I'm going to follow my own path, says Albert on pressure to marry
Article about how Albert is going to follow his own path, and that a future Princess Of Monaco would undoubtedly be compared to Grace.

I am getting tired of hearing that same excuse-"It will be hard for a wife of mine to follow Princess Grace"- Yes, your mother was iconic! let it go and move on build your dynasty!
In royal social circles, has Charlene been compromised? She has been with him a very long time. Dose she live in Monaco? What is her livelihood? I want to like her but she is coming across as a kept woman. Since he was younger Albert kept a low profile with his girlfriends mainly because his sisters was so high profile and they just left him alone. He has bought Charlene to the fore front. She is at his side on official engagements-
Whats the delay?
maybe this is what Charlene wants to be a kept woman because Albert is not holding on a cage she have the right to walk away but she is still there after three years of no show so she is not a Victim or powerless to anything she have the power to move on and get something else but yet she choose again and again to stay and follow albert around the world and care less about self respect or self- steem and i agree with all of what you said but after three years of nothing any woman would have walk away but charlene stay maybe she is enjoying a care free life to have it all without not walking hard for it but only to please the person that is giving it all to you like they say life is full of many choice but this seems to be charlene own. jmoFrankly if he were in love with her he wouldn't have compromised her, which he has done. She is a kept woman at this point. The delay is that he has no intentions of marrying her, and thank goodness for that as she has come across as exactly as she appears. No self-respecting woman would put herself in this position without an announcement. If she had moved to Paris and gone to school, or had a real job, then people wouldn't resent her so much. When you see two negative articles about him, his subjects are not happy. As for the dynasty, Caroline's kids are next in line so there is a succession in place. It's not necessary for him to have legit. kids. Maybe he just doesn't want the responsibility of a marriage? who really knows? Keep in mind that Rainier had Gisele Pascal for six years and it was Father Tucker who had to tell her the whole stinking truth. She thanked him for being the only one to tell her -- and she had a career and had not given it up so she went on with her life. Charlene needs to wake up and smell the coffee. JMO
i have to laugh-does she have anything else to do or any jobs waiting for her or does she run her own business? anotherwords this could be the best way for her to pay her bills -jmhomaybe this is what Charlene wants to be a kept woman because Albert is not holding on a cage she have the right to walk away but she is still there after three years of no show so she is not a Victim or powerless to anything she have the power to move on and get something else but yet she choose again and again to stay and follow albert around the world and care less about self respect or self- steem and i agree with all of what you said but after three years of nothing any woman would have walk away but charlene stay maybe she is enjoying a care free life to have it all without not walking hard for it but only to please the person that is giving it all to you like they say life is full of many choice but this seems to be charlene own.
We could speculate till the cows come home, and still get nowhere.
The two obviously enjoy each other's company, and each gets something positive from the relationship.
It's not compulsory to be married.
Why try and fix it if it's not broken?
Maybe...and I'm saying maybe...he wants to preserve his mother's iconic memory in Monaco by never replacing her? Just another theory i've read in another forum.
But until a few years ago, heirs were thin on the ground ! It took Rainier to have the Constitution changed to widen the field of pretenders to the throne. He must have realised that dynastic considerations were not high on his son's agenda.
pretenders to the throne? I would say equal rights personally. Britain allows male and females to the throne as to many others. I see nothing wrong with what Ranier did.
Its hard to guess or speculate what is in his mind re having a legal child. He has said he plans to several times, but ye gads. He will certainly be an aged father, it would be like he's the grandfather when the kid gets to be a teenager or early teener.
I recall Agnell of Fiat having lots of fun skiiing with his grandsons, but they would go home when the fun is over.Age brings on other priorities, for example good h ealth, dexterity and a readiness for silliness.
I hope I'm wrong but taking a long shot but I just think his patience with youngsters is short. And it h appens all the time that some people still need more coddling themselves, and I suspect there is feeling of loss with them. I'm sure though right now through these years since he boasts of "I am a father"then he just avail himself when he gets the mood or desire.
Oh, it could be an interesting article. Sorry I don't understand French. Could you translate it English? Thanks a lot!Stéphane Bern is a very famous royal journalist in the French-speaking countries. Although I don´t appreciate him one must have to admit he is VERY close to the Grimaldis.
And he says Charlene cannot speak, cannot speak French either, cannot dress properly and remains a protestant.
According to him she has a long way to go before a wedding.

I think " Norma" has the drama you say Bunte states.This is quite exaggerated that anyone venerates Miss Wittstock.I think time will tell if she has earned the respect of the Monegasques.Deo JuvanteIf one is to believe BUNTE's Stefan Blatt, Charlene has already made such an impact on the Monegasques that (he says) they venerate her as a Princess!
("...Charlene ist zur staendigen Begleiterin Alberts geworden und wird von den Monegassen schon wie eine Fuerstin verehrt")
Blatt also states that the Monegasque ladies curtsey to her.
The event in question was Bellini's opera "Norma" which Albert attended with Caroline and Charlene.

As long as Miss Wittsock remains a Protestant according to Rainier's will there cannot be wedding bells. If Cw is behind in her French lessons she should catch up not for anyone else but herself as she has done with her appearance.If there is an iota of truth in that she has a long distance to traverse before marriage then I send my best wishes.Stéphane Bern is a very famous royal journalist in the French-speaking countries.
