Elspeth, Thank you for the post!
I believe I am pretty much in agreement with you! And appreciated your posts.
I tried to give a
few examples, because not long ago, more than a few of us posted even more examples. If they want to see the picture of Charlene staring into the camera with her head in his lap, or her remarks to the press. Or her interviews she gives, (she is more than Chatty) where she poses for pictures on the cover of Paris Match promoting herself as something? as well as copying the Grace Kelly poses provided inside (this was early in the game). Remarks in regard to her swimming & SA team? Photo shoots where she is posing as a model & more interviews? They will need to do
their own research,
before telling us we are not being fair? Which translates that we do not have the right to our opinions. Some of us may be at a more mature age as someone suggested, as well as being in industries where we are in the business of where we are able to understand the proper protocols of both politicians & celebrities and generally the importance of being discreet & mature about it. But this should be common sense to anyone.
The cookies comment, is in reference to a series of posts including mine that went back & forth about "What Charlene will bring to Monaco"? Which I was only responding to, and was not the one who posed the question in the first place? I was trying to get across that I wasn't sure what she would/could bring to Monaco, as the poster never offered that up? (IMO) Charlene has not showed us she had any kind of altruistic nature, as yet? So I was curious as to what she thought Charlene would bring? When the poster seemed very confused, even though she evidently thought she would bring something? But never supplied us with an answer or opinion? I offered up a possible answer to her question?? This is one example of frustration which leads to some people going over board, such as myself on occassion.
I agree with your suggestions what she might want to at least be perceived doing, but even I have not gone that far to suggest it, as I agree this is not her position yet. Which is why I guess you can tell by now, I do not understand all her public promotion. All she had to do in my book, was keep her mouth shut, try to keep out of the tabloids with quotes & avoid giving full interviews for whatever reason that seem beyond her own merit! That seems a pretty wise & simple thing to do, where she could have avoided inviting all the criticism & speculation they are receiving? I'm with you, I would rather see her on the wrong end, by being overly prepared, if you are going to spend as much time as she has in another country, anyone would probably attempt to learn the language. Perhaps she is? So I have avoided comment on it. Elspeth, Thanks again for the posts. I think I will give it a rest for awhile
