Yes, it is very dressy for a sports and a daytime event. It's more suited for a cocktail party.

Is there really such a photograph of CW with a cigarette leaning over the balcony? When? Where? I'm not questioning, just curious as to when this took place. Any photos would be appreciated. Thank you. I think I may have the photos of CW with a cigarette leaning over the balcony. In this...

On the main board of TRF where the latest news are posted (newsletter titled Charlene Wittstock and Prince Albert - Why Now?), it states that CW swam for the University of Pretoria where she graduated. Wikipedia lists this information also and it seems that other online articles and news...

I forgot which source it was but a lady spokesperson (perhaps for Le Figaro?) said that Charlene has prepared for this role as far back as 4 years ago? That statement makes it sound like Charlene was "prepped" or calculated the whole move to Monaco and snaring PA's heart. It makes it sound...

Is there a picture of Charlene post-engagement? PA went to the jumping show alone. Could it be that Charlene did not want to steal the limelight? There's really been no pictures of her alone and/or with PA since the official engagement photo and announcement were released.

Another thing that makes me what to go hmmmm is why the rather impersonal telephone call to Daddy Wittstock (directly quoted from him on The Star, a South African paper) to ask for his only daughter's hand in marriage when PA was in SA only a few days before? PA could have flown in Mommy and...

I'm curious why Charlene was not interviewed with Albert by Nice-Matin.

Pray tell, where did you get this piece of factual information? There's an earlier post on this thread citing a rag that Albert rang up Charlene's father this past Tuesday to ask for her hand. I'm not saying Star Magazine is the best source, but I'm curious where you got the information.

Is the ring what is called a diamond cocktail ring? As for being described as a teacher, I think what the Palace tries to convey without being specific is that she was a swimming instructor - taught swimming to little kids, which she was.

She entered the state room before the guests sitting on the long table and the main table came in. If you can find a overhead picture of the hall, she's on the lower right hand, on one of the circle tables near the pillars.

She kept laughing at something during the ceremony when others just kept a poker face or smiled briefly. I thought it was funny when they were walking out after the ceremony - PA with Anna Wiestling and CW alone seemed like she was catching up to PA to tag along. With that said and reserving...

What I meant to say is that she's in the same table as Princess Alexia who's seated two seats away on the right (in the same table) as CW.

Former Olympic swimmer seated next to former Olympic handball player and the Greek princess, Princess Alexia. I see the theme here.

Felipe and Letizia Daylife VAVVAVOOM! WOW! Talk about standing out in the crowd - the face, the dress, the posture.

I agree. Like I said on the Pre-Wedding Events board, her dress is pretty plain - prom-ish. The material looks cheap and the chest part doesn't fit too nicely - it's sagging. Maybe she should have worn a bra.
