    Prince Albert II of Monaco and Charlene Wittstock: Civil Wedding - July 1, 2011

    Um...The French news publication which reported the runaway story is a HIGHLY credible and reputable one, as are the journalists who reported the story. I find it refreshing that certain serious media outlets are focusing on the true substance of Monaco, not the surface, glossy PR spin and rhetoric.

    Prince Albert II of Monaco and Charlene Wittstock: Civil Wedding - July 1, 2011

    LOL! I agree! I also agree that everyone has the right to "voice" their opinions about the Grimaldi family. The endless flowery, sugary comments from people buying into all this is fine - that's their opinion. But there's a flip side to all of this.

    Rose Ball, Monaco: 2005 - 2024

    "Don't fret just tell us what you think they should wear --- give us the whole nine yards!!!" Well, I'd love to, Hibou, but I've been kindly requested to maintain respect for all, including those from the United States of Obama, I mean, America. But don't fret, Phila pet. Cheers!;)

    The Queen, the Obamas and the G20 Summit: April 2, 2009

    My Dear California Dreamin', it's simply a matter of good graces. And as for Mr. Bush, well, he is quite another matter, altogether. One blessed with any sense of intelligence could rightly observe that Mr. Bush was quite without class of any sort. I do believe the "nitpicking" as you deem it...

    The Queen, the Obamas and the G20 Summit: April 2, 2009

    It was, and is, the perrogative of Her Majesty to interact with a guest in her presence as She wishes. Granted, She did in fact reach out and initiate the physical contact. That said, Mrs. Obama (or anyone, for that matter) MUST exercise both caution and common sense when the aformentioned...

    The Queen, the Obamas and the G20 Summit: April 2, 2009

    Oh, those Obamas. Barack is quite overrated, in my humble opinion. One does tire of "all glitz and no substance" after a while. I do think it was QUITE out of place for Mrs. Obama to be so forward with Her Majesty, yet one supposes that one must overlook the social differences of the Americans...

    Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh Current Events 20: March-October 2009

    Her Majesty looks quite lovely; that colour very much suits her. A grand lady; one who has risen above the horrid trials and tribulations of the land. Suffice to say She is endowed with true grace.

    National Day Monaco: 2006 - 2023

    On another note, people here have stated they find Pierre to be very handsome. Sorry, but I just don't see it. He's an alright looking guy, but nothing special - just my opinion. Andrea is also not as handsome as he was in his younger years. I've said it before and I'll say it again: from...

    National Day Monaco: 2006 - 2023

    LOL! Hey Pruts...yes, Caroline DID choose the "hat/cap" NOT her head! ;-) I agree with you that black/grey are considered classic and chic, but there's still a lack of style present here. That said, if Caroline and Steph had added some colour to their faces - makeup, it would have REALLY...
