Is that a cigarette in his hands? He was 12 years old in 1955.
Well, the princess is downing a bottle of fortified wine, so it would seem that’s just par for the course.
When I was 14, my parents ordered a bottle of wine in a restaurant and asked, if I wanted a glass. Nobody thought twice about it.
all around the world including in most US states minors are legally allowed alcohol with their parents consent.
In 8 US states minors can drink at restaurants with their parents permission but in practice you very rarely see it!
I was smoking at 12 in France in 1999, I told tobacconists I was buying them for my mom. Pulled the same thing off in the states when I moved there 2 years later. And I was far from alone. These are far more recent (terrible, obviously) habits than you might think.
Started smoking at 12 too, also in the 90s. Quit in high-school.
Looks like someone wanted them to pose as such to make a funny photo

Good point! But you can also just wear rings on any finger whenever you fancy
In Germany usually the wedding ring is on the right hand not on the left.
Source? But their hands look like poor AI garbage…
No they dont?
Yeah that’s a great source but how did they made the hands so AI-looking back in 2011 🤨
My dude, I’ve had this pic on my PC since 2014.
Those look like normal hands to me
