    But at least he (very sensibly) IS using a walking stick. And a real one, not one of those strange things the late Queen insisted of using.

     

    Agreed, the kind with a hook are much more useful and versatile than the others.  I don't need a walking stick but I always take one when walking in the countryside, especially with dogs. 

    It comes in handy for all sorts of things.  Bashing down nettles, pulling down branches to reach fruit, testing the depth of water, holding back brambles .....

     

    I once saw an old man who had fallen on the pavement (I was driving in traffic, so couldn't help). He was beside some railings and he had hooked his walking stick around the top bar and was managing to pull himself up.

    I mean, I kind of get it. The future queen hasn't been seen in months. Why have a picture with the children anyway?

     

    1.  She hasn't been seen because she's been ill and is recovering from debilitating surgery.

    2.  Because they regularly post family photos, and it was to mark Mother's Day.

     

    This whole thing is utterly ridiculous.  Practically every celeb photo published has been edited in some way, why don't they "kill" those?

    Wait a minute!

    Are you telling me that photos are sometimes altered before publication to make the people in them look slightly better?

    Well fuck me sideways!!

     

    So these agencies are accusing the Prince & Princess of Wales of lying and deception?  Nice.

     

    Ridiculous, isn't it. It's particularly common with young children in the photo as they tend to fidget and mess about and it's difficult to get one shot where everybody kept still.

    So you lift a better image from another shot and paste it in.

    I remember the photo of the late Queen with her great-grandchildren had people crying "photoshop" because it looked as it Louis had been pasted in. Most likely he was, so what?

     

    ETA Here's a sensible deconstruction of the offending photo.

    Hmmm, if you're trying to dispel social media rumours about Kate and William, it's probably not a good idea to put out a photo of Kate without her wedding ring or engagement ring

     

     

    A thoughtless comment, but not surprising considering the source.  It's likely that the rings don't currently fit.  The Princess was very thin before her surgery and she may well have been given steroids during her treatment which cause swelling and puffiness.

  11. He wasn't far off the age of consent (!) especially if the lady concerned was under 18.

    Wikipedia:
     

    Quote


    The age of consent in Italy is 14 years, with a close-in-age exception that allows those aged 13 to engage in sexual activity with partners who are under the age of 18, provided that the age gap between them is less than 4 years (i.e. if the partners are all under the age of 18, but at least 13). The age of consent rises to 16 if one of the participants has some kind of influence on the other (e.g. parent - being a natural or an adoptive one, teacher, tutor, etc.). Not knowing that the victim is underage is not a legal defense, except when it was unavoidable ignorance.
