Princess Caroline & Prince Ernst August Current Events 14 : Jan.2007 - July 2007

[monaco70s]

Princess Caroline looks beautiful in the last pics, I must say these last months she's been looking stunning in all of the pics This dress looks a bit similar to the white one she wore in 1975 for her official birthday pics.

I agree, I think Princess Caroline looks fabulous! I love the dress and the color of it as well.

It would be nice to see her with new friends sometimes... Does she have any close female friends? How does Karl L. find time to do any designing?!!! Or does he just sign his name these days?

It sure does. With a color more appropriate for her age now, a color by the way that Queen Rania favors. This midnight blue is very regal-looking and looks good on both.

I agree. It would be nice to see her with old or new friends.That's something that really seems to be missing from her life (at least from the pictures we see). Even as a teenager or young woman, she never had a coterie of friends the way her daughter does. The closest to real friends seems to have been her cousin Grace Levine and later, Ines de la Fressange.

I read in a mag, dating back from the '70's she did have a coterie of friends named "La bande à Caroline".

[iloveroyals]

Tosca, interesting, I never knew that. Who was in it ? I know she was friends with a Niarchos girl, attended her wedding along with Philippe (the young woman divorced shortly thereafter, and it was said that Caroline was upset about that), and also with a Poniatovski girl . Poniatovski was a minister (of the Interior ?) in France at the time. That's all I remember. She also went with an older crowd, where she joined them at clubs and parties, mostly married high society people. She was often photographed with a girl whose identity was never revealed but who seemed to be a fairly constant companion. But mostly, all these people remained anonymous.

Sorry Iloveroyals, but I can't recall, as it was a long time ago, and the mag didn't mention any of her friends. Anyway Poniatovski sounds familiar to me, as well as Niarchos.
Can you please post a photo of Caro with that mystery girl? May be this helps me to remember her name...

Great pictures tbhrc. That blue is a good color for her, they look happy together, again.

[supernova]

Caro's dress for it's colour a bit difficult to wear, but with her tanned skintone it is perfect...they both looked nice together...wondering where did she have that sunbathing...

[monaco70s]

She was friends with Maria Niarchos, back in the summer of 2000 they were photographed at the Deauville races. I also miss seeing pics of her with Carole Bouquet and Ines de la Fressange.

You're right about the color iloveroyals, she has always looked stunning in that color since the 70s.

The only "problem" is that she is a bit too beige all over. I wish she had worn something on her face to lighten or brighten it up. But who am I to say, I know nothing about applying make-up artistically ...

You are actually right about your assessment there. The make-up is very neutral, that the look does not seem appropriate with the dress and event. BTW, I am not in the make-up or beauty industry myself.

Since she chose to wear her hair casually, her face should have been more glamorously (different from overdone, btw) made-up to balance her over-all look.

I even think, with all due respect, that she looked haggard in this event. It's the ashen look that her make-up has accomplished. It wore her face down. It could have been greatly improved by a more flattering shade of lipstick.

I know Princess Caroline is more into looking natural, and excessive make-up will actually age a person especially when she has prominent wrinkles (which Caroline has). But she could have achieved a youthful look by choosing a softer, warmer shade of pink or rose.

Thank you both Ianna and tbhrc for the latest pics, Caroline looked great at both, I love the colours she wore, especially the blue dress is great for summer times, it reminds so much of the fresh blue sea

Here's another pic of the event on 7 June with Karl:

Karl and those damn gloves! But, I think it's cute that their fingers are intertwined. Real friends I guess...

Thanks a lot for the additional pics, tbhrc!

Yesterday Caroline had an event, but the pics I've found so far are very small:

Great pics, thanks Ice.

Here is a video of Princess Caroline and Prince Ernst August attending the concert by the Monaco Philarmonic Orchestra. Just click on Juin 13, 2007 and then OPMC Paris. It also includes an interview of Caroline, perhaps someone could summarize what she said. Thanks.
