Prince William and Princess Catherine also shared the photo on their official Instagram account, much to the delight of their followers. In the caption, they reminisced about festive memories and emphasized the significance of early years in shaping our lives. Royal fans expressed their joy in the comments section, with one exclaiming how gorgeous baby Catherine looked, resembling her twin, Louis. Another commenter found Louis incredibly adorable, noting the resemblance to his mother. A third admirer pointed out the shared childhood memory of having the same place mats.
The release of this new photo of Princess Catherine seemingly countered Meghan Markle's recent move. Reports had circulated that Meghan and Harry accused the Waleses of employing a child actor to impersonate Louis and claimed that the Waleses had photoshopped their Christmas card. However, the photo of Catherine dispelled those rumors, as Prince Louis was clearly present and had extended his fingers, contrary to the allegations.
Furthermore, Megan Markle became the subject of mockery on Saturday Night Live, as the show's cast members took aim at Prince William and Princess Catherine's Christmas card. The skit highlighted a supposed Photoshop mishap, suggesting that Prince Louis' finger appeared to be missing. In response, Megan humorously offered her own finger as a replacement. However, it was later revealed that Prince Louis' finger was not missing, and the joke was based on a misinterpretation. This incident adds to a series of satirical portrayals and jokes targeting Megan Markle, including a previous SNL skit that poked fun at speculations surrounding her and Prince Harry attending King Charles' coronation.
Overall, the release of the endearing photo of Princess Catherine served as a delightful surprise for royal enthusiasts, while successfully countering the trickery alleged by the Sussex camp.
