Interesting news from Chris Ship (ITV royal correspondent) on Twitter - the flight taking UK journalists was cancelled from Heathrow yesterday. They're waiting for BA to get a working plane. Was it delayed for a reason I wonder, was there something that they weren't supposed to see? Darren Doll coming off a plane? The journalists are in Cape Town now according to the DM. It was just a delay. Tomorrow we shall see - who knows!

ArchienormousHere are the arrival pics - he's growing exceedingly fast for a not-yet-4 month old. It's so odd how he never moves, babies of that age are never still unless they are asleep in my experience. She remembered to move him in this one, it's been noticed how he's wearing a very similar woollen bobble to one that Harry had. All those warm clothes in South Africa!

Oops - Archienormous erratum
I've had a long day - 'not-yet-4 month old' should be 'not-yet-5 month old'. He's still big for that age!

A baby has appeared at last - with video!The DM have reported that the Sussexes have taken Archie to visit Archbishop Desmond Tutu and there are a lot of pics of MM holding the baby. There is video as well and it moves! It's strange how Harry is never seen to hold it, as there are plenty of photos from his past that show that he loves babies and children. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7502237/Meghan-Markle-Prince-Harry-tea-Archbishop-Desmond-Tutu.htmlI'm not sure that it is the same baby from the christening, the shape of the head, mouth and ears look different. How come he had the same amount of hair in the christening photo that allegedly happened at the beginning of July? Look back though at previous posts about the christening photo metadata though if you need a reminder that the christening photo was taken at the beginning of May.

A further thought on 'Archie'
Even taking into account that Meg is leaning to her right in the recent photo, the baby's head is in pretty much the same position in relation to her torso as it was in the christening photos. Has this baby not grown at all in almost 3 months?

I don't know much about babies, but a lot of mothers are watching closely and they can see things that aren't right. Here is an interesting comment from Skippy's blog: "It's very obvious that it's not mm's kid. She doesn't know how to hold a baby. Harry has no interaction with the child. And the child doesn't try to reach them. They are not his parents nor spend much time with "Archie". And Archie almost started to walk off the sofa, so he is about seven months or older." skippyv20.tumblr.comAnother also said that the baby didn't respond to their voices - now that's something that I have noticed with babies, they turn towards the voices of their parents. I've also seen a reminder of something that Ellen Degeneres said - "He looks just like Harry. And he had more hair than I did at the time." www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/2019090977491/ellen-degeneres-teaming-up-with-harry-meghan-talks-archie/Has the little one been to the barbers?

I thought that Lavendel might come back for this! I am going to have an early night then get back to work tomorrow. I am not knowledgeable enough to pick up all the points you mention.

See you tomorrow UnseenI ! I may know a limited amount about babies but I do know about clothes - he's wearing socks that don't fit, look at the heels. They're half way down his foot!

Is it just the light, or do the soles look slightly grubby - as if he had been standing or even walking on the ground?

Why South Africa?Ooh, the boards are buzzing and the sugar trolls are on the attack with a vengeance... a lot of speculation about Archie being presented in South Africa, and many negative comments about the first video appearance of a real baby not being in Britain. There is speculation - has the baby been in South Africa all this time? She flew in with what was apparently a reborn doll, and will return to Britain with a baby? Some think that Archie has some of Markus Anderson's features, and he hasn't been spotted for some time. His and a surrogate's child? Harry seemed to have no genuine engagement with the baby and looked very subdued and uncomfortable in the footage with Desmond Tutu, it would be understandable if it were not his. Is The Sun trying to tell us something? Look at the age! There was also footage of her raising the child up in the air. Mothers are saying that you would never do that with a child of that age as their neck muscles are not fully formed. He does seem to be too big for that age, here's a comparison of Archie at 4 months, 19 days and George at 9 months, 26 days:

There is what looks like writing on the instep of each foot - maybe that is what you see? One other thing about yesterday - Meg managed to look quite neatly dressed and groomed for the first time on this tour. Were her PR team engaged for the big reveal, did they organise clothes, make up and a hairbrush?

That is a good one! I can't see it myself, but am not much good with pictures.

More nose odditiesI've just seen a photo from the SA tour. Those wrinkles on the left of her nose look very odd, as if it's a patch sitting on the skin, but we spotted something wrong with her nose at the US Open. Has she had some sort of surgery on it? If so, what could have caused the problem?

Surely Meghan has had more ‘work’ done on her face.
I remember from the old forum that once people start with the Botox, they have to keep on with it or they will look much worse than they would if they had never used it.
Her nose has certainly changed over the years.
Once again, there are many people who know much better than I do what to look for.

The more I look, the more confused I get! I suspect that she has had work done. By the way, I know that I seem to be obsessed with Big People, but why are H & M so much taller in the top picture in your first post? In the DM video, the other young men are on their level. They just want to drive us crazy I think. Do you know how to put pictures side by side - good for comparisons? It depends on where they're standing, it might be a slope? No I don't know how to do side by side - please PM me with instructions! ProBoards isn't very good at getting pictures side by side. It is easy enough to do, mind, if you use a photo editor. Given her age, I would be far from surprised if Meghan has had plastic surgury. She has to keep having her looks young and good. If she looks older, more haggard, people will be even more put off by her than they are now. Just my take on it.

I agree with you, she's definitely had surgery, botox, fillers... you name it. Seeing as her old school friends are 43/44 it looks as if she's fibbing about her age too. I wonder if the strange wrinkles or transparent plaster on her nose at the US Open might have followed something to stop her septum collapsing? She has been photographed with dilated pupils in bright light, gesticulating a lot, non-stop talking...

magpiejack one of the pictures that you put on the Sussex thread has caught my attention. I know that I am slightly obsessed with Big People and see them everywhere, but surely this is an example of one. Prince Harry is said to be around six feet tall. What does that make the people behind him, especially the one in the blue and white striped shirt?

Unless the Sussexes are seated or they're all on a stepped platform, the heights are all wrong. The shadows are all wrong too, everyone's face has different light falling on it; Big Person and the lady to her left are brightly lit, the guy to her left less so, but everyone behind has very little light on them at all. They're all slightly out of focus too so if the photo is genuine, they didn't have a very good photographer. I didn't realise this as I pay little attention to celebrities, but that's Adele at the back.

Yet another fake photoI have to say that the photoshopping is good with this one, but... Vancouver Island? Where are the mountains? Where is the snow on the hills? I've seen comments that there hasn't been much sun in Vancouver over Christmas and the New Year, also that the background looks more like Turkey or Greece. Why is this a different baby from the 'Christmas card'? It's interesting that you can't see Harry's eye colour - is this Harry double again? Why is the baby too big for an almost 8 month old? Why is he wearing what look like jeans on one leg and something grey or beige on the other?

I am not sure about this one. Did anyone actually say that it was the island or are we supposed to assume it?
Babies of the same age do vary enormously in size.
Maybe the leggings come in two colours or it is a scarf or shorts and leggings...I had to tilt my laptop screen to see what you meant!
Maybe Meghan wants to channel our energy by deliberately creating these pictures to get our attention and keep us guessing!

William and the baby are not photoshopped together from different elements. However, the backgroun is not their location. That is where the photoshopping is, if that helps that all.

You are usually right Avacyn. Two-tone leggings for babies do exist. Here is an example:

I don't think she has been shopped in. She looks like she has appreciable jowels, and I think that is why her face looks weird in the first picture. She is turning her head, it seems. I reckon this is a perspective trick, to make her look much smaller. The lighting makes sense for the picture, and it all looks consistent. If this helps at all?

“...why grey and blue? Why that colour combination?” Prince Charles and Prince Andrew are wearing grey and dark blue overcoats in that weird picture of them walking together at Sandringham... Then there are the American Civil War connections: the Unionists wore dark blue and the Confederate rebels grey. Could there be a civil war or two going on inside the royal family?

Wasn't there talk, some while back amongst us about there being a possible war going on between the Wales and York branches of the Royal Family? With the addition of Meghan, it might have intensified.

You are right - I think that Lavendel started the topic. It was connected to the Wars of the Roses. A lot has happened since then.
