Grace, Caroline and Charlotte. . . it's all in the genes!

[De La Cruza]

I've seen photos of Caroline and Charlotte when they were babies and children yeah they look alike,but Charlotte didn't start becoming almost a clone of her mother in my opinion until she was a teenager like starting at age 11 or 12 on up. First she was a clone of Grace from baby to childhood but once in adolescenthood she started switching and becoming a clone of Caroline.

In my opinion, charlotte and caroline do not look anything like Grace. But, I see a lot of the same physical features in char that I see in caro.

Now here they are Caroline and Charlotte at 18 years. Thay look so much the same in these ones! Like twins ! Their body language,facial espressions body cocks and turns are the same in these pictures! The only differnce is that Caroline tweezed ,waxed off her eyebrows really thin and penciled them in back then but Charlotte kept her nice and thick, heavy, full. I have 3 pics of Charlotte for this one and one of Caroline

comparison of Caroline & Charlotte (from dpa)

[cro girl]

All three of them are beautiful in their own way! Personally I would put Grace 3rd because she was beautiful but in the most classic way ( blond hair, swans neck, bright tan ). 2nd would be Charlotte especially in the last year and a half ( that ultra thin, almost anorexic look did her no good). Although a lot of her features are almost identical to her mother's, she has a more rounder figure ( not fat! ) and face. 1st of course Caroline mostly because she has that extra something, it is not any specifical body or facial feature but an aura that seems to be always around her and gives her that extra sparkle! But then again that's just my opinion!

^ it's true they really look much alike there. But I have to say that though they look much alike I wouldn't call them clones. IMO they (luckily) are different in so many aspects.

May I ask what the removed comments were about - did people make bad comments on one to make the other "more beautiful"?

[Suonymona]

More likely they were comments towards other TRF members. Those are best left to PMs or held to the wind.

In my opinion, Charlotte and Caroline look very similar, especially when you look at their eyebrows, they have exactly the same shape! But Caroline`s hair is a lot darker than Charlotte`s.

There will never be another Grace Kelly, that's it. It isn't just a matter of beauty. She had something special, sort of an "aura".
Once the doyen of Italian journalists Enzo Biagi went to interview her, and said that rather than her beauty, he was struck by the "light she shed".
She conveyed a sense of peace and calmness just by looking at her pictures, which doesn't happen neither when you look at Caroline's nor Charlotte's, though they are both beautiful.
Besides the Caroline type is sort of common where I live. If you look at the current Miss Italy, you might think she's a daughter of Caroline's.
Charlotte is a doll. It's a shame she always wears a dull expression though.

well it's all a matter of personal taste, imo. grace was surely a very very beautiful woman but i still prefer charlotte because of how natural she seems and i think looking human with flaws and all makes her look really beautiful. grace was entirely too perfect and too hollywood for me. caroline, i think is more beautiful now than as a teenager. for me it's like, grace was glamor, caroline is elegance, while charlotte is chien...
i don't think grace and charlotte look anything alike though...except for the occasional half-smiles they both share. caroline and charlotte of course look very much alike although charlotte has a lot of stefano in her too.
of all grace's grandkids, i used to think that andrea's the one who resembles her most, more so than any of the grimaldi trio themselves, especially in this pic wherein he could pass for a brother of grace..the cheekbones, jawline and that high-and-mighty look about him that isn't present in any of his siblings or cousins reminds me of grace..

[miau]

In my opinion, Charlotte is the most beautiful one. She's feminine, gentle and healthy-looking. Grace was almost as beautiful as her granddaughter, but just like someone already pointed out, comparations are hard to make when you don't have teenage pictures of Grace. The only aspect in which Grace falls behind Charlotte is the way her beauty does not seem to be as sincere, honest and real. Don't know how to express myself better. Caroline, she gets the third place. However, I don't feel that she can be compared to the two aforementioned ladies.

For me late Princess Grace was very beautiful but only on her 25 to 42. Suddenly, she gained a lot of weight, she had awfull hair (a strange kind of chignon) and she weared ugly clothes, very strong colors and designs, she lost her class.

Charlotte is wonderfull, she has a more classsical features than Caroline, she is now more beautifull than was Caroline in her age, but we do not know how she will become getting older.

But Caroline is perfect, through the last 30 years she has been pretty, but also extremely classy and regal, she is getting older in a wonderful way, and i think she will stay one of the prettiest women of the 20th, Century, and this till her 90ies, she will be stunning, despite all ages.

de la cruza insisted on attacking grace and i for thinking grace was the most beautiful followed by caroline and then charlotte. she does not seem to assimilate the fact that we are all different and our tastes vary and that diversity is a good thing. to each their own, no?

[moby]
