Half love affair, is that like a little pregnant? ;) :D

Anyways from those pics it was pretty obvious that it wasn't just a buddy- buddy friendship. There was more emotion and complicity in those pics then I have seen in any pics of her with Albert. When you consider that shortly after the Turin pics she was talking about Albert being her soulmate and then you compare the Rome pics with all the others, then you wouldn't have guessed that she was talking about ALbert.

Thanks for the info Michelle.
Yes Thanks Michelle and Yes paca you are right- much more affection there then any I have seen between Albert and Charlene!

Please LadyMac don't compare Charlene to Princess Diana. Diana was 19/20 years old girl when she stepped into limelight, and that was in the 80's. The worse era when it comes to clothing! Charlene is 30 years old woman who's been supposedly with "Prince" for a few years now and didn't learn much yet.
I guess some people on the board are starting to believe that she might end up marrying PA so they are trying to convince themselves that she is OK for the "Princess" role, so they can ohhh and ahhh later on.
I don't think so!
RoyalP. Donna Paca.... I agree with your posts... but we know that a lot of people prefer to say aaahhhh, oooohhh and dream... that's the reason why tabloids are making money and that's the reason why some topics about politics or real life in Monaco are not visited... BUT the show is going on in Monaco because people in Monaco are hardly working

Most people are knocking the clothes she wears and it appears she is trying.
She may or she may not, I don't know. But no matter what, decency and protocol still are valid. Like being or having been a lingerie model or a porn model, is generally enough to disqualify you from ever becoming a princess. I won't mention the sickening Maldives photos as they were supposed to be "private", but for someone dating a prince, I stil think she has a poor and unappropriate, at best an unfortunate, choice of clothes. Having said that, I do have to admit that she fits right in with her future inlaws and allegedly with most of monegasque high society. :ermm:
LadyMacAlpine said:
Perhaps your's and others expectations are to high of what was and what is. No one can be Princess Grace she stood on her own. That was part of Rainier's problem with woman Albert dated they weren't meeting up to his standard which was Grace. In the end when Albert decides to marry I don't think he will care what others think of his choice just that he loves her. It's his life and he knows how he feels and what makes him happy.
Then I hope that she makes him very happy off-camera, because on-camera they both look like as happy as a balloon in a needle factory. :D

Albert blames his not being married on the paparazzi, who, he claims, have unsettled his various girlfriends, especially the American swimmer Mary Wayte, a Sharon Stone-lookalike who won a gold medal the l984 Olympics. Albert was crazy about her, he says, and evidently she felt the same way about him, but “she was one of the ones who got scared.” That his bride would inevitably be compared to Grace makes this not an easy family to come into.
Easy, blame it on the media. Other people survive. :ohmy:

Especially Olympic athletes who win gold medals as they have proven they can take the pressure. What is the saying if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen. Dealing with the press is now part of an Olympic athletes training. Now all are successful at dealing with the press but they surely can take the pressure of it. It's not as bad as putting everything you worked for in your life down to a 2 min event. JMO

You know, that's actually a very valid point. :flowers: I don't know if you are talking about CW or Mary Wayte, but it goes for the both of them. And considering that I've never seen Albert dating a non-celeb (with the exception of TR and NC - and he certainly didn't want to marry either of them!) I am now wondering about the "one of the ones who got scared". Ones, as in plural. Most would be very used to the attention and media so why would they got scared so much? Charlene seems to thrive on it. Less certain whether she handles it well or not, but she uses it in a big way.
 
Personally I do not care if Albert marries or not, and I'm not trying to defend Charlene since she's neither my sister nor my cousin (a little more Italian slang).

I was just commenting how silly Rosolino acted by going around Rome with a lady who - he perfectly knew - is the "official companion" of the ruling Prince of Monaco, who - he still knew - is chased by the razzis wherever she goes. Rome is full of paparazzis in search of celebrities (remember Andrea hitting one of them in Rome last year?). If Max wanted to keep their date secret, then he should have taken her to dine out elsewhere, as there's plently of little pictoresque villages in the surroundings of Rome, where the restaurant staff would have hardly recognized this lady. Besides - you may not know Italian mags, but Lady Michelle does, so she has to agree - the razzis would have followed them as far as the hotel where they would have had stayed, if they really did. That's how Christopher Lambert and Alba Parietti's love story came into the limelight.

Not long ago, I happened to read in a mag that before meeting Prince Albert, Charlene had had three boyfriends: the first one she was shacking up with was a fellow South African swimmer, the second one was another swimmer whose natinality I don't recall, but had he been Rosolino, the author would have surely mentioned him, don't you think so? And the last one must have been a journalist if I'm correct.

Finally if Max really wanted to dump Roberta Capua for Charlene, then he must be crazy indeed!!!:eek:

Well what a way to build one's ego Miss Italy and the known companion of a head of state. That was what he was thinking. As to Charlene well I suppose she wasn't thinking on one hand but knowing how much she likes the press, what a great way to get under Albert's male ego skin than to be photographed with a "close" friend looking very cozy indeed. One can only guess about the photos but I don't think Charlene did herself any favors with those photographs. JMO
 
Our friends forgot to add this few lines that appear at the foot of the article from alexis.it she posted:

Invece, Rosolino ha progetti matrimoniali con la danzatrice russa Natalia Titova (Instead, Rosolino is planning to marry Russian dancer Natalia Titova)

However this website is the one that reads Charlotte went to the Annabel's fashion show in London in order to meet Prince William (this article is from last week). As far as we know she met Alex Dellal instead...

Thank you for the information.
 
yes Tosca,

I agree with you about Italian magazines. But, If you want your privacy, why you should have dinner in the center of Rome?

Maybe Charlene is tryng to show that she has friends on jet Set?
For me that report on novella sounds like:
"Look at me... I'm on the gotha... I'm a glamourous swimmer, I'm girlfriend of PA, and my best friend(?) is one of most important swimmer in the world...":D

I would like to know why Charlene does not stops with these stupid things, come back to pool, and try to do something of good, ex. training hard... instead of drinking and smoking and declare that she is a PROFESSIONAL SWIMMER...A professional swimmer that (From wikipedia)
was a member of the Women's 4x100m MedleySouth African team at the 2000 Summer Olympics, which finished fifth.

I know that is not a good thing make comparison but look at this list:

Letizia of Spain - was a Journalist - She completed a Bachelor’s Degree as well as a Master’s Degree.
Maxima of Holland: A former investment banker, she graduated with a degree in economics
Mary of Denmark: did a combined degree in Commerce and Law
Sophie of Wessex:she worked in the Press and Promotions Department and also PR companies, she launched her own PR agency
Mette Maritt of Norway: attended Bjørknes Private School and then took the examen philosophicum (the preliminary university examination) (whit some problems but she did it!)
Mabel of Orange:She studied Economics and Political Science at the University of Amsterdam
:eek::D Charlene of Monaco: Declares that she drop out high school, because she think that education is not important. Actual profession: she is mistress of PA, she like drink smoking, go to parties.

So, what I expect from a wife of head of state, is that she can be a good example for girls,children, an people in general! Can you imagine Charlene as princess, make a speach to an international meeting, and say to young people that alchool is not good, or that every children must have the right to study?:ermm:

I'm not sure that people with a degree is better that people without degree, but I cannot see something of good in this girl...
I will change my opinion when I will see Charlene doing something of good, for example training hard and took an important medal...at this time she could be a good testimonial against doping, a good testimonial about sport...


I do not post the part concerning the titova-rosolino wedding, because I'm not interested in. My interest was to know something about the interview of Max on Novella2000.
I remember some years ago, one interview to Verissimo (a gossip Tv program) of Roberta Capua and Max, when they assure that they were still in love, and that the relationship" with "the blond girl from Australia" was only a friendship... But I'm not sure that the girl was the future "princess to be" CW...

Anyway: new articles @ Charlene Wittstock - Jetstreaker

Some specifications about CW's love life:
[FONT=&quot]
Rien de sulfureux dans son passé amoureux. Elle a fréquenté le nageur suédois Lars Frolander, puis le Britannique Robin Francis, avant de craquer pour le rugbyman sud-africain Andre Snyman en 2002-2003. Sa rupture avec la star de l’équipe des Springbocks la touche au point qu’elle arrête un temps ses entraînements.
"Nothing fishy in her past love life. She dated the swedish swimmer Lars Frolander, thereafter the briton Robin Francis, before falling for the southafrican rugby player Andre Snyman during 2002-2003. Her break-up with the star of the Springboks team affected her so much that she quit training for a bit. "

ok. All this shows is that CW is human like everyone else, right?
 
good lawd! looks like vanity fair's airbrusher quit. OMG, the difference between camilla and charlene is camilla is aging gracefully and charlene is just looking aged, glaring reminder to use your sunscreen ladies.
 
charlene is not grace..

Others informations about Charlene:
Portrait of Charlene dated May 2006
All in spanish

- EL MUNDO | Suplemento cronica 562 - CHARLENE NO ES GRACE PERO...

Last part of the news:
Una revista alemana ha descubierto que, al igual que los Grimaldi, Charlene tiene un antepasado pirata. Pero así como los ancestros de Grace Kelly eran irlandeses emprendedores que enseguida alcanzaron la prosperidad en Estados Unidos como constructores importantes, los de la nadadora procedían de una familia muy pobre de Hamburgo que emigró a Sudáfrica, donde no hicieron fortuna. La familia actual de la deportista es gente de clase media, su padre edita libros.

GOOGLE TRANSLATION:
A German magazine has discovered that, like the Grimaldi, Charlene has a pirate ancestor. But as well as the ancestros of Grace Kelly were Irish entrepreneurs who immediately reached the prosperity in the United States like important constructors, those of the swimmer came from a very poor family of Hamburg that emigrated to South Africa, where did not make fortune. The present family of the sportswoman is people of middle-class, her father publishes books.

Charlene Wittstock - VANITY FAIR ONLINE

new web page , there are some information about Charlene Love Life, and Biography

on the first picture (the one of Red cross gala 2006) she look like Camilla Parker Bowls... :eek: How many wrinkles!!!!:eek: :eek:

Thanks for the pics it looks like its only the german edition - is that correct? Yes she has spent a lifetime outdoors and it shows. It's sad to see someone so young with the wrinkles of a 40 year old especially when there is so much available today to prevent that. She really needs to take of her skin if only to prevent skin cancer which with her fair skin she is more prone too get.
 
Since Charlenes education has come up again and she uses her swimming as an excuse for the lack of it, I would like to bring a young athlete to your attention who will be the flagbearer for her country at the games in Monaco and who, inspite of persuing her swiming has managed to become a doctor and has been working 60 hours per week since her graduation in hospital and at the same time seiously been training to be participating in the games and representing her country. Her name is Angela Galea. The Times & The Sunday Times, Malta


She has been working around 60 hours a week at the hospital since her graduation as a doctor. It is extremely difficult for her. But on the other hand, we are well aware that she knows how to compete when called to do so. She and Carol Walsh are two of our best ever athletes in this respect. They are always focused and psychologically well prepared. They both know how to handle the pressure. Let us not forget that when Angela won the gold medal in Andorra, we were not even expecting a bronze in that event," said Psaila.
INDEPENDENT online

She seems to be quite pretty too. I just thought that CHarlene should be put into perspective of what others manage to achieve, who do not go boasting about how hard they are training etc etc. Some simply go and do it and do plenty of other things on the the side.

Charlene is definitely not taking good care of her skin especially the area around her eyes. I would think she would know better to look her best and take care of her appearance, because she is and always will be crutinize by the press and public for her affair with Prince Albert.
 
On France 2, there is an other show !! a little bit humorous on Charlene and Albert. the presenter Laurent Rukier speaks about Laure manaudou which was not present at Monaco with "Evening dress" and known as that one would have better done to entrust Laure to Albert... See Charlene which which preferred "to be involved" in Monaco with place SA to be closer to Albert and does not hesitate to want to hope become princess
 
Last year an italian show girl named PATRIZIA PELLEGRINO, that had in the past a love story with Abert... told that in every moment of romance Albert told her "You remember me my mother" :D

Another Italian show girl SIMONA TAGLI.. told that Albert always says to her , You are the most sexy and funny girl i've meet in my life... you looks like my mother..." :ohmy:

Mascia Ferri, another Italian Show Girl ( She is called The Panter ), taked part to the Italian BIg Brother once declare to "Oggi" A Gossip News Paper: "I meet Albert One night @ a dinner gala, he give me his number and he invite me to Monaco" "I spent there 3 days...and the only think i can say is that he is a gentlemen that knows how to make you feel special..." :rolleyes: (This remember me a CW interview)

This week's YOU Magazine has an article about Charlene and Albert.
YOU - Homepage


In short they are commenting about her re-appearance in Monaco and that she was away training and that was why she wasn't around.

The various events she has attended, football match, fashion show etc.

That Virginia Gallico - Caroline's former lady-in-waiting has been commissioned to tutor Charlene in palace protocol.

And also that she has been to Roc Agel and met Princess Stephanie and that apparently none of his other girlfriends have ever been invited there.

The last part is about her training schedule and where she will be competing next and that after the Olympics she will be retiring from swimming.

Thanks for the link LadyS. i love the title which desperately tries to draw a link between Charlene and Grace.:D Media just can't get over it apparently. It is so ridiculous, but I guess that they believe that it sells if a woman is said to resemble Grace. I think they did the same while spreading the Gwyneth Paltrow rumour or while they where after the Alicia Warlic story. I think they even tried it on Tasha who has brown eyes and dark hair. I haven't seen the pics, but I believe even once Nicole became public knowledge they desperately tried to push her into some Grace poses. Can't the media find sth in those women themselves that is original and remarkable? Why are they trying to put the stamp "Grace copy" on every single woman that Albert dates or is rumoured to date? I really wonder why they are doing it with Albert. How come that they don't do it with William and Harry who also lost an equally iconic mother at a very early age (much earlier then ALbert I may add and who would psychologically probably be more likely to look for a substitute)?

eited to add: Interesting that they credit Bunte on the article. It seems that Bunte is the source of most articles about the couple
 
Thank you Lady S. I could be mistaken but we heard all this last year in August about the protocol and in one photo from last year we actually saw both Albert's Chief of Protocol and Mme. G. at Charlene's side so she has had a whole year to learn this stuff and hasn't apparently. Also I would think they would be talking more about her conversion to the Catholic church and her French lessons. I don't recall any magazine talking about those issues. So to me it's just a rehash and as paca pointed out the never ending comparision to Grace, but I'm glad Lady S. brought it to our attention!

Can someone with better eyes than me help me here. If you click on the photo above and zoom in a little, does it really say that in July she is competing in the African Masters Championships?

With all the Senior swim competitions going on, especially right in the area of Europe, the US and even the All African Games in Africa, (which if I am not wrong is an Olympic qualifying event, why is she chosing to go to all the way to Tunisia to swim with a bunch of Masters swimmers?

Maybe my eyes are deceiving me, they are not so good these days.

My husband swims in Masters meets, but he is not claiming to try out for the Olympics next year.

Sorry if I miss read, can anyone else see it in the article?

Me that makes me well laugh, because that made of the weeks that one announced the total boycot of the family (Caroline and her children, Stéphanie...) and now (the waving of a magic wand) they make her Reverence to lick the ground and even they lend to her "former lady-in-waiting " morever she met Stephanie :bang: Ahh lalala that we are stupid, malicious...
which proof do we have??? word of a magazine, of a journalist who wants to see his article published???? but where the press release which proves that Caroline and Stéphanie agree to lend Mrs. Gallico??? I do not have anything considering!!!
which value can have an article of a journalist who reads the messages in this forum and publishes "scoops"?
we all can do as much of it!! too much easy!!!

I will choose this "splendid" trade, to be to pay for this kind of article!!! is not necessary to have scruples!!!

Mme Gallico is btw not a former lady in waiting ( unless she has recently been released of her functions) and her absence these last few weeks at public appearances is quite remarkable. She is always somewhere in tow during important public events. With regards to Charlenes table manners I should say that either the mentioning is untrue, Charlene is a bad pupil or Mme Gallico a bad teacher. I think that her absence (being leftover from Graces times) and the absence of the sisters is actually very interesting. Aktuelle has an article with regards to that this week, although I think that they are wrong in claiming that Steph is worried about Charlene taking her space. She will always have a place in Monaco with Albert and since she has her own field of action that she created independently from the rest of the family (no taking over of established charities), I don't see how Charlene or anyone else would be a threat to her. None the less these recent absences are interesting though the motivation behind each one of them might be due to totally different reasons.

Bravo -- imo, CW competitive swimming days are over. As far as I am concerned, she's a former athlete. How is she 'training' for competitive events but always appearing by Albert at these public events? Those atheletes who are serious about competing have been really practicing and really trying hard to get ranked in the various meets. CW has not done any of that (well...the media hasn't been able to find much of it, at least).

Unless she is trying to slide in somehow with the bare minimum activity (low hanging fruit, no-name meets where not too many current TOP swimmers are participating). They could be trying to set up CW to have the bare minimum qualification to go for MC -- if she did nothing only but carry the flag or walk with the others who have been actually working for Beijing.

You know? She becomes PA 'companion' and starts going around with him, she meets different IOC members, she swims a few times in some basic non-competitive events, qualifies by the skin of her teeth and then goes to Beijing representing MC as an 'athelete'. Then she and her press agents try to fall back on the story of how her injuries plagued her the whole time...

yeah right. we will have to see the new line unfold...

"Charlene is a bad pupil or Mme Gallico a bad teacher" truer words have never been written-well said paca. poor woman( mme gallico) it's the wonder she's not being booed in the streets if she's responsible for charlenes style and manners. interesting info thanks paca. i find it very interesting the family seems to be avoiding her.
and i consider her a former athlete it's a joke, there's no way she can be prepared for olympics, it just looks so much better under the photos if the captions are respectable. which looks better official companion or olympic swimmer/model or however they are spinning her this week. whats sad is anyone of her outfits over the course of the week with different shoes, or color or whatever would have looked fine. it just seems to be her style to look not quite put together.
