There are also pictures attacched.

I don't know where Charlene lives the majority of the time but I'm sure that if Albert didn't like it, it wouldn't be happening. He would hardly let his heirs live somewhere he didn't approve of.
As for enemies, I'm sure Charlene has her share of detractors but I'm equally sure she has her supporters at the Palace.
Chi is VERY gossipy, fun to read but to be taken with an ENORMOUS pinch of salt!

Well, as Cap Ferrat is incredible beautifull, and Monte Carlo is as ugly as the City of London I can relate very well, why anyone would prefer living there instead of Monte Carlo :)

Pardon, but is Montecarlo really that ugly? I don't think so, actually, I think the whole state of Monaco is very pretty IMO

Monaco is not to everyone's taste - it's a city which is constantly tearing down buildings and building anew. It still has some beautiful Belle Époque buildings,and whenever a major new building project is undertaken, the landscaping/ gardens / public art are major considerations. I think it is harsh to call it ugly, but even if I had the financial means to live there, I would by choice, choose either Cap Ferrat or Cap Martin.

On a different note, do we know if the Monaco Against Autism gala will be taking place next month? I don't think there was one last year as Charlene was pregnant but I imagine it will be happening again this year. I checked the internet but can't find any info about it.

The site of Monaa stopped last year when the vice president of the association killed his mother in law, the association went on but there was no more site on the web
There is a new site on the web since this summer, Mr Falco is the president and the association is Under the patronage of princess Charlene who is the honor president as the last years
Monaa - .
I think there will be a gala but there is no date of a gala on the site
The date of the first gala in 2012 was not announced, it was on invitations as in 2013
Usually, the galas took place end november just before the national fest
The medias are saying anything,
At the beginning of the year, began a big renovation of the palace, the prince explained that they did not want that the babies stayed in the dust also they moved in a villa in cap Ferrat because Roc Agel their other residence was also in renovation but the works are finished in Roc Agel and Albert said in a interview in july 'People' that they are living in Roc Aggel
Prince Albert and Princess Charlene's Twins 'Almost Swimming' : People.com
There are two sessions in the renovation of the palace there was one session which began from january to april , it stopped during the summer but there is now the second session who began in september after the princess Grace gala and it will finish mi november. princess Charlene and the twins were in Corsica during september as Albert travelled a lot ( Toronto, New York, Paris , China, Portugal last week, Chili and now Palau in the South east of Asia),
Cap Ferrat is finished since april it rained a lot in the South of France there were a lot of floods , damage and dead people near Nice, Mandelieu, cannes and also in corsica, the family is living in Roc Agel as princesse Grace did when she was alive, she liked to live in Roc Agel during automn where she painted
The link of the interview of the prince Albert saying in Radio Monaco that the twins are living in Roc Agel, it was in july for the celebration of the ten years of his reign
Le prince Albert II au Monaco press club, dix ans de règne en questions
Prince Albert said in the interview of Paris Match last week that Princess charlene is supporting him for his defense of the envotonment, they will very soon do a common action in their own foundation for the clean of the beachs.

Dear Florestane,
I catch you point, "CHI" is a gossip magazine for sure, but I just reported what the magazine said in the article, this doesn't mean that I agree with "CHI". I think that we are all (me in Italy, you in UK, someone else in France) living in democratic Country where we have freedom in speech and thought, isn't it? It seems to me that in this forum you cannot express yourself or you cannot report any news which is not in favor of the Royal Couple, especially for Princesse Charlene. Melina Premiere replied to the information I posted calling me idiot.
I don't think this is acceptable.
Have a good day!

^^^ Dear noda - I honestly fail to see how either florestane or melina p may have insulted/criticised you in their posts. Melina pointed the article out as being idiotic whereas florestane also just made a statement. Nothing personal there, I think.

I wasn't criticising you or indeed, saying that you necessarily agreed with Chi! I was giving my opinion.
I am far from being Princess Charlene's biggest supporter and have felt the same frustration as you at being unable to say what I think without having a long detailed lecture on how in fact, she walks on water, she is a million times better than any other princess (usually Kate or Caroline - apparently you have to pick sides) and works all the hours God sends whilst displaying amazing linguistic skills because French is an enormously difficult language to learn.
I don't actually think on this occasion that Melina was calling you an idiot, I think she was saying the article was idiotic...

How did I miss these new photos of the twins? They're adorable. I'm not a fan of Gabriella's headband however, but having said that I'm not a big fan of headbands on babies in general. And before anyone says anything; I'm not criticising Charlene or anyone else in the family. I'm just sharing my opinion.
I think Jacques resembles Albert the most though I'm not sure who Gabriella resembles.

I don't like things on babies heads either unless it's for warmth or sun protection. Clips bands etc mainly just annoy little ones.

I think the opposite. I think Jacques resembles to Charlene and Gabriella to Albert. But again it is as you look at it.

It's unusual to see any resemblance of a newborn baby, but with the twins one could see who they looked like from their birth! Gabriella is strikingly a mini Albert and she is very precious, while Jacques is the carbon copy of Charlene... I'm sure he will be handsome boy once he is grown up... just give him time
