If the christening were anywhere else but Sweden I wouldn't really expect the Monaco Royals to be asked but they seem quite friendly with the Swedish Royal Family so who knows.

Have anyone noticed the use of a English "false friend" of a French word on the English biography page of princess Charlene? It says: Her father, Mr. Mickael Wittstock, was born in 1946 and is actually a sales manager. when the French page says: Son père, M. Mickael Wittstock (1946) exerce actuellement la profession de Directeur Commercial. There is a difference in meaning between "actually working" and "for the moment working".

There is no difference between these two meanings. Mike Wittstock is yet working now.

The tricky false friends. A mistake from the translator which completely changes the meaning.

I think the Monaco website translator isn't doing a great job.
Le mariage princier was translated as the royal wedding instead of princely wedding.

50minutes inside did a report today saying that thanks to the wedding of Princess Charlene and Prince Albert, the glamour, the jetset and stars are back in Monaco.
They also interviewed Charles of Bourbon-Siciles, his wife and daughters
Folle vie à Monaco

Just like when Grace was alive. But then, Charlene is a worthy successor to Grace.

 My god!!!!
Well, who said we cannot disagree with 50minutes  . I cannot think of a less glamurous couple, especially because of the lady´s body (...). But anyway, thanks 50 minutes for the laugh of the day!

Yes, since the wedding there are many people at allthe public events on Monaco. The narional fest, Gala of circus, Sainte Devote fest( there was not many people at the burning of the canot,this year, many people of monaco and many foreighn people attended to this event), there was many people at the final of the masters, many people at the Rose ball, all the hotels were full during the week of the Grand Prix. The report showed all the people who came to watch the race, rich or less rich.
yes, glamour is again on Monaco

I don't care for the order or the sash that much.
But it's about time to see the ocean tiara where it belongs, on Charlene's head

From what I read in another article these are some of the lower valued cars in the collection. PR used to get at least 1 new car, usually a Rolls, from the people of Monaco every year. I'm sure they have many of his cars left. Apparently the site where the car museum is will be repurposed for development so they had to pare down the collection.

It is only a sign of what Albert is doing with Monaco in times of serious economic problems.

I don't think so. They balanced their budget this year and have an emergency fund with over 1 billion Euros in it. I wish the US could say the same.
