International Jumping de Monte-Carlo: 2007, 2008, 2009...

I may be the only one who thinks this, but Charlotte is looking alot less like her mother and more like her late father these days. That coy smile she's giving reminds me so much of him.

[ulisse]

I agree with you, Kells, however she is always beautiful , her father was very handsome

[azure]

Yes, Kells.. i always though that she resembles Stephano.. !!

I like that Charlotte, Caroline and Athena are photographed together - the press seems to try to make so much out of some rivarly between Char and Athena....silly. I'm sure she is not close to her, as she is with other heiresses her age (Eugenie, etc), but I never believed that they had some sort of jealous rivalry going on, either. If there is any competition, it's in the jumping ring.....

Yes great finding! The pics are great. Charlotte looks stunning. I love when she smiles. Caroline is looking beautiful too. Ernst and Albert look good too.

ISIFA and BELGA have new pictures of Charlotte and Albert giving prize to the winner. I saw Alex Dellal. Charlotte is the new wonderful young first lady!

Charlotte was just giving an interview together with Albert on Stade 2 at France 2 about the jumping. (The show is still going on until 18.45)
When she speaks she's even more resembles her mother.
I'll try to find a clip about it on the France 2 website. There will be a rediffusion this night at 3.55.

I really hope that you can find it! I would love to hear it. Thanks for the info!

[kells]

Yay!!! I will love you forever if you do! I can't wait to hear more of her voice! That clip from the fashion show was not enough, but she sounds so confident and beautiful!

Is there a picture of Alex attending? I can't recall having read he has been present when Charlotte has participated in riding events before. He increasingly appears to be a significant other in her life.

Charlotte is just beautiful, and she looks so much like Caroline and then Caroline looks so much like Grace. The pictures are really nice of everyone and the men looked great also. Very nice event.

Caroline looks great in these photos. I think that, overall, P. Caroline looked very elegant in the all three days of the event. Sporty and stylish. It's good to see her again in her best!

He looks excited lol. Cool that he was there, I was wondering where he was. Charlotte looks great and Caroline's outfit is interesting, not in a bad way, but I would never peg her the type to wear that. They both look good though.

Wow! she looks great, she even sounds like her mother. Very self assured and poised. Caroline must be so pleased.

[kells]

She looks so adorable! She really looked nervous at some points in the video, but she seemed really eloquent and her voice is really husky, way deeper than her mom's but still lovely. And so cute the tap Albert gives her at the beginning! Thanks

It doesn't appear to be any rivalry at all between Athina & charlotte like someone said just in the competition.

As a matter of fact, it appears what they do really share is a the loooove of all things horse-y! it's how it comes accross which is probably why they are always writing about it --there's lots of horse lovers in the world.

They always appear relaxed and really into enjoying the hard work that goes into getting the horses and things prepared that go into a competition such as these.

Both Charlottes and Athina's horses are beautiful and together with their persons they really stand out in the competitions and with the fact they enjoy the challenge of it all is what makes them a pleasant favorite as part of the shows.

More often than not those shows aren't just about the money they are more for the enjoyment of the thrill and challenge of the competition, just to see how all that hard work allows a person to place in the rankings.

Athina's mother was a gracious lady thru-out life and would have been really proud to have her child be such an accomplished individual whom would at least have the motivation and the drive to rise up to the challenge that these competitions require, if only for the enjoyment of being there.
Most of Monaco's history is intertwined with theirs so it seems only natural that they would have a friendly rapport.
