I second (or third) that thought. I hope that things are truly going well for her and her family.

Does anyone know if P. Caroline plans to make, in 2009, one of her long trips to those poorer countries where children's life conditions ( nourrition, health, education, ... ) is so often forgotten or ignored? She visited Filipinas in 2004 and Africa in 2006 as President of Amade. Will she visit any other poor country this year?

Yes! It's quite funny that you've asked this today, because from tomorrow
on she'll be on such a trip again. According to Amade Mondiale:

H.R.H. The Princess of Hanover will visit Niger on 5-7 February 2009 in order to examine AMADE's activities. The journey will be the opportunity to visit the Health and Research on Sickle Cell Disease Centre, as well as to launch the program for Education on the Ganguel Plateau.

I hope we'll get information as well as pics from that trip!

I wonder if Andrea will make a follow up visit - he seems to follow later on trips she's taken; AMADE still seems to be the one charity he's investing time in, so I hope he either goes with her on this trip, or follows at a later date to see how things are going.

On the Amade site there is one small photo and a mention of the trip to Niger. The link is:

At this site there is a beautiful photo of Princess Caroline with a child - I don't know if the photo is new or not. If it is she has gotten her hair cut again.

Hope it's okay to post links?

The pics in those links are old ones from her last trip. It seems
there has not been any big media coverage like during her last
visit, but I wish there had been as it supports her work and makes
people aware of the problems..
I still hope that a magazine has some exclusive pics, we'll see..

thanks iceflower - sorry for posting old stuff! They really were beautiful photos, though.

And no matter what a person's shortcomings or perceived shortcomings I do think they should be given credit for the good that they do.

You are most welcome, lea

Here are the first pics of Caroline in Niger, not
best quality yet, but in the link you'll find some
very nice shots ( click on the video link and you'll
see them) :

I've found some more pics of the trip, obviously from another
event or day in Niger, as Caroline wears different clothes

I used to be very impressed with Princess Caroline's work with AMADE, until I realized there was one child of African origin she would not be photographed holding, her own nephew. I know, it may not be her doing, etc, etc. But Princess Caroline is a strong woman, as she has clearly shown throughout her life. If she wanted to be seen holding her little nephew, she would. The proverb says, "charity begins at home". What she does, however worthy it may be, pales in comparison to what she could be doing in her own family, and seems too focused on media recognition and adulation.

[Horseygal]

I love picture #4 above - wearing traditional outfit! She even makes THAT look fashionable!!

[iceflower]

Totally agree with you, Horseygal
Here are some more additional pics from the trip:

And finally an article from AMADE about the places Caroline has visited:

TRIP OF H.R.H. THE PRINCESS OF HANOVER IN NIGER

Thank you for the pictures, Iceflower. It's nice to see her wearing traditional outifts. Every time she goes to Africa, she wears the African style. She looks good in wearing them.

I've just heard on the polish radio that princess Caroline would visit Poland at 6th of april.
She will atend concert of Monte Carlo Philharmonic in Warsaw on the occasion of the Ludwig van Beethoven festival.

[iceflower]

Thanks for the information, reniapl, great to hear that Caroline
will support the Monte Carlo Philharmonic during their trip!

Here are some scans of articles about Caroline's trip to Niger:

* Article 1 ** Article 2a ** Article 2b ** Article 2c **

Today on italian magazine " CHI " there is an interesting interview to Princess Caroline as president of AMADE MONDIALE, after her trip in Niger last february.She speaks as a true head of state, with competence and seriosness but also humanity and without cant. I am very impressed.

[rosana]

ulisse, do you know if the interview is online? I cannot find the magazine link.

[ulisse]

Sorry Rosana, I can't help you ! On another italian magazine " A " there is a beautiful reportage about Caroline. Rumours about the end of Albert's relationship with Charlene.
