Wow...Beatrice was there? That's interesting. Her outfit looks very chic. And Alex looks so grown up!

[CasiraghiTrio]

Yeah everyone looks nice and happy. I'm curious though, what did Stephanie feed the elephants? This is the first year, I think, that the scarves are blue. In Rainier's time, they were always the national colors and then since 2006 they seemed to be always yellow and white. Now blue, I suppose to distinguish the 35th year?

Who is the little boy? Is he one of Christian de Massy's boys? And I think Marco Casiraghi was there?

[Rebafan81]

Wow is Pauline beautiful, it is nice being able to see more of her. Hopefully we will see more pics of her and Princess Alexandra

I like seeing Stephanie, i miss her on the spotlight. The same goes for her children.
But i hate seeing those animals on the circuses. Not a pleasant thing to watch.

Yeah, I know, sometimes it really is kind of unsettling, like the acts involving fire. But I like what Stephanie told Nice Matin. She said that they treat the animals extremely well (and I really trust Stephanie because she strikes me as an honest person) and also she made an interesting comment. She said that circus animals are treated better than horses in the equestrian sports. I wonder how Charlotte would feel about that comment. But I can't help feel that Stephanie is right! I think the jumping horses have a hard life, especially when they are old. Anyway, these are all nice pictures. Alexandra is prettier every time we see her. Her hair is so long and lovely. She has the aura of elegance just like her mother. Alexandra has better posture than Charlotte. But I think Charlotte's posture issues may be from horse riding.
