Prince Albert and Princess Charlene's Relationship - Part 2

[NGalitzine]

. If PC can have children then what is the hold up and if she can't then what's the point of PA marrying now after all these years?

Maybe because he found someone he wanted to marry. Not everyone gets pregnant on their wedding night. Victoria of Sweden is a few months older than Charlene and didnt have a child within the first 12 months. Whether or not they have a child will be up to them and mother nature,

 

[COUNTESS]

One never knows. I am sure she can have children. Maybe they wanted a period of time before, so people would not say that was his "reason" to marry her. I think they both care for each other and notice that the hysterical headlines that appeared before their wedding, disappeared. No, illigitimate children bounding about.

It's testing on the amniotic fluid of a pregnant woman. It's to find out whether the baby is healthy. There's some risk of miscarriage with it.

In January Charlene will be thirty five and that is the age they I think start amnio on ladies wishing to have children. Hope they have a child soon and start that family that is supposed to happen.All the best

yes it would be nice to see a little one or one's in Monaco im sure if they are having trouble the prince can go to the best fertility doctors money can buy im sure they have done that already i really hope they do have children

 

[rosana]

I know people who have had children at 40. Princess Caroline had Alexandra at 42. But I always was suspicious about them and the purpose of the marriage. Only they know.

Only they know - that's it! We won't speculate about any fertility matters - thanks for your understanding!

 

[XeniaCasaraghi]

(...)
I had suspicious about Charlene and Albert, she was young and breathtaking and marrying this older, bald guy with a beer belly. But as soon as they both chose to walk down that aisle I have wished them well; nobody deserves an unhappy marriage. (...)

 

[MARG]

That's great, especially as they seem to be so very happy with each other and rather sweetly in love if the photo's from the Olympics are anything to go by.

 

[vkrish]

One good thing about having kids as late as possible (if at all they plan to have) is, the heir will be young and charismatic when he inherits the throne.
You know these days youthful glamour is enough to ward off half the Republicans and critics (though Monaco is a different case)..

 

[burnt]

Well.he is'nt getting any younger.Two children from mothers he did'nt marry and none yet from the woman that he married.Throne is secure tho thru Caroline's line.

 

[Dman]

I try not to speculate about Albert & Charlene's future children. The way I see it, they probably will have some children at some point. Although, I don't think the focus is on Albert's age because men can go on to produce children in their 50's, 60's and even 70's but I think the focus is on Charlene. Can't be easy for her.

 

[kathia_sophia]

^yes that makes me remenber Princess Stephanie of Luxembourg parents, I believe her mother was 43 and her father 62 when she was born. So there's still many years ahead of them, but I strongly believe they will have children at some point, even if its an only child, as Charlene stated before, she wants to form a family of her own, I also believe Albert would want a child with Charlene.

 

[LadyGabrielle]

Well I keep holding my breath for an announcement at some point but so far I have only turned purple. I am hoping that they do have a pregnancy soon, they really are not getting any younger. I know having children when you are older is not out of the question but, come on. It makes me wonder how the relationship is going. It does concern me a little. An heir through Caroline is not what I want to hear. Just saying.

 

[AfricanAUSSIE]

Wow, I would not cope with the kind of pressure she is now under. The wedding must have been stressful enough with all those negative rumors.

I think it a good idea for her to take the time to settle in after the ordeal and to get accustomed to the princess role a little. And they do have access to the best medical help available so they do have that advantage. We can wait.

 

[C4A]

I completely agree with you, AfricanAussie. She has looked much more relaxed and at ease lately than in the months following their wedding. She also exudes a lot more confidence( interview Ladies Lunch ). She has also said that P Albert is a very compassionate and patient man, so I would think that he would support her while she eases into her role as princess. I do believe that they will have children eventually, but as was the case with them getting married, they will not allow outside pressure to rush them into parenthood.

 

[MarNoe]

Wouldn't being under a lot of stress affect one's ability to get pregnant? Just asking.

It doesn't help.

Come on, every royal/celebrity has that "stress"..Did it "affect" their ability to get pregnant? And BTW she is not some neurosurgeon/police-chief/astronaut or anything remotely closely to any profession to be that much stressed out...Actually the stress-phase (sports career) of her life is over. People in Monaco hardly bother their royals..She is not hounded like Diana/Kate..So whats the problem (stress-wise)..
Except the Masako case (we ll never know the real cause/details) I dont remember anyone not able to conceive because of this "stress"..

Stressing about not conceiving can actually cause difficulties conceiving. It's not a case of having stress in your life, it's a case of stressing about conceiving.

 

[Frelinghighness]

^yes that makes me remenber Princess Stephanie of Luxembourg parents, I believe her mother was 43 and her father 62 when she was born. So there's still many years ahead of them, b

Stephanie of Lux was the last child of many children for her older parents.
Having a child at age 43 after successfully delivering several children, like Caroline of Monaco, is not the same as having a first child at such an advanced age.
Charlene is 35, the age when fertility begins to decline rapidly, not to mention complications of all kinds. They certainly can afford all kinds of fertility treatments if need be.

 

[BrazilianEmpire]

The Princess of Monaco never looks very happy (she remind me of Diana, Princess of Wales).

I wonder if Princess Charlene and Prince Albert have a happy marriage.

Now I do hope they produce at least a heir, because the prospect of "Prince Sacha" freaks me out.

 

[NGalitzine]

I would think that the workings of her womb and the nature of their relationship is something that is entirely their own business and no one elses.
They certainly looked quite happy in the recent French documentary about a year in the life of Albert, and I liked the scene when they were waving from the balcony but holding hands behind their backs.

Well, but that's exactly the purpose of this thread. "Prince Albert and Princess Charlene's Relationship - Part 2"

Well said!!

 

[Princess Luna]

I still don`t know why Charlene and Albert got married. Looking back at the wedding, there were absolutely NO love or warmth between them whats so ever. Even Albert`s wedding speech was just embarrasing, what was he thinking? And seeing them together on events, they both look so miserable. I belive that this marriage is just a "business deal" and nothing else

I confess I also was uncomfortable with the footage I viewed but I cannot understand how it can be a business deal. What is the benefit for each? Especially her? And if there are children, what person would put them through such an arrangement?

It does not make sense, so I must think that they were reacting to all the negative press at the time?

 

[C4A]

I definitely don't think that their marriage is just a business agreement, in fact I believe they are truly in love. There are many, many examples of spontaneous gestures of affection between them, both in footage of the wedding and on occasions thereafter. I'm thinking in particular of their recent visit to Palau where she spontaneously took his hand, at a recent charity function where she kissed him, last year's Red Cross Ball where they kissed and danced very closely. On his part, one notices that he always has his arm around her or he's holding her hand. With regards to the wedding footage we must bear in mind that these may have been edited in such a way as to feed the speculation and rumours at the time. I have incidentally just watched some of the longer unedited coverage of the religious ceremony as well as a longer version of P Albert's speech in the wedding thread and I saw many glances, looks, smiles, hand holding that suggest to me that they were happy to get married.

 

[melina premiere]

The speech of prince Albert during his wedding was not poor

– Jeg tror dette er den beste beslutningen jeg har tatt - Kultur-og-underholdning - NRK

We saw Charlene kissing The hand of Albert with many love. I sent the link of the official video of the wedding on Daylimotion, it is the weeding filmed of other side and we see The couple laughing, hand crosses or speaking.

I am ok with C4A, there are many vidos of Albert and Charlene holding their hands, kissing or dancing during the red cross gala or in Palau or the kiss of Charlene to Albert at the saint david gala.I often send you these videos and at my surprise, there are never posts after the sending of these posts.

Charlene was the girlfriend of Albert from 2006 to 2012, there were many gestures of love between them and I read from some persons who already said 'itis not true, they will never marry.

And my Got! Why would Albert find a girl who lived 8000 kms from the principality, Who did not speak french, who was protestant and not catholic, who did not know the rules of the fashion, the courtyard of Monaco if it is a deal wedding? He could find a girl speaking french, smart, catholic, living near the principauty, knowing the rules of Monaco . Many wifes wanted to be a princess of Monaco and he had the choice. he could stay not married , he always said that Caroline, her chidren Stephanie and her chidren can be heirs of monaco and then princes or princesses of monaco.

Prince Albert and Charlene always win against the tabloids which wrotte bad rumors about his wedding. he said also that now, he knew the name of the persons who said that Chaelene tried to fly to South Africa before the wedding.

 

[C4A]

You are right of course, Melina P. He could have married anyone if he just wanted to have an heir, even one of the mothers of his children. The link you posted of his speech is the one that I was referring to and the Dailymotion videos do provide a better coverage of the ceremony. I really don't understand how anyone can still doubt the love between these two, especially if you think of the pics from the Olympics...

 

[AfricanAUSSIE]

What are your reasons for thinking it is a business deal PrincessLuna?

I wonder if I was manipulated by the media at the time. I had not seen this speech (thank you for the link Melina) and although I do not see a couple madly in love - normal if you have been an item for so long - they do seem comfortable with each other, unlike footage I have viewed previously.

I would love to know what you think as I really don't see the business deal.

What say you?
