Have you ever had the problem of wanting to take a photograph of the family, but couldn’t find a time when all could be there?

It seems the Spanish Royal family did this year. When their Christmas card went out, observers who scan these things noticed that some poses were familiar. Others a little strange, with arms missing and limbs askew. King Juan Carlos appears legless, for instance, not a condition he would wish to be associated with.

Officials have confirmed that the photo was a composite, comprised of some poses taken at the wedding of Crown Prince Felipe last year.

It happens to the best of us.
