The pictures of Charlene and the children and elderly are very endearing.
She looked very elegant.
So they were in the hospital yesterday. Do you suppose they visited Charlotte and her newborn son?

It's a kilt. Could be the Kelly tartan, but maybe not. Any tartan experts out there? And, yes, she looks stupendous.

It's not the Kelly tartan. These are the Kelly tartans:
She is wearing a good looking tartan though.

Heritage of Scotland lists 3 tartans for the Kellys; http://www.heritageofscotland.com/ta...ch=Kelly&clan=
I'm not sure if the one that Charlene is wearing is the same as the red one listed though - Charlene's looks darker to me.

Those are Scottish clans. Grace was Irish. I think she wore Kelly green. Remember when she went to Ireland and to see President Kennedy in Washington? She wore a specially made dress out of Kelly green.
Maybe Charlene is part Scottish. The Grimaldis were part Scottish also. I think the last name was Hamilton (which sounds English).

Prince Albert and princess Charlene visited the children of the home Princess Charlene, we will not see children because the law does not want photos of children who are orphans or without parents. Also there is only this photo. The couple offered a gift to each child and Charlene offered a numeric piano to the home with her foundation.(Monaco Matin)

This blog The Royal Couturier: Worn in Week: Wrapping up the Year with Charlene! says it's princess Charlene's family's tartan.

Yes, she does looks stressed and uptight, but at least she made an effort to speak the language of her subjects.

Poor thing. She looked very nervous as she waited for Albert to finish. But I loved Albert's encouraging smile as he turned to her.

I don't think I would consider the Princess as a 'poor thing' but rather extremely focussed as she read the teleprompter along with her husband! However, I also loved the satisfied smile and nod of Monseigneur as his Princess finished reading her lines in a very nice accent indeed!  Bravo!

An article about the visit of the couple at Mvezo
Monaco royals bring hope to Mvezo - Cape Argus | IOL.co.za
There are no photos. I think that Prince Albert ans princess Charlene will attend the start of Pierre and his team for the race Cape town Rio.
