this morning on mmonaco matin, there is an article about the travel of the princely couple at Nepal last month, there are photos. I could read it because i have a subcription. It told about their visit to the schools, the hospital , it was trekking because there are no roads, they slept under a tent (camping) and they visit a hospital and so.
It is not yet on line ,only on the newspaper and I do not know how to send you this report.
I hope you could see the photos which are nice

Wonderful pictures, thank you for sharing!

[Smush]

It's getting colder, even in Monaco
Thanks for the pics!

[LovelyKate]

Thanks for these pics! Albert and Charlene seem relaxed, they even have some public tender gestures. These Christmas pics are perfect.

[rominet09]

Nice images ! They look lovely !

[KittyAtlanta]

Great to see those photos. I wonder what Albert will present to Charlene as a Christmas gift? Will we find out? Hope so!

I would welcome Charlene's coat into my wardrobe. The detailing is simply exquisite in the close ups...not a stitch out of line and the cut is great.

I saw a great ruby and diamond necklace that will be in the Elizabeth Taylor auction.

Thank you for these wonderful pictures of Charlene and Albert.
I've never seen them so relaxed and funny in public, especially Albert is having a lot of fun with the kids.
I would love to see them so relaxed more often!!!!!!!!!!

we saw also the couple very relaxed in Monaco, but many times, they use to attend to events with protocol, here Charlene uses to be relaxed in South Africa, we saw the same photos of her in February when she was in Durban for the swimming at Milemare. The children and people here are natural, spontaneous and it is contageous to the prince and princesse Charlene.

[Smush]

That's exactly what I mean. Protocol.
Why does it always have to be so strict and cold?!?!
Remember when President Jelzin visited President Clinton and they both laughed till they cried (due to Jelzin being a bit drunk)?!
That's what everybody remembers and most of us like to see.
Relaxed and happy people doing their job!
Just like Charlene and Albert did in South Africa. They should think about lightening up the protocol

What I like about the Princess, is she seems very minimalist. She has access to priceless gems/jewels but she doesn't flaunt them in peoples' faces all the time!

Albert seems very happy with his choice.

This si not minimalism, this is not having common sense. I´m not talking about jewels of course, which she cannot buy by herself, but about her clothes. She does have access to the best designer and most expensive clothes (I suppose she doesn´t pay Akris but has an agreement with them) and she doesn´t loose an opportunity to show them, even when the event is more relaxed and simple, she´s overdresed. This is one of the occasions. Or when the event requires being formally dress and she shows up with a crochet dress more suitable for a bonfire near the beach.
Doesn´t she have advisors to tell her what is appropriate to wear to this kind of events? She´s totally out pf place. A CLIMATE MEETING!! And she´s showing her shoulders! Now come and call me hater, but she´s a mess.

[KittyAtlanta]

What does climate and bare shoulders have to do with one another. It is summer there. You are entitled to your opinion and Charlene is entitled to keep you riled up! This dress is not my favorite, but it's not hideous either.

[sophie25]

The climate meeting was part of an evening reception so her clothes were appropriate, indeed what one would expect.
