Not to mention Ernst Sr. handed over the keys to Marienburg Castle to his sons in 2005 and Caroline contributed a substantial amount of the money that bought Monir du Mée. Shela House is also owned by Shela House Management - they own three other holiday homes on the island too.Note, agogo, that Le Mas de la Source, La Vigie et le Clos Saint- Pierre Are P. Caroline own possessions. She own them ( or had them rented ) long before marrying Ernst in 1999.
I'm not saying Ernst is poor (didn't the court estimate his daily income at 5000 euros? If only us mere mortals could earn that much in a day! ) but there's little point fooling ourselves. Caroline is a great deal richer than her husband. I'm a little confused however - I thought La Vigie was owned by the SBM?

i think, though i'm not sure, Charlotte celebrated her 18th birthday there...
I have not heard anything about them divorcing as yet.I am wondering if the two will choose to remain married but maintain separate lives?
Cynical but deadly accurate. It never ceases to amaze me that when a woman marries a man with whom she was having had an adulterous realationship never thinks her will cheat on her . . . . ! Go figure!
.Has Caroline said she did not think Ernst would cheat on her?Cynical but deadly accurate. It never ceases to amaze me that when a woman marries a man with whom she was having had an adulterous realationship never thinks her will cheat on her . . . . ! Go figure!
. She's far less conventional than Caroline.)
. Not that this isn't a true statement. It's just ever so odd that you usually hear it when someone wants to justify pursuing someone unavailable. You may not be able to choose who you love, but you can choose your actions. There is such a thing as self-control. I know it sounds odd and ridiculous in a world that believes if you want it take it without any regard for consequences or someone's feelings, but more than love it was selfish.
) anyway. Which kind of, in a way, makes it worse. I have always liked Caroline but I don't believe in absolving people from the consequences of their actions simply because you like them. Caroline did not steal Chantal's husband but she did commit adultery with him, so she can't say that this was like a bolt out of the blue. I agree with kells - if Caroline could not see that the man she married had a wife and two small children and yet still decided to have an affair with one of his wife's closest friends - and how that indicates a pattern of behavior that is likely to continue (I think the adage "Leopards never change their spots" applies here) and thought somehow her marriage to Ernst would be different she's fooling herself IMHO. Like I said, I like Caroline but sorry, you make your bed, you lie in it.), but like you, Caroline has always come off to me as more spiritual than Catholic. Besides, adultery and fornication are also forbidden in the Church, so I think if she was willing to do those things, why not also use contraceptives?
I don't know, it was just a thought. I've always found it a little odd how Caroline talks about the message of Christ and how it's sad that modern culture has become the guiding force of the world instead of religion (I refer in particular to her interview with Hola in April 2004) and yet doesn't seem to practice many of those beliefs herself. It seems a case of "do as I say, not as I do".
I didn't know about that interview. I wonder if she knows the "do as I say, not as I do" attitude from alot of Christians is the reason so many people reject religion. I'm with you all the way, Thecia. I admire Caroline, as well, for her generosity particularly when it comes to kids, the fact that she has survived so much tragedy, and that she still has her head held high in spite of this whole situation with Ernst. But she is far from perfect.
