Why is Prince Louis’ finger missing from Welsh family Christmas card photo: victim of Photoshop or artificial intelligence?

An unexpected detail in the Welsh family’s Christmas photo caused a revolution on social media this week. On the card, which the British princes use to record their relationship before the end of the year, users would notice that one of the fingers of Prince Louis’ hand is “missing”. From what they suggest, his finger is edited.

Portal Page Six explains that the strange way in which the minor’s hand is perceived could actually be the result of a mistake in the use of Photoshop. Only Louis would be affected in the photo, as the other members, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince George and Princess Charlotte look perfectly natural.

The photo in which Prince Louis “lost a finger”

A Christmas picture featuring Prince Louis shows that the finger he “lost” is the middle finger. Some netizens dared to claim that the 5-year-old boy’s editing could be seen even at the level of his bare legs, which would increase speculations about Photoshop.

Among the comments, some specifically read things like: “Prince Louis is missing his middle finger and his legs look weird,” “Are Prince William’s children real or fake?” Why doesn’t Louis have a finger and look at Louis’ leg? Both legs don’t look the same” and “Photoshop failed! There is an extra leg in this photo! How did the photographer not notice? Oh my God”.

Beyond speculation, there is a possibility that the “missing finger” is an error in image perception. Other users talked about the thumb being hidden and that’s why only four fingers are visible.

“It doesn’t look like Photoshop. His thumb appears to be wrapped around the back of the chair and four of his fingers are broken by the back of the chair,” and “Those are his fingers separated and the light is striking between his fingers,” were some of the observations that later appeared among the opinions of Page six.

It is worth reminding that Prince Louis of Wales is the third son of the current Princes of Wales, William and Kate, and is the third grandson of King Charles III and his first wife, Princess Diana of Wales. He has become a trend in the past due to his charismatic demeanor and eyes are usually on his gentle steps in the royal family.
