The Real Story Behind Viral Pic of David Cameron Moving House

As David Cameron and his family prepare to leave 10 Downing Street, their home for the last six years, a picture of the outgoing British Prime Minister is widely being shared on social media. Hailed as the 'coolest thing' by some on Twitter, the picture shows Mr Cameron lugging a removal box titled 'handle with care.' Here's the thing though - this is not a picture of the Camerons currently moving out of 10 Downing Street, it dates all the way back to 2007.
 
The Internet seems to think this is a recent picture. However, the photo was actually taken when Mr Cameron was still Leader of Opposition - he became Prime Minister in 2010.

According to a Dailymail article dating back to 2007, the picture was taken when Mr Cameron and his family were moving into their new house in North Kensington, London.
 

A cursory glance shows that the former premier, now 49, looks younger in the picture and is clearly moving into a house and not out of it.

So until social media figures out that this is an old picture.
