card sparked speculation after Prince Harry appeared to have six fingers on one hand. Earlier this year, in May, a photo shared for their seventh wedding anniversary was accused of being a composite of two separate images from their 2018 tour of New Zealand.

The repeated controversies have drawn comparisons to the editing scandal involving Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, in March 2024. After major news agencies withdrew a manipulated Mother’s Day photo, Kate issued a public apology for her “experiment with editing.” Some online commentators are now speculating that Harry and Meghan's latest “terrible Photoshop” could be an intentional move to generate a similar wave of attention.
