A Retrospective: Rose Ball - Monaco


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Nice photos of Caroline and the rest of the family. I was wondering does anyone have any pictures of the 2006 Rose Ball? Thanks in advance!
 
I don't understand why everyone is so 'wowing' about the Bal de la Rose. It is known as an overpriced sumptuous überkitsch party, in majority attended by Russian mafia, tax-refugees, moneylaunders, outmanoeuvred actors and botoxed models.

The number of royals can be counted on one-and-a-half hand and there even are no diademes, sashes, white-ties or whatsover to be seen. Instead you see 'ladies' with sunglasses indoors. Men in white tuxedos. 'Business partners' at the main table. It could not be more a place to avoid. And that is exactly what all the other Royal Houses do..... Avoid this wrong, wrong Ball.

Bal de la Rose? Nice to comment on Stéphanies gowns. More than that, you can not make of it. A simple republican state banquet in Portugal has more grandeur.

It´s not for royals and i don´t think they are invited, it´s a benefit party, anyone who pays the 1500 euros may attend.
 
It's just an excuse to see pics of Caroline. Who cares about the other "guests"? ;-)

Indeed. Too bad the Croix-Rouge Monegasque has no any problem with accepting money with a clearly dubious background from people they should not want to be associated with.... And too bad that the princely family keeps itself not far away from them.

Who cares where the money comes from? The banks in Monaco are full of money of an uncertain origin, bit what can they do? Any way i expect these parties anxiously every year to see my favourite princess. BTW, the Ball de la Rose collects money for the P. Grace Foundation, for the Croix Rouge there´s another ball.
 
The Rose Ball of 1982 had amazing theme: evereone in white. I like especially Stephanie's dress. I know each Red Rose ball has different "theme", the last one was reggae. I woner who is responsible for choosing it every year. Wasn't it Grace choosing "themes" in the past?
 
yeah I liked Stephanie in that dress also.

I read many times the themes was chosen by P. Caroline, don´t know if every year. I think she´s advised by the decorators.
 
Hello everyone
i've noticed that the only photos of 92's Rose Ball posted inthis trhead simply are not available... I´ve some of these pics published then by Hola that i'll try to scan and post. Pss Caroline looks so sad in the photos... as if she were somewhere else but there. And indeed she didn't atend the 91's edition of the ball, obviously!
 
Princess Caroline has a very beautiful face. She looks like her mother- Princess Grace very much. Thank you, Flowerpower for your work and photos!!!
 
For me Charlotte is a little more beautiful than her mother. And she's brunette like me. But the most beautiful was Grace.

I always thought of it as a slight to PAntoinette's daughter who always escorted her mother never recieved a bouquet of flowers- I understand that she is not a princess of the realm- but c'mon its not like Monaco has a aristocracy. Flowers should be given to all female members of the family @ official functions:cool:

Is it just me, PGrace had something special- even though she born american- she had royal persona about her-Like her parents knew it at birth to name her Grace---------I think Grace the name came from her father's sister or something like that.

She was Monaco's Goddess, if you will- after the all the infighting among the Grimaldis

I guess you are right. She had something royal...some royal "aura" that maybe many of the current royal don't have. She was the Goddess of Monaco :angel:
 
She does! She always reminds me of Catherine Deneuve.
 
Princess Grace did not have important jewels and wore loans.
The most beautiful jewels were owned by Princess Charlotte and inherited by her grand-daughter Caroline (Cartier and Fringe tiaras).
Charlène will certainly wear Princess Grace's favorite tiara we never saw anymore.
 
Does anyone have pictures of the 1977 Rose Ball?
