Now, if there would have been anything beyond her being a swimmer and the usual platitudes of I love children and I am teaching swimming to underprivilidged children in South AFrica (she she hasn't been doing since she wasn't there much these last 18 months so can't be really meaning much to her and disappointing those children that she promissed to encourage doesn't seem to bother her either in her persuit of the tiara), I'm sure her PR would have made sure that we knew about it. I think that the truth is that what we saw so far and what she had to say until now, is really all there is. If she was fluent in French she'd given an interview to Paris Match in French by now to have people raving about her incredible progress in the language and her improvement in education - well the whole pretty woman story with an average looking gal. Unfortunetely they have blown up the Olympics story for buying Albert some time until after 2008 and put a lot of lies in the orbit like her competing in July returning mid August to South Africa to train etc etc.
Quote:
She said it after Telkom Games, and something about training!!! during summer in Europe.
Until then she will remain Alberts miserable looking walker for him to appear less playboy while trying to regain some respect at home.
I not sure that showing her it's a good way to regain some respect at home... when they both arrive people say "non, c'est pas vrai!!!..." when they see her or "t'as vu la meuf qui colle..."

Yes lilae, but still keeping the same woman around instead of constantly changing them, makes him appear less of a playboy. Though of course I agree that his choice of woman leaves much to be desired. But we all know what Rainers opinion on his son was and the longer he is in power, the more he proves his father to be right once more. Btw in the maprincipaute you can vote for your favourite Monegasque.

LOL, they forgot Charlene. She could be included easily as she spends more time in Monaco than Albert does. Then we could see if 74% of the Monegasques find her the bee's knees as Bunte wrote. Besides, the list is riddled with non-Monegasques (including the current no. 1, if I'm not mistaken) so she could fit right in. St. Dévote wasn't a Monegasque (she came from Corsica, IIRC) and Cousteau was French.
I'm surprised princess Grace isn't listed higher btw.
The greatest Monegasque in my book at the moment will be the one who manages to fix both the paper (blank) and the ma principaute website (only side bar). I feel extremely devoid of news.

For those interested, my friends were at the Tom Jones concert at the Sporting 25 August. Their table was in a prime location. The news is that Charlene was at the concert (and dinner) with PA.

Funny that they would use a picture in which he follows the action with his binoculars, wheras she just stairs bored ahead. The caption is fun to read too. If we remember, hello once said that they don't write anything bad about the celebrities, then
Quote:
Fortunately the couple share their love of sport, which means professional swimmer Charlene was unlikely to have minded too much that her royal love was clearly completely absorbed in the on-pitch action
means that even hello seems to underly that she is bored. Thanks for the link.

Friends did not pay attention to PA and Charlene.

They only commented on Tom Jones who, they said, did a rather poor performance.

They said they had much preferred Diana Ross (at the Red Cross Ball).

You wouldn't have thought so from the reviews. But apparently Patrick Bruel was sitting with him at th table too. Ah well, stars are not aways guarantee for quality.

Haven't been on this thread in a while. Seems like Charlene is doing more "sorta official" events with Albert as far as being the woman at his side. Is it safe to say none of the other girlfriends did this kind of thing?

I should think, even if (and I know not) however many or none of the other girls were treated in the same behavior--that he is treating her very special and appropriate. What and how else would a young lady of his expect to be treated. Apparently, she is his lady of honor. As far the future who knows.

But I think she has a splendid association, looks like it anyway. What do any of us know about their plans or agreements? Like the little pigs ,people can huff and puff but they haven't blown PA's 'house' down.

If your post is missing, that's because it has been removed. For quite some time now, you have been asked to posts your comments regarding Albert and Charlene's relationship in the Albert and Charlene's Relationship thread in order to free the current events threads for current events.

I suggest you pay attention to the rules if you don't want to see your posts disappear into thin air.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Thanks Iceflower as usual you are on top of what's new on Monaco's front. Charlene looks like she is intent on what she is watching. Albert's reminds me of a typical man with a remote in his hand during a commercial. Gotta see more.

P.S. to Moderators nice job giving Albert his own section.
