sm1939... you are right... i think stephanie is starting to look like the OLDER sister... yikes... caroline is quite a bit older than her so that is a bit scarey!

I'm sorry to be negative here but this enthronement seems a bit of fashion disaster to me.
The men looked great through (even Ernst August).

Perhaps Caro and Steph should take some fashion lessons from Nicole Coste. Have anyone seen the most recent photos of hers?

sm1939 · #50 07-14-2005, 06:02 AM

sorry but didnt think any of them looked anything special ,

dianafan · #51 07-14-2005, 06:38 AM

Caroline and Albert laughed much but Stefanie saw there what unfortunately! she did not laugh much on the photograph which I have seen! Will she have thought that day of its father?

**tbhrc** · #52 07-14-2005, 06:45 AM

Well I think everyone thought of Rainier. It's just a few months ago that they have lost their dad. Caroline even cried after the mass and I think a bit during the mass. In one way that day was kind of sad and in the other way absolutly great. The whole family was together to celebrate Prince Albert.

princess Stefanie was always the youngest telg at the Grimaldies and was it most at its father, it must do mar oddly this way further must without their parents! They are, however, adult but nevertheless! I know how it is without parents!

Was ernst really in rehab? He seems to have made a quick recovery if he was really in a coma.

kittencrews · #55 07-14-2005, 11:09 AM

He wasn't in rehab... He was in the hospital 3 months ago!!

Bubbette · #56 07-14-2005, 11:10 AM

Yeah, for what? He seems to have recovered awfully quick.

Some liver disease that alcoholics get after few years of binge drinking.
Soon after getting out of the hospital, he said in an interview that when someone proposed him to go out and get drunk, he couldn't say no.
Always the classy man...

kittencrews · #58 07-14-2005, 11:19 AM

Really? What interview?? Because the interview I read he talked about not drinking and screwing up his life anymore because he has a 5 year old daughter he wants to see grow up.

This very interview. He talked about his alcoholism (in the terms I mentioned above) then he explained that he was going to change his behavior for the sake of his daughter. You will note I used the past in my post, but sorry if it was confusing :)

I just can't say no, says Prince Ernst
Agence France Presse Apr 25 2005

Berlin - Prince Ernst August of Hanover, the husband of Princess Caroline of Monaco, has admitted he has a problem with alcohol, according to a report in the German press on Monday.

"My problem is that I just can't say no," the prince told an Austrian reporter in comments carried by Germany's top-selling Bild newspaper.

"If someone calls me up and suggests going out and getting drunk, then I go.

"Now I will have to learn to make myself hard to find. Then no one will call me and I won't be tempted any more."

The 51-year-old German prince was admitted to hospital in Monaco suffering from pancreatitis on April 5, the day before the death of Caroline's father, Prince Rainier. Pancreatitis can be caused by heavy drinking.

His illness prevented him attending his father-in-law's funeral and his condition was considered to be serious for several days, but he was discharged after 12 days and is now being treated in a clinic in Austria.

The prince said he was afraid that his lifestyle could curtail his life, but added: "I don't want to die yet, my daughter is only five years old.

"For 35 years my lifestyle has been more than difficult. But that is going to change now. I am going to take it step by step."

Ernst August is Princess Caroline's third husband. They married in 1999 and have a daughter, Alexandra.
