 Ok, my English is certified only as "upper intermediate"... I did not say, she "probably" has a reason, but "she might have a reason". What I meant: We don't know, why she is so often not present, as I wrote:
"We do not know, why the Princess keeps a low profile - she might have a reason"...
And and least in my opinion "might have" is not as "strong" as "probably has".
The first is more like "well.... you know, perhaps". the second one is more like "I am almost sure....". I used the first phrase.

Yes, I don't know why we haven't seen her out and about. I can only assume she is trying to protect the twins in some way. Still, I think her Foundation is doing some great work during these strange times.

Gareth Wittstock seems to appear more on behalf of the Foundation that his sister.

That's what I thought too, bearing in mind that he also has young children. It's a mystery.

I started a thread for it 1 or 2 years ago, but the mods merged it with this current events thread, reason: there was too little news for either (Charlene or the foundation) to warrant a separate thread (not kidding).
Maybe when Gareth Wittstock continues to promote the foundation more and more, a separate thread could be useful, but at the moment I don't think there would be much content left for Charlene thread, especially because when P.Albert and P.Charlene participate in something together, there is already a separate thread for that...

This is a wonderful initiative of the Princess. It involves a number of celebrities and many charities, and thus many individuals will benefit.
In a country where unemployment was already at 30% even before the pandemic struck and with the economy now almost destroyed, the need is huge. It is heartbreaking to see people queue for miles just to get a food parcel.
The challenge has been extended by another week. And yes, I agree, the PCMF should have its own thread.

Such a wonderful idea from Charlene!

Yes, I like how the Foundation acts as an umbrella organisation to support lots of grassroots and local charities and NGOs - it's a good way to have a far-reaching effect.

Please Note that at this present time the Monaco Forum Moderating Team do not feel that a separate thread is necessary for the Princess Charlene Foundation.So long as the amount of public duties performed by the Princess are few and far between we will continue use the Current Events Thread.
Post Regarding a separate thread have been removed and please consult a Moderator if you have a request

Great article emphasizing the wonderful work being done by P Charlene and her Foundation.
And Bryan Habana, a legend among rugby lovers (he also played in Toulon in France), and a wonderful role model for the youngsters to look up to. He is much loved and respected by all, good to see him getting involved with P Charlene’s work.
