She was his girlfriend and now fiance, not a candidate for sainthood and certainly under no obligation to do charitable work. The majority of the worlds population don't get involved in charities or even write a cheque ,but that doesn't mean they are selfish or a bad people.
As Princess Consort she will have plenty of honorary patronages to involve herself with, and that will not mean that her efforts to support charities are not sincere (although I am sure some will suggest that anyway), it is just part of the job of being Princess Consort.
The problem is this girl sells herself as being charitable, when she cannot be bothered to support herself for at least four plus years now and apparently even before. She has been charity herself? Hasn't she? All the time while
using charity to
"promote herself". (IMO) That's horrible! She "attends" these events on
someone else's dime and then promotes herself as doing charity, and if that is not bad enough, she actually
uses the charitable event to "promote herself." Do you not remember that? She had planned interviews and press photographers with her, along with strategically placed Armani items, that were mentioned in the photo lay outs that she did for planned magazine covers, at a charitable event, all to promote herself. How low is this?
These were set up shots of her gazing out a window, not press photographers covering the event. She uses this charity event to actually promote herself in the press, I think that is the lowest, never mind that
everyone knows this girl does not have a dime of her own, or a dime that Albert hasn't donated to
her! She has done nothing all this entire time to improve herself in anyway as just a normal person might do. of course there are a few physical adjustments? The cover she did on PM early on where she
uses disadvantaged SA children to promote herself?
The only time I have heard of her doing any kind of a one day swimming clinic was then....when they took pictures of course?
That is the problem I have
with the hype about how involved in charity Charlene is. Ngalitzine, you did not include the rest of my post where I said I did not expect her to have started foundations, etc,.
It is the false promotion of it with Charlene that is my problem? This angle on her is meant to deflect, and cover her tracks that she has not done a thing but jet around for four years while living off of Albert. I guess they mean to show that she has so much money that she doesn't have to work and so she has involved herself in philanthropic work all this time, as if Charlene was to the manor born?
Most people are not this stupid to not see through it, and they should drop this angle quickly if they don't want to cause her more trouble and resentment and have her facing some uncomfortable questions.
The idea to make someone an honorary anything, is because you expect they have done something honorable that makes someone want to support your charity? It is meant to show your respect towards then and hopefully other people will too and will help to bring in some money? What respectful or honorable thing has this girl done, besides hanging off Albert's arm trying to promote herself. I really hope the people here, are going to be buying lots of tickets to these balls and charitable events that Charlene is going to be involved with, or perhaps investing in Monaco's banks, or perhaps spending their money as tourist at the SBM hotels.. There is not a dearth of charitable causes to give one's money to, there are many places to visit in the South of France. I really hope for Monaco's sake that this girl is the draw that they think she is, but they have had four years to realize this by now.
I really would like to see Prince Albert and Monaco succeed, maybe this woman has done a lot for them in the last four years, I just don't see it? Anyway, that is why I speak out here. I think they have all been down the wrong path here with the promotion of this woman and I anticipate a real disaster for them. I do not believe the normal role of husband and wife has anything to do with this relationship, but (IMO) I'm sure Charlene won't mind popping out a couple of kids, if that is the plan, and if they can manage it, but I think it is going to end up a real mess for Albert and Monaco, where they will have a hard time picking up the pieces, all except for Charlene of course, she will have what she has always wanted, that said, you cant say Albert and the people involved are not walking into this little arrangement with their eyes wide open.
