The black-and-white image depicted the siblings appearing much older than they did in the Sussexes&rsquo; most recent official photos.\n</p><p>The fake card read:<br>\n<em>&ldquo;Merry Christmas &amp; Happy New Year.

The photo shows the &lsquo;siblings&rsquo; smiling side by side, but glaring inaccuracies have caused outrage among fans and supporters of Harry and Meghan.\n</p><p>The discrepancies were evident from the outset since the couple\u2014who married in 2018\u2014did not release the image. Visible red flags included a distorted path around Lilibet\u2019s knee and the children&rsquo;s concealed hands, lending credence to claims that AI-generated images still struggle with rendering hands and feet accurately.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-47826 aligncenter src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/12%5C/467556014_1122596542982313_4975935685185025332_n.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1308\"' height='\"2048\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>One user on X expressed their dismay:<br>\n<em>&ldquo;Y\u2019all creating AI images of other people\u2019s children.
