Well, I'm hoping she will make her mark by being a good wife, mother and princess. I can't see why she would be any less effective than other royals at ribbon cuttings and other appearances of that type.
Charlene doesn't need to prove anything to anybody. Just like you and me.
Well it doesn't seem to me like you are making a strong case for Charlene here
. I don't know if that was your intention, but if the Palace reads your post, I hope they understand what very small expectations that even her fans have of her.
And no not "just like you and me", Charlene's title means she represents the people of Monaco, including Albert and the Grimaldi family name. That title is meant to represent a certain reverence, at least in Monaco anyway, and so that title should be something Albert and his wife is worthy of (at least liked). I for one would be pretty embarrassed to have Charlene's history and character, so perhaps like you, but not like me--please don't equate your own ideas with me. People prove themselves everyday by the way they live their lives and the choices they make in it,
and the most common person has to prove themselves in many ways all the time and that should be that much more true for someone that will be in Charlene's position, especially when she so greatly wants to be revered for something
. And being a good wife and good mother should be expected of anyone that is, so again that not much of an expectation? So if only that and cutting ribbons is all that you think Charlene has to offer, then your own expectations of what should be required of her is pretty low or rather non existent?
You are exactly right about one thing though, and that is Albert has never required of Charlene to prove herself in anyway, not once in anything, so why would she, or anyone who thinks like her, expect she is going to have to now after the fact? After Charlene has already received what she wanted, and only Albert will pay the price for that, a very big price!
Charlene's new title is only going to attract that much more scrutiny of Charlene's character (it isn't going to excuse it), and people want to know what kind of
"person" Charlene is first, before they care what kind of princess she's going to be, or consider what she can do for Monaco? That is why it is so hard not to speak of it--
it is everything! What Charlene can do for Monaco has everything to do with what kind of person Charlene is and what kind of person she has shown herself to be in her life and the choices she has made in it?
I don't understand why people think a woman at the age of 30 plus,
should wait until she gets a title to start to show some integrity and character, or how anyone could believe a title would make the transformation?
What Charlene can do for Monaco, has everything to do with
how convincing she is and what people are willing to
believe of her.
