Ok - I couldn't resist.

I've warmed to CW a little bit, but I still think she's just having a good time, as much as she can for as long as possible.

If she behaves herself, she can be in Monaco for a really long time, 'cause Albert is still working on cleaning up his image. He wants to be taken seriously as a reigning prince, after all, right?

She has a year to try and do it. But you have to also note that the Olympic qualifers did not compete at the Nationals this year which is how Charlene made the National team. Now if you judge her by comparing her times to that of the Olympic qualifiers in similar events, had they competed she wouldn't have made the National team.

yes, ok. but maybe she wants to swim for Monaco or something. If she's trying to stay in France, and she's going around with Albert, maybe she'll swim for him (oops, I mean them - Monaco) too.

I think the article is nothing but chatter from a magazine.

so Charline likes hanging out with her athelete friends, big deal. If I was her, I'd still rather be the official companion -- how far can any athelete friend take her, even if he is cute and everything? Certainly not farther than Albert, I would bet.

Not many athletes are billionaire princes who own private jets who have a whole country at their disposal and can set her up with jet set things to do anywhere on the planet at any time at all. Not many people can do things like that. If a girl likes to live richly, and is pretty (she has a nice face) and can get the man to take up her cause, then why not? Albert has no problem with it and she cannot do better than him in terms of living the good life - even if he is almost 60 years old, fat and balding and has publically said he has absolutely no intention of marrying anyone at all (meaning her). He does live the good life and knows how to show a girl a good time.

JMO.

LOL We know she already swims for him as evidence by the Maldives photos. She can't swim for Monaco according to current IOC rules - there's a two year time frame I believe.

so what would she be training for -- if she's not with SA swim team and cannot swim for Monaco (rules can be adjusted right), then why the talk of training from her in the magazine?

Unless she's been granted some exception on swimming for SA or Monaco or something (if so, it would be unfair no matter what imo) - is the 2 year IOC rule up yet for her?

I would guess she's abit like that guy Bodie Miller (I think that's his name) - like to party at the Olympic level. Only she's done him better, she hooked a prince and she's hanging out for a long time now with the royals and he just choked and went home ashamed of himself. I think Charlene is doing well for herself so far
