"I'm Princess Alexandra Charlotte Caroline Margaret Elizabeth...Chadwick...of Number 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney, Australia...Princess of My Back Yard, and all of my Front Garden, and of all the lands of my Bathroom."

42 Wallaby Way... ha ha i LOVE Finding Nemo... great movie... I'd get confused too... Imagine being their mother and having to yell at them... you'd start making up names all the time

[meganjoston]

Honoré II of Monaco changed the status of Monaco from a Lordship (Seigneurie) to a Principality (Principauté) in 1612. As a Principality it is always ruled by a Prince. Rainier III is the Reigning Prince (Prince régnant ) whereas Albert is the Hereditary Prince (Prince héréditaire). When Albert succeeds his father, he will be the Reigning Prince of Monaco.

French is the official language of Monaco. The two main languages there besides French are Italian and English (spoken by foreigners). Monaco also has its own traditional dialect which is a blend between Italian and French and is very similar to Provençal.

It IS KNOWN THAT AMONG STEFANO CASIRAGHI AND STEPHANIE ALWAYS EXISTIO A GREAT FRIENDSHIP. SINCE ITSELF KNEW WENT VERY NEARBY, VERY FRIENDS. THEY THEMSELVES QUERIAN A GREAT DEAL AND IS BECAUSE OF IT THAT THE CHILDREN OF STEFANO WORSHIP TO ITS TIA, BECAUSE KNOW ABOUT THE GREAT AFFECTION THAT ITS FATHER SENTIO BY HER. :flower:

FRIENDS FOREVER

:flower: S&S

I read many times that the Casiraghis don't have tittles or prince/princess in front of their names because Caroline decided so. Stephanie's kids don't have tittles or prince/princess in front of their names either. But I never read anything about the reason. So, here's my question(s): Was that a choice too? Does she have that right being the last born girl?

[Jacqueline]

Actually, I have always believed that the children weren't titled because their fathers were commoners who are not royal nor titled members of aristocracy. It isn't my knowledge that children born to Princesses of Monaco can inherit titles of any kind if their father is a commoner.

[anne1]

Also no royal titles were bestowed on them in the hope that they would be able to lead a normal life, far from the turmoil which seems part and parcel of modern monarchy.

[rarotonga]

A similar discussion was brought up and it was said that the reason that Caroline's and Stephanie's children do not have titles is because the title is passed down only through the male line. That was changed with the 2002 constitutional amendment allowing one of Albert's sisters to inherit should he remain childless.

That's a topic I'm curious for a long time. I always read in this board that Camille is considered a classic beauty here. But I always thought that all of Stephanie's side of the family(Steph, Louis, Pauline and Camille) are a mixture of classic and exotic beauties. In my opinion, the only 100% classic beauty in the family is Grace. Also I think that 100% exotic beauty is the kind of beauty that Charlotte and Alexandra have. Based on that, I get to an obvious conclusion: we all have different patterns to define a classic or exotic beauty. Camille is blond, milk skinned and blue eyed, what is certainly a sine of classic beauty. But I think she has other stuff that are not classic. For example her lips. Her mouth is a lot bigger than the mouth of a classic beauty. She has an exotic mouth. Her nose is not classic either, and it goes on with some features being and others not being classic. So, here's my question: What's your definition of a classic/exotic beauty? Do you personally only define by the colors? If not, which kind of features do you consider classic or exotic? If you have trouble in explaining the theory, you can explain using examples.

p.s.:I'm not talking about any kind of beauty as being good or bad. Just as being different, and each person has it's favorite one.

[Monalisa]

I agree,Caroline and Charlotte of monaco have this undefinable beauty which is surrounded by a timless aura and charisma,womaen like Catherine zeta-jones and monica bellucci have too this type of beauty

Was is the dialect called and albert is an HSH not an HRH.

[Grace]

I've got two questions, closely related: do you know the names of the Grimaldi-Casiraghi dogs? I know some of them but would like to know more...
Secondly, do you have suggestions about a name for a female dog? I found a puppy yesterday and can't think of a nice name...any idea is more than welcome; thanks in advance.

[Alexandria]

We have a thread on royals with their pets in the Royal Chit Chat forum. Have a look there for more ideas.

[Grace]

Thank you very much, I didn't know that...gonna check there.

Does anyone think that Albert will marry someday?

[rarotonga]

I think there was a poll running a few months ago on this board. The majority of replies didn't think he will ever marry. Royal watchers don't think he will marry either. I believe Leyla, a poster on this board, has also said the same thing. Prince Albert, however, in an interview last year on Hello magazine said that would like to have a family someday. Time will tell, I guess;
