You can't compete in the new CSI Monaco unless you are a 1m45 jumper (except the invites and the kids). Charlotte rode in the CSI Monaco at Fontvieille up through 2003 because she was an invited rider and representative of the Monaco Equestrian Federation. She could not compete in the 'real' prize events. I have long thought that Charlotte is quite good at amateur level but not quite to be a real World-class rider. Am I wrong?

That's a pretty accurate accounting. She is not an Olympic level rider like Athina. Non the less she is a very nice rider and if she were living in the US and riding the Amateur owner div. I would imagine she would do well.
