Charlene has a nice relationship with Ernst, doesn't she?

the fireworks are on now, so we should see some pics from the dance soon

I think the Casiraghis are involved in family activities as long as they dont have other plans and that is good. They dont really need to be in all the official activities of Monaco and people shouldnt wait them to do that. It is healthy because i think they already get too much attention from the press and it is probably very difficult to have all that extra, unwanted attention when you have their age.

i don't know why charlene is receiving a lot of animosity because of her broad shoulders -- celebrate the fact that this is a strong girl, athletic and well-structured. i think she looks great. and should she end up being princess, she would so stand out with that physique.

stephanie is also broad shouldered, isn't she?

let's distribute the love ...

I want to nit-pick on dresses, but why bother. They all look lovely. Including Charlene. (is her dress green or black or both?)
I just wish that the siblings did not look to stressed out next to each other.
There was 1 pic were it looked as if Stephanie was looking up at the ceiling and Caro ws looking in the other direction and looking as if she would rather be any otehr place in the world other than right there.
Well I'm off for the weekend and I hope to come back on Monday and find lots of beautiful pictures waiting for me!!!!
have a great weekend everyone!

It looks like Albert and Charlene are holding hands across the table.

At least Albert's talking to her in that picture, it's the first one I've seen of him paying any attention to her. I hadn't noticed any from the Ball and from the night of the orchestra's performance.

Edit: Umm, I don't think they're holding hands, you can see both her arms clearly..on her side of the table.

I agree. It makes Charlene look very statuesque because of them. I think she looks great and I like her hair. She seems more confident in these photos.
I love Stefanie's dress! But Caroline, oh dear! I don't like anything about her dress! I really tried to find something positive to say... but... nope... sorry. She should've worn something more sleek and glamorous to go with her new "chic" hairstyle.
Whatsup with Karl Lagerfield's gold gloves. Is he trying to be like Michael Jackson or something?
I hadn't seen Pierre's gf before - she's cute... and he looks like he's having a great time.

To tbhrc. Thanks for the pics . They are great. Happy belated birthday. Charlene looks very elegant her hair is lovely as is her dress. Yes she has broad shoulders. But most swimmers do, dont they? Whats with Carolines dress. Glad to see Stephanie out and about.

[marakimou]

Wow, PA looks very handsome in his white tux. The ladies look nice enough, no one dress is amazing, but what stands out is Stephanie's skin. She should have been wearing sunblock all these years. She looks much older than she is.

I can see both of Charlene's hands and Albert's arms. Its almost like they took pains to not be snapped too close or looking at each other lest another tabloid wax poetic upon it.

He does seem quite focused on what she is saying. Maybe it's just the noise from the room? I don't like her dress, however. It's just not my taste and I think Caroline was misled as well. She seems a little calmer than she has in the past at more formal events...

I guess I always expected someone with more natural grace -- like Albert's mother or Jackie Kennedy.

I agree. She is so elegant that she can wear whatever she wants and looks great.
