General News & Information: Prince Albert & Princess Charlene 1: July 2011 - Feb.2012

[Zonk]

Aren't we putting the horse before the cart? Pregnancies, Divorces and Child Custody Cases?

Let's get back on topic.

Thanks Zonk I logged on and was totally overwhelmed just then! I don't want to join the off topic brigade but hasn't it occured to anyone anyway that these nasty stories might be down to good old fashioned jealousy? At the end of the day any woman who has had relations with PA (not to mention a child in the case of Nicole Coste who has been mentioned in this latest story) and then sees PC with the rock on her hand and the big wedding coming up might just feel a teeny weeny bit envious. I mean, anyone who had a gripe had plenty of time to voice it than to wait 2 days before the wedding. Anyway just a thought. But enough of that. Are the Prince and Princess (I love saying that!) going to remain in Monaco before leaving for SA for the IOC meeting or have they left for a short holiday before that?

[stanley]

IMO we won't find out about more out of weddlock children, or DNA results until after the legitimate heir appears. At that point I wouldn't be surprised if he'll come clean with all of them. The legit child will bail him out of the mess.

The exhibition "L'Histoire du Mariage Princier" is starting on July 9th and ends in late November, at the Musée Océanographique.
I believe it consists mainly of photographs....

Not sure about that... Charlène did say in a Vogue interview that her Ocean tiara will be displayed there until she'll have an official engagement where she will use it. Then again, are we talking about the same exhibition? It might be a different one where the tiara is.

[Renata4711]

That's even better, Catarina, the Ocean Tiara is certainly well worth displaying.
Many thanks.

I think her wedding dress & the tiara is on display

Thanks, Elly, for the new link Cityoutmonaco !

This means that there are two major "Royals" exhibitions running side by side...

"Splendour and Grandeur of the Courts in Europe" (Grimaldi Forum)

and this one about the wedding.

Albert commented on the runaway bride rumor.

Prince Albert II of Monaco says rumours that new wife Princess Charlene had tried to run away before their wedding last weekend were "completely fabricated."
Speaking from Durban, he said, "It's just to try to destabilise our marriage, it's very unfair."

It was supposed to be their fairytale honeymoon in Africa, but Princess Charlene slept alone in a bedroom 16km from her prince.

I am getting tired of the media calling the IOC meeting as the honeymoon..Jesus Christ,they should get their facts straight before printing these 'reports'.

The honeymoon is AFTER the IOC and it may not be even in South Africa coz the destination is being keep a secret as a surprise for the bride.Prince Albert said it before on Euronews,grrrrr!.The media are so dramatic!

And one more thing,all these so called 'sources' are sprouting out like mushrooms.Sources said these,said that blah,blah.So,did Prince Albert made her sign a contract to pop an heir then go to their own separate way with witnesses so they could blab about it to the newspapers? Is he naive like that?..did the lawyers who had prepared the contract talked to the media?..did the notary that notarized the contract so it could be legal and binding also talked to the media?.

If a contract do exist..I think only the involved parties would know about it,and I don't think they're that stupid to be talking about it to the press.

[Renata4711]

"Sources" irritate me, just as you, I think.

The trouble with journalists is that they don't have time to prepare a proper story. Their editors make sure of that.
On top of that, even if they have time, they may not have style or imagination.

[burnt]

Renata: It is so irritating now and I also think it's unfair to the newlyweds coz this type of sensationalism could forever taint this couple for the rest of their married lives.Even Robert Lacey is stirring the pot as well..I bet he is salivating about the prospect of another book based on the couple.

I once read before about tabloids saying that happy couple never sells a story,so true! imo

She knew was a serial philanderer, so while I certainly understand why you may feel sorry for her, none of this could/should be a surprise to her or to anyone else

Charlene and Albert cut short their South African stay on Friday, citing urgent business in Monaco as their reason.
