In order to sell a toy on Amazon, a company hijacked a photo of Prince George. While this outraged the British, the photomontage was removed and an apology was issued.
- The image of Prince George has been used without permission from the British Royal Family.
- To sell a toy, a company hijacked a photo of the little boy.
- The photomontage has since been deleted.
Crockery, cousins, pens, key rings… For many years, various objects bearing the effigy of members of the British royal family have been sold in the United Kingdom. If Prince William and Kate Middleton allowed photos of their children to be used on objects shortly after their birth, they refuse that the latter are victims of photomontage. However, to promote plastic machetes at 19.99 pounds, the Zhou-long company hijacked a photo posted on the third birthday of Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis’ brother George. On this one, we can indeed see the little boy holding a fake sword in his hand.
For the Sun, a fellow British citizen, Frank Aldridge, who saw the deception, said: “I was looking for gift ideas for my grandkids and almost dropped my cup of tea. Now Prince George looked like an extra from Pirates of the Caribbean. I assumed it didn’t get the royal family’s approval.“Following this report, Amazon removed this photo and reminded that sellers who did not respect their decision would have their account deleted. For the Sun, a spokesperson indeed assured: “All sellers must follow our guidelines and those who do not will be subject to action, including potential deletion of their account.“
The behavior of Prince George deciphered
From the top of his nine years, it is then that he is now second in the order of succession to the British throne, that the prince george has more and more responsibilities. For the Mirror, Judi James, who presents herself as an expert in body language, assured that the little boy had gained confidence. Referring to the walk to St Mary Magdalene Church, Sandringham, she said: “William and Kate have shown the usual signs of pride and it’s clear they are now becoming ‘hands off’ parents as their children gain confidence.Finally, she added:George went from being a shy boy, holding his father’s hand, to being an older brother keeping an eye on Louis.“
