Royal Wedding (grumpy old man response :-)

How more special can a special occasion get?
There are "official" pictures online from Winsor Castle showing the happy family group. What a shame nobody cared to straighten the frame before posting the image. This causes the result to seem unfortunately amateurish, I wonder what went wrong?

Maybe they were using MS Paint?

Maybe its an attempt at art.

I remember previous royal bro wedding picture at Walmart. Total crapshoot.
Maybe it is part of the image. "Look, our wedding pictures are as crappy as yours". My wedding pictures were taken by some photog who crocked the horizon. I think, he was wasted. This is good wedding, if everyone is wasted. Pictures should match.

After this tirade here, any chance that DT had of a state visit to the U.K. has vanished forever

Could be; but I'm not too sure. Very few in the picture seem to have waists.

This has the same interest to me as a Hollywood wedding (none). It's really the same thing. The Royal family is just a classy version of the Kardashians. If you are covered by the paparazzi, you know how irrelevant you really are.

Amen, Brother.

Yet despite this truth there are lots of folks who are fascinated by these irrelevant people.

Thank you, nevertheless you took the time to respond.

No, the Kardashians depend on selling themselves to network television for their wealth, the British monarchy is paid for by the UK government out of public funds.

For the "official portrait" that this thread is about no paparazzi were involved. However if they had been then I would expect the picture editor responsible for buying the paparazzi work to insist on normal image editing before release.

I tracked down the official portrait and it definitely was taken at an angle so everything is skewed. Who cares? I won't be sticking it up on my refrigerator.

So the Kardashians, like them or not, have to expend effort for their wealth.
