Recently, a peculiar Christmas card has been making waves across social media, sparking quite a bit of conversation and concern among royal followers. This card, which isn’t what it seems at first glance, has left many feeling unsettled.
It’s a fake card, surprisingly crafted with the power of AI technology, featuring images purported to be of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children. As you can imagine, this has gone viral, creating a stir among fans of the royals.
One enthusiastic royal fan took it upon themselves to create this holiday card, presumably to entertain the community. However, opinions were divided, with many finding the gesture eerie and unwelcome.
The creator seemed to aim at offering an imaginative glimpse of Prince Harry and Meghan’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who are rarely seen by the public.
The black-and-white image shows an AI-conceived version of Archie in a sweater and cargo pants, standing next to his little sister Lilibet, clad in a floral dress she’s worn in genuine family cards previously released by the couple.
The greeting card cheerfully wishes all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Yet, upon its circulation, many commentators were quick to label the card as unnervingly artificial, much to the couple’s likely relief, as the images don’t mimic their real children closely.
To some observers, the card is not just creepy but viewed as a complete misrepresentation and even an affront to the family’s privacy and image. It leaves us wondering: How do you feel about this AI-generated holiday card and its implications?
