The only thing that has been low key was her private life that wasn't flashing at everyone in the news shops. And IMO that is how it should be: she was seen where it was important and her private life stayed mostly private.

Completely agree ... I'm also annoyed Bunte never reports on Steph's fight against Aids and all the activities she involved with. They only pop up from time to time with an article about her when they think she has a new boyfriend. In my opinion they are doing this on purpose ever since - they try to make her look like the wild child all the way.

Hello! article:

Monaco's Alexandra gets a royal lesson from mum Caroline

Princess Caroline of Hanover has brought up her four children largely away from the spotlight. That doesn't mean they are anything less than confident on formal royal occasions, however, as her youngest daughter Alexandra proved when she delivered a charming royal wave of greeting to the crowds celebrating Monaco national day.

I agree, I don't like what she's been wearing now adays. She's dressing like she's seven years old again. I hope she glams up her style more.

Great pics everyone. Thanks to all who posted them. My favorite is the one with Albert and Alexandra where he is caressing her cheek. It looks so sweet.

She was probably really tired by that point.

I know I'm voting against popular opinion here, but I didn't like Stephanie's suit at all. Horizontal stripes around the bottom are never good.

And I thought she looked haggard.

And Albert's tailor needs a flogging. Maybe Ernst could give him some fashion advice (I never believed I would say that!).

No rules without exceptions - Stephanie has a great bottom even for horizontal stripes.

Her swimming gives good results!

Grace · #**152** 11-21-2006, 04:41 PM

Actually, even if Steph has a very toned body, I didn't like her outfit either...

rosana · #**153** 11-21-2006, 04:44 PM

Why does P. Albert use these horrible blue trousers? Maybe it´s the uniform, but it´s ugly.

Johnnie · #**154** 11-21-2006, 04:55 PM

Caroline - The mass/balcony outfit was interesting,in a matronly way, but what's with the obsession with all the 'Jackie Onassis' pillbox hats? The 60's are over, honey.Caroline's short coiff just will NOT do - she needs to grow her hair shoulder length - with bangs - again. And Caroline, you need to stop colouring your hair at home with Miss Clairol - get thee to a Parisian salon, where they can add the flattering chestnut highlights. This stark black hair thing has GOT to go.

Stephanie - No, no, NO to horizontal lines, sweety! You have an awesome figure and very well shaped legs and calves, so work with them! And will someone please take this woman to a Clarins skin care spa! Her skin is starting to match her purses. Stay out of the sun, dump the ciggies, lots of water, veggies and olive oil. Stephanie truly was an exceptionally pretty woman, and she can be again.

Charlotte: Aye yi yi, where does one begin? That outfit, especially the jacket, looked as if it were wrung through the washing machine and shrunk. And please, Charlotte, NO black hose/stockings with that colour of outfit. And drop the schoolgirl headband look - you're going on 21. By the by, while this guy thinks Charlotte is a very pretty young woman, I just don't get, don't see this "she's a gorgeous knock-out" thing.

Ernst - Looks good, but the man needs ample servings of schnitzel and noodles - he's too thin.

Pierre - needs to head to the nearest Monte Carlo barber, STAT.

wow i dont think i could have agreed with you more! you hit it all on the spot.. its weird because i just couldnt explain what i didnt like about caroline and charlotte...
btw.. does anyone know how to get charlottes hair color.. i know hers is natural.. but i would like to dye my hair her color.. everytime i try to dye it it turns out an orangie or too dark.. any brands that are good? thanks a bunch

princess gertrude · #**156** 11-21-2006, 05:55 PM

IMO Princess Caroline looks awful! That hat and that "old lady" looking outfit, I know that she knows how to dress, I've seen many, many more glamerous suits & dresses on her. I'll forgive her this once, hopefully it won't happen again!

try a good hairdresser, honey, it's worth it. A good hairdoo is a better investment the facy clothes or make-up. Besides if you have a real good hairdresser, there is no need to have them cut every 6 weeks. choose a cut that you can style easily yourself (so not to fancy styling) that looks natural. And have them dye it a tad darker then desired (especially after summer) after a few weeks it tends to wash out. Off topic, but snce you asked.

As to hairdye, I think last years colour suited Steph much better. It is way too dark. When I looked at the first pics, I thought she was going extremely grey or bold for a few seconds because the skin on her head was too white. Also it makes her face a bit too hard and accetuates the lines. A lighter warm brown colour would suit her much better.JMO

Everyone has his or her own voice. Individuals have various opinions whether popular or unpopular. It is natural to think differently.

Look at PA pictures from last year’s inaugural ceremony and compare the pictures to this year National Day. He has lost some weight and looks much healthier. I was amazed at how much weight he lost.

I liked PA’s royal uniform and his conservative dressing style; it fits him because
he is head of state.

Thanks to everyone who posted pictures, schedule of events and special comments regarding National Day. The entire royal family looked great!..

I 'm afraid it has happened several times this past year. Pitty really.

Btw in todays paper was a pic from the lunch in the palace. I don't think I have ever seen any pics from inside on National Holiday, apart from a few shots last year on TF1. From what I could tell, Stephs children were not present.

Johnnie · #**160** 11-21-2006, 06:24 PM

Agreed. While, true, Caroline is 49 going on 50, there is no excuse for this 'old lady' look, as the poster above noted. There are plenty of outfits which would both flatter her and not appear too 'young' on her. Judging from the way she dresses and presents herself lately, you'd think she thought she was going on 65 years old. Especially the sleeves of that outfit, which extended down to her half forearm; it reminds me of dresses/outifits my Nana (grandmother) used to wear.

I can't believe that nobody mentioned anything to Charlotte about that get-up of hers. Every time I see that God-awful shrunken jacket, I cringe. It didn't even sit well on her shoulders, and did anyone notice the collar of that jacket? It looked as if it could have used a good ironing.

Well, at least both mother and daughter have gotten over their 'Chicken feather' thing (Charlotte's outfit for Albert's bid day, which made her look like Little Bo-Peep, and Caroline's 'I ran smack into a chicken truck' disaster at one of the previous gala events.

While we're at this, I do wish someone would advise/steer Albert into a better mode of dressing. His suits are boring, unflattering, and make him look like a slightly overweight soft boiled egg. The man needs tailored Armani or Valentino.

Sorry folks, I really don't mean to be catty here, but let's be honest; this family could use some sprucing up, big time.

I agree about Stephanie's hair colour. A soft shade of brown, perhaps with auburn highlights would 'soften' her face; compliment it more, and it wouldn't hurt for her to grow it a little longer, again, to soften her features. I also think Stephanie would look awesome in an olive green outfit, even copper colours and browns.

Caroline; she would look so much better with a chestnut colouring to her hair, and as I said before, she really should grow it shoulder length again with bangs; it makes her look years younger.

The Grimaldi daughters seem lately to be, sadly, no match for their beautiful late mother. Now, true, they are more 'Grimaldi' in appearance than they are 'Kelly', but, still. While true, Grace did dress somewhat matronly in her later years, she was a stunnningly beautiful woman in her 50's.
