Princely Family of Monaco: Current Events Part 9: May 2018 - December 2019

[sophie25]

Not even P. Caroline or P. Stephanie… Just a sad(?) lonely prince…

Yeah, something seems really off. It's Christmas and he has a wife and two lovely young children and he turns up to the biggest childrens event of the year in Monaco with his adult nephew? Really?

 

[An Ard Ri]

The absence of Princess Charlene is not really unexpected anymore ,but was hoping to see one of his more reliable sisters at least.

 

[Empress Merel]

Honestly, Charlene continues to be a lackluster Princess of Monaco. It's getting ridiculous.

 

[Florestane]

Well, I (and I rarely expect much of Charlene) am surprised she isn't there. And I really hope there's a good reason because it's not an onerous engagement. Maybe she's ill - she didn't attend the Christmas Ball as far as I know and I thought she was supposed to.

As to Caroline and Stephanie - would have been great - but seems to me they're damned if they do, damned if they don't. If they turn up they're trying to steal Charlene's limelight, showing off etc. If they don't turn up and neither does Charlene then there is always someone saying they don't do anything, and if they don't then why should Charlene? (Conveniently forgetting the whole Princess Consort thing).

I guess that must be the reason - that she and the twins are ill. But the Palace should communicate directly..

Indeed a different Christmas party from the ones we are used to. All the pics were taken indoors, so I assume they had bad weather. No Princess or twins, surely they would have attended if they could, can only assume they are ill as suggested above.

A disappointment this year. I agree that we need better communication from the Palace PR team.

This must have been so disappointing for the children who no doubt were looking forward to a visit from the Princess. If Charlene was poorly, surely Caroline or Stephanie could have stepped in. A very poor show.

Maybe they already had plans? I don't see why they should anyway - they already help out at appearances where one might expect to see Charlene.

Or maybe this was always the planned appearance...

But I agree that this was a disappointing event although I'm sure the children had a great time anyway.

Dear Florestane, you summarize very well the situation. Charlene is becoming a ghost. She is not able and never will be to jump in Princess Grace and Princess Caroline shoes, I've already got it. I'm really disappointed for Prince Albert.

Albert, Stephanie and Camille watched the Ligue 1 match between Monaco and Guingamp at Stade Louis II yesterday, December 22.

Monaco lost 0:2 - Albert's face speaks volumes..

Does Princess Stephanie normally attend this Mass with Princess Albert or was she standing in for her ever absent sister in law?

Probably both.

Prince Albert and Princess Stephanie inaugurated the suite "Rainier III" at the Hotel de Paris in Monaco today, January 29.

600 m² and a terrace of 135m² - nothing for the average tourist coming to Monaco , but it looks great:

Lovely to see Stephanie with her brother at this event. It must have been quite a moving occasion seeing this tribute to her father. It would have been lovely if all Rainier’s siblings could have been there, but I am sure Caroline would have attended if she was available.

Especially this photo of Princess Stephanie looking at her fathers portrait.

Nice to see Pierre Casiraghi with his uncle,the Medieval tournament looked interesting.

 

[victor1319]

Add in a monk's robe and this medieval tournament mus look like the first appearance of the Grimaldis in Monaco - more than 700 years ago.

Agree, great to see that he and several others of the Grimaldi family members support their uncle/brother and take an interest in Monaco

It was during the inauguration of the 'promenade Princess Charlene'

Lovely to see the family out together in Monaco. Also Grandpa Mike and Pierre. I just love it when P Gabriella gets her own bouquet, and P Jacques seems completely ok with it to be “overlooked.”

 

[HereditaryPrincess]

Great to see everyone there as well as Mike. The twins look very cool in their sunglasses!
