Hadn’t heard about the hand, but people but with sharper eyes than I have also called out these bits:
Re. the first - the cheap chain store clothes I grew up in often had badly printed patterns but I guess we don’t expect that in the Windsor Wardrobe
What’s the problem with the second one though?
(Is it the suggestion of bird droppings on the wall, which obviously is Not Allowed In Our Royal Gardens? ;-))

If you believe Kate is actually the one doing the photo editing, I hear the old London Bridge is available for pennies on the dollar (or pound.)

Kate Middleton has had a face swap with Nicolas Cage. Cage is now an English princess raising 3 kids, and Kate is relaxing in a Nevada RV campground.

You now have me using my trackball with both my hands having fingers crossed like that. I hope you’re happy.

Jesus, I can’t, either hand. I’m such a SERF! Can’t roll my damn tongue either.
I can Spock salute all day long though. Can even Pacman them both open-closed, open-closed, like Edward Scissorhands or something. I’m not totally useless…
