This has probably been discussed before but I've just been looking at the photo entitled' Great Aunt Norah and Madeleine's Second Birthday.' First of all the cake is
decorated in blue and pink with two candles on it. This suggests to me that it was taken in January 2007 on the twins' second birthday. Madeleine was an all pink girl. Why would she have blue icing on HER cake? If this was January 2007 then Madeleine would have been 3, 3/4 years which looks about right and the photo was taken 3 months before the fateful holiday. Since Kate is wearing her holiday/ death certificate signing trousers for the party that time frame is probably right.
I can understand the suspicion that one of the posters has that Madeleine wore wigs .In photos of Christmas 2006 her hair is thick, straight and chin length . In January 2007 it's much longer and wispy. Impossible to have grown that much in the space of a few weeks. For her holiday in May 2007 it's shorter again though she may well have had it cut specially.
I can't honestly imagine a child wearing wigs....................I'm more inclined to believe there are two versions of Maddie! Apologies if all this has been discussed before

Could be a simple answer that they took more than 1 photo and she moved slightly

Every single one of the photos around the desk seems to be one of Madeleine that has been released to the press, including a still from video. I found this quite surprising. One would have thought there would be plenty of photos that - while not ideal for identification purposes and perhaps not good enough to release for the campaign - are associated with happy memories and time with the family. Do other people have thoughts on this?

My apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but I only recently discovered this forum. I don't know of it's been commented on elsewhere, but the "cross/squat" photo being discussed would appear to be the same pic on the wall in front of KM, to the right, in this screenshot. If someone could perhaps get a better still, it might help with comparisons.
