69th Grand Prix de Monaco - 2011

In the meantime, where was P. Caroline?!?

They were probably playing the national anthem of the winner and she would therefore not be smiling.

I love this pic of Charlotte and Andrea!
I could be way off, but my impression has been that Charlotte is not as close to Andrea as she is to Pierre. Anyway, very nice touching photo.

Post - Grand Prix, it transpired that the economy of Monaco has had two difficult years, due to the downturn.

However, Monaco Télécom reports today that, "after two years of downturn, the unpredictability of the Monaco Grand Prix has been upheld totally..... the notoriety of this test is all the better for the Principality...

[FanofMonaco]

Monaco 24/7 said that they sold out all 30,000 seats and had an estimated crowd of 100,000. Sounds like they had a great turnout.

Princess Beatrice and Eugenie were apparently present. In previous years Sarah, Duchess of York has often been present courtesy of Paddy McNally.
Prince and Princess Michael of Kent usually go as well, [He is president of the RAC from memory (Royal Automobile Club)] but I have not yet seen any pictures of them.

[Renata4711]

It was nice to see Louis on the day before the GP practice.

He doesn't seem to like being in the limelight, though ...... but that's his privilege.

Charlotte's saving grace is definitely her sweeter than sweet relationship with her family members, particularly Albert and Pierre. I, too, got the impression that she and Andrea were not as close as she is to Pierre; understandable, considering Char & Pierre are like one year apart. But the only pictures of her I found appealing in this whole batch were the ones where she was hugging Albert and smiling at Andrea & Pierre.

Otherwise, she's got a beautiful face but she sure knows how to twist it into the haughtiest, most unattractive expressions. The picture where she's making no expression at all and her hair is tied up on the top of her head is the prettiest though. She looks good there.

Also, the dress is cute but I don't like it so much on Charlotte 2011. Maybe on 2006-07, more fleshy Charlotte, it would've looked good, but I feel like it doesn't do her newly toned body any favors. I wish she would've gone with something more flowy, kind of like the dress she wore to the AMFAR event, only not Charnel. Maybe Jason Wu.

P. S. The boys look awesome! This is the best I've seen Andrea in a while! And Pierre as always is the sexiest!

[Horseygal]

Andrea and Charlotte look hot and sexy! I love that Andrea has let his hair grow back a little longer - he just looks wonderful! Charlene looks lovely, too. Unless I missed her, where is Princess Caroline?

Eugenie? Are you sure? I haven't seen any pics of her attending the Grand Prix.


Horseygal, like last year, Princess Caroline did not attend.


By the way I've spotted two royal guests attending the gala dinner on Sunday,
Prince Pieter-Christiaan and Princess Anita of the Netherlands attended! You
can see them in the background of the pictures:

And here's an additional gallery from Billed-Bladet.

An article from Hola, also with a gallery and a hellomagazine link!

Was Andrea Casiraghi the one who successfully dived and retrieved the F1 Flag last week?

[azure]

Charlene was really chic in the gala! Out of subject but: I really liked the style of Jessica Michibata, the gf of Jenson Button. Her dress in the GP was wonderful!
As Renata4711 mentioned, it's really nice to see at least one of the kids of Stephanie. I missed Louis, Camille and Pauline.

[Horseygal]

I agree with so many that, as Pierre continues to mature, he looks more and more like his father, Stephano. I always thought, of all the kids, he looks most like his father. They all appear to be having such a great time, and Alexandra is well received by her step brother - they are such a close family, love that!

[Renata4711]

All in all, it's been really nice to see all the Casiraghi gang with their girlfriends/boyfriends in one place !

This show will run and run....

[Moonmaiden23]

Is the lady on CW's left Pr Caroline's friend Khadija Nin? She looks...different somehow.

[iceflower]

I don't think it's her (the post you are referring to has been deleted as the pics had already been posted).
I've made a montage so that you can compare them, on the right pic it's Khadja Nin attending the gala
dinner on Sunday:


** Comparison **

[Moonmaiden23]

Oh...thank you iceflower! That is the beautiful lady I am used to seeing...I was confused there for a minute!

I can't stand Ms Nin's outfit, but I think she is stunning.
