He just really looks annoyed of his "job" as a Prince.

Well, he works 5 days a week I think, a 'normal' job. But I agree, he is extremely uncomfortable in his role as prince, always have been too. And his social skills don't seem to be too good either. I actually think that he isn't too sorry he isn't in the line of succession anymore.

Personally I have more problems with his wife, especially the accent which seems terribly overdone. Even the Queen and her sisters don't have such a (fake) posh accent.

She never talks about Princess Grace with love and gratitude. I noticed that too because I never heard Caroline speak about her mother. But I remember seeing a few pictures of Princess Caroline crying at Princess Grace's funeral. I beleive She loved her mother and missed her but I think she doesn't want to talk about it to the press or reporters so she keep it to herself.

Hi Chantal-pretty name!

I am certain that the Princess misses and loved her mother too. But I get the feeling that the older she gets the more resentful she feels about the errors she made in her youth. Princess Caroline like both her siblings was quite spoiled growing up. I have never once heard Caroline take responsibility for any mistakes she has made. In addition when I saw photos of her sailing last September during the exhibit marking the 25th anniversary of the death of Princess Grace it struck me as strange that Albert and Stephanie attended, but Caroline apparently couldn't be bothered to make the effort.

I found it annoying.

Princess Caroline is intriguing and I'm sure she deeply loved her mother, perhaps so much that she still can't cope with her death. It might be a reason to her refusal of talking about Princess Grace.

Hi TT,

See that's the problem. She can talk about her alright and on several occasions she has. It's just always in a way that sounds like she is rebuking her mother for her strict Catholicism and obsession with appearances(as Caroline saw it) I even read very recently where she recalls a memory of her mother coming into the nursery to kiss her good night before some big State occasion and saying "now don't muss my hair, don't mess up my makeup"...I mean come on! How about mentioning the Grace who used to act out storybook tales to amuse you at bedtime?? Caroline just sounds spoilt and petulant when she speaks of her childhood and her youth.

Well, after having read this thread, I have laughed, nodded, shook my head-agreed and disagreed with royals listed.

I rather like Prince EA--I think he's charming and amiable. Those are nice qualities.
I like The Duchess of Cornwall--she is hardworking and gracious and makes the future King happy.
I don't really have an opinion about PRincess Letizia--she's seems to be a little full of herself
I do like CP Mary--she's warm and affectionate--and probably the most beautiful of them all.

And now-- the Royal I find to be most annoying is......................
well, there are two---
Prince Andrew, Duke of York (he spends too much money) and his daughter, Princess Beatrice. I know she is young so I reserve the right to change my mind in the years to come, but for now I see her as a party loving spoiled child who doesn't do anything.

Yes, but she was the eldest. That's sometimes hard to bear because you feel let down by your mother since she has to take care of the youngest. Imagine with a Princess title on the shoulders ! Caroline may have suffered of a lack of attention and never found a way to express it to her mother.

Caroline resented the fact that by the time Stephanie came along, Grace and Rainier had relaxed a bit and gave the baby of the family liberties that they denied Caroline. The princess has said this many times. I guess I can't blame her. Oh, by the way Stephanie is annoying too, and Albert LOL!

I frankly find all three of them spoiled and oversexed. Albert seems almost defiant in his determination to shirk his responsibility to marry and beget an heir for his dynasty, which is one of the primary responsibilities of any ruler. His image is really at a low point now.

Top 3:

1. Princess Ragnhild, first she talks snidely about family members ( Crownprince Haakon and Princess Märtha Louise). And she not attendig King Harald`s 70th birthday.

2. Princess Marie-Chantal, She`s so full of herself and really grumpy.

3. Princess Letizia, she always looks so cold and distant

The only time I read about Caroline talking about her mother was in a book where she seemed to be very evenhanded.

She did say that her mother pressured her to marry Philippe Junot for fear of making a scandal but when she complained to her mother about Philippe in the marriage she said she was surprised her strict Catholic mother told her to get a divorce. Apparently Grace said that her change of heart was that religion was supposed to make you happy not sad.

I got the feeling that Caroline and Albert wanted to dispel the myth that they had a perfect storybook childhood with a beautiful princess mother and dashing prince charming father and they wanted people to see them as a real family who tried and made some mistakes but they really loved each other.

Well since you all are so annoyed by Prince Andrew, I think I'll take him. A hell of being annoyed by this good looking, charming hunk 24 hours a day is a punishment I will gladly take to spare the rest of you!

Ysbel, the sacrifices you are willing to make for our happiness warms my heart! I have no doubt you would make a very lovely Ysbel, The Duchess of York

I truly dislike the Younger British Royals always being drunk and going to certain known Clubs where they know they will be photographed in somesort of scandalous behavior...also the wannabe Princess Kate, mooching and not getting a job.

I respect your opinion, but I do not agree with you in absolutely.

Letizia is neither cold nor distant. Rather, she always has been warm, loving and affectionate with everyone. There are thousands and thousands of images and videos of Letizia where she shows, constantly,her affection and warmth towards people,further, her smile is quite natural and not forced. So...I am really surprised that you think that about princess Letizia. But as I said before, I respect your point of view.

The only royal I find annoying is former King Gyanendra og Nepal - and I am not alone - his own people thinks the same.

By december 2007 a deal was made between the government and the maoist party to replacing the monarcy with a republic after a general election to be hold in 2008.

Not all royals deserve the respect of their people - and this one does not. Botton line is - he is nothing but a corrupt and murderous son of a bitch.

As for the rest of the royals - I really don't finde any of them annoying and I don't understand why anybody can single one or two out in particular to be more annoying then the others.

Thank you for saying my name is pretty, California Dreamin

I read all of the comments you, The Truth and Ysbel made about Monaco royal family. That was interesting comments you all made. I can find Princess Caroline, Princess Stephanie and Prince Albert annoying too but I find them interesting.

Princess Stephanie used to have lots of boyfriends in the past and married to two husbands that lasted a year. Princess Caroline is snob and can be rude but she's very smart woman and very strong person.When she got married again for the second time, she finally grew up and became mature.

And, as for Prince Albert, he is not married yet. I am still hoping he would get married one day but I think he doesn't want to get married. I think he wanted to be free and independent. I also think he's playboy who likes to flirt with women. He even have two children out of wedlock, like his younger sister, Prince Stephanie.

I find all of them annoying for doing what they did in their life but I will always love them even though, I don't know them. I am sure they are all very nice and warm people but they have problems in their life that they went through a lot, for example their parent's death, Princess Caroline's divorce and her second husband's death, Princess Stephanie's two divorces and everything. I hope they all will find happiness and sucess in their future.
