In a surprising turn of events, the holiday card of Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Prince and Princess of Wales, has caused a stir among fans. The card, featuring the Royal couple and their three children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, raised eyebrows due to an alleged "missing finger" on the 5-year-old Prince Louis.

The black-and-white image captured the family of five, all dressed in white button-up shirts. Prince William and the boys were seen wearing dark-colored chinos, while Princess Charlotte and Kate Middleton sported denim jeans. However, it was Prince Louis' hand placement that caught the attention of eagle-eyed social media users.

Many online users pointed out that Prince Louis' hand appeared to be missing a finger in the photograph. One tweet read, "Prince Louis' finger is missing, also they have photoshopped someone else's leg onto his 😒." Another person agreed, stating, "Prince Louis' middle finger is missing, and his legs look strange."

A third observer also noticed the alleged finger anomaly and commented, "Why does Louis not have a finger, and look at Louis' leg; both legs don't look similar."

While some saw it as a "Photoshop fail," others argued that the wider gap between Prince Louis' fingers was simply due to the positioning of his hand on the armchair. They pointed out that if one looks closely, his finger on the left hand is visible and that the appearance was a result of the natural gap between his fingers being widened.

Nevertheless, there were fans who saw no issue with the image. One user shared, "If you look, his finger on the left hand is there." Another offered an explanation, saying, "His finger is folded under the arm of the chair, it's like when people put a hand in a pocket and a finger or two is outside the pocket...it happens."

Initially, when the family released the holiday card, fans were amazed at how "casual" the Prince and Princess of Wales kept the overall composition. One person even humorously remarked, "It's giving JC Penny."

The controversial holiday card has given rise to discussions about image manipulation and the scrutiny faced by public figures. Despite the differing opinions, it is clear that Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their children continue to capture the curiosity and attention of the global audience.

In other news, Kate Middleton recently shared her experiences of "nerve-wracking" hospital visits with their three children, offering a glimpse into the personal challenges faced by the Royal family.
