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

I agree that Athina got married very young age, but maybe she missed her mother and to have a normal family and wanted to have just one of her own...I think this could be a good reason to marry at very young age...

I'm Catholic, but it doesn't look like any Saint in particular. After a while I decided it was the Virgin Mary.

Or it can be very wrong one! If a preson likes the image of having family, then they can rush into marriage for wrong reasons...and not because they really wanna live the rest of their lives with that someone.
But after all it depends of a person.

I expressed myself wrong, didn't want ta say it is a good reason, I ment that it might be the reason she wed so young, please excuse me for my English...

St devote would make sense too, as she is the protector of the Grimaldis...

Wonderfull

Very very "starrish". She loose weight, and she gained a lot on feminity and style. ALL her last three weeks pictures are stunning

[iloveroyals]

Charlotte looks so much better with her hair up ! She recovers that look of innocence and mixture of sophistication and "artful neglige" that defined her style when she was younger.

Nothing negative, but just because they're both rich doesn't mean they run in the same circles. I wonder if Athina is riding/competing anymore, and if her recent marriage has changed that (if true, would be a shame, unless she's pregnant).

Really? To me they look very friendly. We can only see Athina's face, but she seems very happy to meet charlotte

I agree 100%. I think if they looked a little stiff, it was because of one of these reasons (just my opinion):
1) Athina came up rather suddently, perhaps taking the party by surprise, as everyone else but Char is looking like they don't know what's going on.
2) The photographers (less likely, considering they all seem perfectly relaxed in other pics, but still possible, I suppose)

But I will say that I agree with Horseygal that they are just acquainted, albeit always friendly acquainted, socially friendly, but not over-friendly.
I just always wished they would be friends, like best friends, but accepted long ago it ain't gonna happen. I think the media has paired them together off and on, esp. when they were little kids, as part of an exclusive "richest kids club", and then there are the coincidences:
1) Both lost a parent at a very young age
2) Both inherited their own island, albeit one being quite "more important" than the other one
3) Their grandfathers *hated* each other!
4) Their mothers were sort of rivals in their own way on the social scene, weren't they?
5) The equestrian thing, yada yada

In all of the pictures that I have seen on this page- the car photos and the horse jumping Charlene seems to just be there and she is not included in any conversation. Its like she's an outsider who is hanging around. That is not a healthy situation to be in.

[goody7058]

That the true, do anybody know did Charlene learn to speak french?

Post here news and pics about this years International Jumping de Monte-Carlo ( June 26th - 28th - to be confirmed).

The International Jumping of Monte Carlo had taken in 2006 a new dimension while being installed on the Hercules Port of the Principality to the foot of the Rock, vis-a-vis the sea.
The infrastructures of International Jumping of Monte Carlo will succeed the racing cars of the Formula 1 to the Plays of the Small States marking the 60 years of the Olympic Committee Monegasque, for the greatest pleasure of the spectators, the media and in love with the equestrian sport.
The most beautiful conquest of the man will again border on the most beautiful yachts of the world within an exceptional framework.
