I dont know. look at this photo (from getty images) I dont think the dress is the problem.

[pollyemma]

btw, I'm not offended or anything. it happens to every woman from time to time. i'm just surprised because Caroline usually seems very "in control" I think she pays a lot of attention to the details of her clothes. guess she had an off-day.

 

[tbhrc]

I still think it's the design of that dress....

 

[hsh1969]

How can you see her bra? i can not find it

and besides PC does not have a lot (2) of "reasons" to wear a bra

Sorry still can't see it.

 

[kittencrews]

I see it! White bra and black shirt, not good

 

[kittencrews]

Do you think Stephanie wasn't as "happy looking" as Caroline and Albert because this is her first Christmas with her father? The pictures of Caroline and the little boy kissing her is too cute, do you think she knows him?

 

[pollyemma]

Sorry still can't see it.

how's this? (i've included some visual aids. enlarge the photo to see.)

 

[assia]

It is definetely not he bra but the patterne of the dress.

 

[Piewi]

Yes I see the white bra. I haven´t notice it before! Quite rare becouse Caroline seems one of those women that don´t miss a detail!

 

[kittencrews]

omgosh... that is too a bra... you can clearly see where the strap meets the cup... but i don't think that discussion of caroline's bra in a christmas thread is necessary... ha ha

Can't see the pic, could someone please post it with Tiny Pic, thanks....

 

[rrinvan]

Oh well, i'd still choose to see bra straps than nipples or sagging breasts. Princess Caroline looked ravishing in this event, and seems sincere in her warmth. The allegedly visible bra strap is so inconsequential and trivial. I'm sure the kids -- to who this special event was intended -- did not see nor mind at all.

 

[monica17]

The bra thing, if that was a bra, doesn't look distasteful, so I guess PC just had an off day! What's more important is that she was there trying to bring some cheer to the children.

I love the pics with the kids! I wish I could've been one of them, haha.

Monegasque Royals Treat Children to Presents

Since their brother Albert took on his new role as head of the principality of Monaco, Princesses Caroline and Stephanie have been keen to show he has their unequivocal support. Yesterday the royals were presenting a united front as the 47-year-old hosted a children's reception at his official residence, flanked by both sisters...

I did not have the chance to be here during the last days, so I'm a bit late, but nevertheless I'd like to give a big "thank you" to all who posted the wonderful pics of this year's distribution of gifts!

 

[monaco70s]

I would like to wish everyone in the forum a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year

 

[hsieh]

christmas in another country

i've heard in france they don't make a big deal about christmas. is that so in monaco? of course they make a big (commercial) deal about christmas in america. some famillies who are very religious don't make such a big deal about it because they consider it commercializing a religious holiday.

 

[kittencrews]

The biggest difference in America and France is Santa Claus, Coca Cola has made Santa into the main Christmas icon where as in France it is still a religious holiday.... Monaco is a mixture between France and America due Princess Grace and the Grimaldi's connections with America

 

[paca]

xmas is really not a big deal here. there is the big lunch with the family on the 25th (which is also the only day the shops are closed) and that's it. only in the churches you have midnight mass on the 24th. The anglican and protestant church offer a larger varity of services, but that is new this year too. BTW there is one spot in MC where you will not find a single xmas decoration: behind the Casino. You wouldn't even know it's almost xmas.

I inspected the lights at the Casino with the kids yesterday and we all agreed that nothing tops a xmas tree. Those avantgarde things like circus tent and hanging red and white stars (palace court) might make a change, but a children (and I suppose I have to count myself among them) get much more excited about the traditional stuff. To them santa, a sleigh and a tree are xmas and a tent with a star on top is not a good substitute. IMO and that of my kids.

 

[flowerpower]

Thank you,to everyone in this forum... for sharing all this beautiful pictures!
Happy Christmas!

almost 750 was the number given to the press

 

[Tosca]

almost 750 was the number given to the press

I happened to watch some TV pictures about that event on the state-run channel RAI1. The reporter said they were the only TV allowed to shoot.
It was nice to see the three siblings distributing gifts to the children.
I heard Caro's voice as well. She really knows how to deal with kids: weren't she a princess she would have surely make an excellent teacher IMO.

I guess Rai has it wrong tere , because there is almost at every occasion a local TV team there as well. There is a cable channel that you can only watch if you live in Monaco. They report about almost everything and especially big events like the childrens xmas party. They might have been the only foreign team to have been permitted to film. And maybe other stations were just not as interested (we have a large community of Italians living and working here, so there is more interest from that part of the media anyways).
