Charlene Wittstock Current Events 4 : June 2006 - Aug.2006

[Suonymona]

Why do I have the feeling that Charlene was told to cool it and that she is letting her family do the "she can do great with or without him" interviews-then when Albert finally does dump her (after the photo lawsuit is settled), she can appear to the media as the one who ended things because he wasn't right for her?

I can definitely see why we don't hear about PA's real girlriends. Anyone who would be a great support for Albert and good for Monaco would not want this much attention until it was necessary.

I can't find any interviews or comments by CW- I have heard mention of them several times on this thread and the previous one. Does anyone know the link? I am getting mixed up going through all the pages.

I don't know much about Charlene but I have to wonder about her. I like Albert in general but he's not proven himself the sort of guy you rush to get married to- it just seems like too many skeletons in his closet to come out and embarass his future wife. She must either really love him or his title. I don't know which.

They're sporty together though so that's good that they can have fun together.

I don't understand how else a "real" anyone of importance would be seen or heard any more. Millions of people ,world -wide olympic viewers saw many, many photo shots; verbal attention from the podium speaker. Dressed up couple meeting, being introduced to English royalty,peers and dignitaries.

Big Maldives romantic pictures, big spectacular birthday celebration. Monaco celebrations. This seemed like, with one improper exception, a very proper,respectful,important relationship. The monarch was in absolute and total charge, control and orchestration, as he mostly always is. Whatever was, was how HSH wanted it, otherwise he h ad only to speak or wave his hand one way or the other. To me,that's total logic.

So here we are, he's still in charge. Whatever the speculation,etc is that's the bottom line, and really that's where the buck stops.

Neat, you have more or less put your finger on the thing that bothers me most about Albert: his (IMO) unlogical and inconsistent behaviour. This whole CW thing is a good example of it. Her family talks. A lot. Something that's a no-no when your hanging out with a celeb/royal/prince. Still he keeps seeing her. He says he don't want to subject his girlfriend to the media. What does he do: he takes his girlfriend (mistress?/....?/something) to several public functions. Including an IOC meeting she certainly doesn't belong. He claims he's a private person but I saw a lot of public (friends, waiters) on the Maldives pics. And those pics were somewhat private-ish. (I'm trying to be nice here ) A lot, and I mean an awful lot, has been written about CW and Albert, where are all the lawsuits? He keeps awfully quiet on the court cases front. Suspiciously quiet. So quiet that we still haven't heard the outcome of three pending (or silently settled?) cases. And this list goes on and on.

Basically everything about CW & Albert is inconsistent. I don't have an explanation (except the decoy theory) and would love to hear those of others. Oh, and it is driving me slightly crazy. (Sorry, more crazy than I already am that is )

BTW, I find it suspicious that this calming interview from papa Wittstock comes soon after Albert spoke to the local newspaper about the same thing. He too, played the whole thing down. Papa Wittstock may not have met Albert but that doesn't mean they haven't talked on the phone? Or via CW or Mr. Lacoste? Both parties are basically saying the same thing a short time apart. Coordinated, coincidence? Calming things before the announcement? Albert certainly won't say that he's going to announce his engagement next month, so if he is or if he isn't, the answers are going to be the same anyway.

Hey, I'm an X-files fan: Deceive, inveigle and obfuscate....

My thoughts exactly. Her father was so totally into saying how lucky she was to be with PA and how she didn't care about his past affairs and she wasn't clinging to PA, but she wants to be the only one that PA would be dating.

Now his stance seems like 'oh well, she can take it or leave it, whatever she wants to do as long as she's happy.'

Good thing CW family is with her for this roller coaster ride, they can help her to manage it all. imo, CW and PA have some kind of agreement that he helps her by introducing her around in the right circles and at the same time she helps him scrub his image by escorting him around a few places and appearing in some pics with him. I also think they are in some kind of relation of sort.

For better or worse, CW made her own grown up decision when she decided to carry on with PA, nobody forced her to do anything. And nobody knows what's going on with PA and CW except PA and CW. Only time will tell on this...

but did pere Wittstock say too much too soon? I just hope CW makes the absolute most of the connections so she can make a nice place for herself no matter what PA decides to do (or not do).

We'll have to just wait and see...

I don't think he has talked to Albert. in the interview he says he is willing to meet Albert wherever and whenever he choses. That doesn't sound to me like they ever had contact. To me it sounds like he is asking him for a duell on the field of honour. And that is what he is trying to do IMO with this whole interview. He is trying to protect his daughters (and family's) honour. He is pretty clumsy about is, but then again he doesn't have years of training to deal with the press. with the exception maybe with sports journalists, but they usually don't interest themselves in the private lives of people as tabloid journalists. He was a bit naive with them from the beginning and definitely out of his league.

Yes. imo, it was Charlene's very public behavior in Turino and pic of her in other places with Albert and then her interviews and comments that put CW and anyone who knows her that is willing to talk (her family, mainly) right square in the papprazi bullseye. I can imagine her father would not want to see Charlene hurt by the situation, although I doubt that anything like that would happen.

But I would guess just the public pressure would be enough to cow anyone.

He seems to be trying to handle the massive crush of attention the only way he knows how (I'm sure he's gotten tired of it by now too -- or maybe not). Albert would not be like anyone else she's ever been palling around with, that's for sure...

How long we are going to beat the air?
Having a nice girl as an escort it's the matter of prestige in midst of rich people.

 

[Suonymona]

Not many people think Charlene is a nice girl in ANY sense of the word.

[AquaMarine]

Who said that tastes of PA and all other people must be equal? The main thing - Charlene suited PA' taste and it was enough for some time

 

[DuchessofCambridge]

why don't people think CW is nice in any sense of the word? This is not a challenge, it's a simple question so I hope someone will please answer

^^^ So she is still in Monaco! I'm convinced she was in the other vacation pics.

I'm with you Burberry. I still think the girl with her back to the camera in the boat pictures is her. Her hair looks like it is styled up a bit at the bottom that's why it is shorter than what we are used to. I think it was wishful thinking on some poster parts to say that it definately isn't CW.

Yeah, which is understandable.

 

[miraglia1983]

Relax! Charlene is not in those pictures. She could be back in Monaco for the Red Cross Ball and who knows what might happen, but she is definitely not in those pictures.

 

[BurberryBrit]

^^ You're speculating just like the rest of us are. No need to get snippy. Some us us think it's her. Some of us think it's not her. There's a difference of opinion. End of story.

 

[ronda]

Whether or not she was there is not the issue, I think what is without a
doubt, is that Charlene is here to stay. Albert I feel has chosen her as
'' the one'', and we had better get used to it. Sad but true .. IMO

 

[Lakshmi]

I belong to these who think that it's, unfortunately , Charlene in the pictures. She might be here to stay but not for long I hope.

Sweet pictures .... she's got a very lovely smile.

 

[Freedom]

Charlene looks confident and at ease in these pics. I love her dress too.

On the whole issue of them together: If he is happy, then there is nothing I should say otherwise. It's his life...and none of my business.

Thanks for saying this, Freedom - it would be good if people would take it like you : not too serious.
I agree, she looks sweet.

I see a lot of motorcycles in the background of the photos. Maybe they were attending a motor cycle rally. The gentleman pictured with her looks like Prince Albert's personal trainer.

The unidentified man is Alberts personal coach Jean camille.

The motorcycles are there because that's where they are allowed to park. It looks like they are crossing from the street coming from the Fontivielle Port or stadium towards the shopping mall. Maybe they went to decathlon, which is a big sports shop right on the other side of the crossing.
