If you're a family comprising a Prince, a Duke, a Duchess and two Princesses, it smacks a little bit of inverted snobbery to try to appear so normal. Somewhere in between that and total formality would be better, I think. But each to his own. :) Agreed.

To that end, I think this is an unusual choice, as there must be all types of royals and aristocrats who are on the receiving end of this photo. I would have imagined something a little more sophisticated but to each his own, I guess. I like the picture as a casual snapshot and think it has its charm. I'm just surprised it's on the Christmas cards. Including the second photo on the flip side of the card is a bit of overkill though. My card must be lost in the mail. Drats. :) I looked at this from the standpoint of who Prince Andrew’s audience is i.e. those to whom he’s sending photo-adorned Christmas cards.

If so, these people need to rethink their entire life focus! :) ClassyCanuck, would they really go to all that trouble to manipulate the public over the perceived informality of a Christmas card photograph of Prince Andrew and his daughters?
