Its so humiliating. I don't understand why any woman would allow herself to be treated this way. I guess its just the allure of being part of that jet set world. I guess money can do that to people. Charlene has a taste of it and now shes back for more.

Women with low self-esteem or feel that marriage to a public figure is the only way they can validate themselves behave this way. Charlene has a lot to be proud of (her discipline, talent, etc) but she didn't reach her goal of winning an Olympic medal or world championship so she is looking for another way to grasp on to that brass ring.

Rainier in most cases was able to protect his children, particularly Albert, from themselves. It was easier to let Caroline and Stephanie go off and make their mistakes however public they may have been b/c the future of the monarchy didn't depend on them or their reputations. Albert probably assumed that anything private would stay private and is now paying for his past indescretions literally and figuratively.

Neither do I but I think it has a lot to do with everyone's need for instant gratification and the world's fascination with "celebutantes." People crave fame and will do anything, no matter how degrading, to get it. Society glorifies living in the public eye (i.e, the Jessica Simpson-Nick Lachey debacle or Pam Anderson and Kid Rock) and bad behaviour (i.e, Paris Hilton). Acting trashy is now the new standard.
