Hehe..That's first thought that came through my mind when seeing it! :p

[kittencrews]

wow... did ya'll see thierry in the last group of pictureson page 2 and he is also with them when ernst is there!! he was behind charlotte... i wonder if she wishes she were riding...

charlotte and juliette are both members of the monaco jumping club so does that mean they are going to ride? tomorrow is the big awards banquet and everything... since rainier passed and caroline was president or whatever does that mean charlotte and caroline are going to give the prizes??

and also they have a picture of charlotte as a child on one of the monte carlo jumping webpages... hmm.. strange since caroline didn't like pictures of them taken as children...

Have fun in Monaco Anag. I'm planning to go to St. Tropez, Monte Carlo and Monaco next Spring!

Johana, I can say with certainty that Juliette is very serious in show jumping competitions, I believe much more than Charlotte ever was. Juliette is a former young champion for the whole of France in one of the jumpings categories, CCE or something. Charlotte always competed in CSO, but Juliette is in CCE, which must be a more advanced category, I'm guessing. I think Julie still competes and probably is in town for the competition. Char doesn't do it anymore. She's a full-time scholar now, but it seems that she is being groomed to take after her mother as a patron and possible future President of the association. That's what I'm hoping will happen anyway!
About the Maillots, yeah, they are rich, you're right. You probably also know who their dad is, so I won't repeat that. It's been stated numerous times everywhere relating to Charlotte, so there you go. But about your question on their studies. I am pretty sure Julie studies in Paris somewhere. I don't know about Chrissy. We haven't seen Chrissy in pics for ages, have we? Or has anyone? I don't remember seeing Chrissy for quite some time. the last I can remember was in 2003 when their dad received the Legion d'Honneur.

I don't think you got it right. Are you sure your aren't confusing Juliette Maillot and Valentine Pozzo di BOrgo?. Valentine was charlotte's jumping pal, and she is the one who has rich parents ( they own some luxury hotels) and the one who was one level above charlotte in jumping.
Juliette Maillot is the daughter of the director of the Montecarlo Ballet and she is friends with charlotte since both of them were small children but I have never seen her ride a horse. Also, her father, Jean-Christophe Maillot, who got the Légion d'Honneur, three years ago is an artist not an bussiness man so, he is probably well-off since he is very prestigious but he isn't a milllionaire like the Grimaldi, Hannover or Niarchos.

you can read here a short biography of juliettes Maillot father. As you can see he is a succesful artist, probably very well of, but in no way a millionaire:
Born in 1960 in Tours, France, Jean-Christophe Maillot studied dance and piano at the Conservatoire National in that city before joining Rosella Hightower's International School of Dance in Cannes. In 1977 he won the Prix de Lausanne. In 1978, he was invited to join the Hamburg Ballet, where director John Neumeier created principal roles for him in many works.
In 1983, Jean-Christophe Maillot was appointed as choreographer and director of the Ballet du Grand Theatre in Tours, subsequently one of France's National Choreographic Centres. He choreographed some twenty ballets for this company, and in 1985 he founded the festival "Le Chorégraphique". In 1992 he was awarded the title of Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the Minister of Culture, Jack Lang.
In 1993, H.R.H. the Princess of Hannover invited Jean-Christophe Maillot to become director of the Ballets de Monte-Carlo. There, as principal choreographer for a company of fifty dancers, he has continued to make new work: among his creations for the Ballets de Monte-Carlo, are Bêtes Noires, Home, Sweet Home, Dov'è la Luna, Vers un Pays Sage, Roméo et Juliette (performed almost 100 times), Recto Verso, L'Ile, Cendrillon, Entrelacs, Oeil pour oeil.
In addition to his own work, he has broadened and enriched the company's repertoire by inviting the most important contemporary choreographers to work in Monte-Carlo, as well as maintaining works by George Balanchine and from the Ballets Russes, closely linked to the history of the Ballets de Monte-Carlo. For the Printemps des Arts 2000 season in Monaco, he recently created Opus 40, to music by Meredith Monk, set and costumes by new-yorker painter George Condo.
Jean-Christophe Maillot is also regularly invited to stage his works for companies all over the world, and is one of France's most frequently presented choreographers: his ballets have been performed in London, Rome, Madrid, Paris, Brussels, Lisbon, Cairo, New York, Mexico, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Hong Kong, Seoul, Manila, Tokyo, and Brisbane. On the 19 November, 1999, Jean-Christophe Maillot was awarded the title of Officer de l'Ordre du Merite Culturel of the Principality of Monaco. Jean-Christophe Maillot is founder and president of the Monaco Dances Danses Forum.

TuTu recently said she/he had never seen any evidence of Juliette's equestrian past, so I am going to disprove this idea right here.

Do a google search on Juliette sometime. you will come up with a lot of equestrian related results. She was in fact a champion for France several years ago. She was very good. There are many examples of her equestrian past than the links I posted. Too many to try to post here.

Sorry guys -- in advance --
I admit that Charlotte is a very nice looking young woman, but IMO I have to disagree with the posts that say she looked really great at this show. She could have done a whole lot better than ripped blue jeans and the casual look. I know it was a horse show, but come on... these events are a tad more formal than this. it would have been great if she was out shopping or hanging with the friends.

My first thought was she looks like she just woke up and rolled out or had one of those infumous College All Nighters last night. Then came the pic of her giving out a winners cup -- my first thought was What would your Grandma say about that! It would have worked if she was just a spectator, but representing The Family...

I do have to give props to Caroline -- she looked FAB in her outfit!

Oh, I agree. Charlotte is a beautiful girl with a beautiful face. But she hasn't got great style. She definitely didn't inherit her mother's panache.

But did you see how some of the other women with her, especially during the prize-giving, were dressed? Most wearing jeans too. It was mostly very jeans-and-casual, so I think she was dressed appropriately for the occasion.
And both sne and Felix changed later, as others around them did.

[clymène]

I think he looks reaally nice! And even if he didn't , the important thing is what she herself thinks of him and feels with him.

[iceflower]

Wonderful pics, thanks to all who posted some!
It's so nice to see Felix with Charlotte and both Caroline and Charlotte look wonderful as always :)

[stacy_zam]

Princess Caroline and Charlotte look stunning in all of the pics posted by everyone :)

Thanks tbhrc for the information regarding the past Jumpings. I wonder why Albert hasn't attended any of the competitions, maybe he'll be on the closing night. Also where are Andrea, Pierre, and Alexandra since they always attended the Jumping in the past.

Very nice to see Charlotte smiling in many pictures. My favorite ones are those of Caroline with Charlotte. Great seeing Juliette/Chrissy Maillot again after 2 years or so.

When does the Jumping end?
