My point isn't just about this card.
I find it pretentious and even distasteful that people force their image on others in greetings cards.

I say again whether that's Royals, Politicians, celebrities or even my own friends or family.
None of my friends or family would even dream of putting their picture on a greetings card to anyone.

So my gripe is against anyone who does so not just these.

No furore, just I find it pathetic.
Enclose a picture with the card but to have your own image staring out from the front of it.
No thanks, not for me.
I think it's saying, look at me, look at us.
I wouldn't put a card up sent to me from whoever sent me it, if they had their own images on it.

I get family photos as Christmas cards from cousins in America, I think its lovely to see the families growing over the years with new additions, daughter in laws, son in laws, new babies, etc my nieces send cards with their children, again its nice to see them growing up, each to their own I guess
