Princess Caroline's visit to the Philippines - October 2004

[susan alicia]

25 OCTOBER 2004

Princess Caroline of Monaco started a three-day private visit to the Philippines this weekend, her first to the east Asian country.

The eldest daughter of Princess Grace is continuing her mother's charitable legacy on the trip: she's meeting more than 300 street children sheltered by Amade Mondiale, a non-profit established and chaired by the late royal, during a visit to Makati in suburban Manila.

And like her mother, Caroline, who now chairs the organisation, is a hands-on humanitarian – during her fun-filled lunch with the underprivileged children, she cradled one happy two-year old in her lap, reading to her and carefully helping her drink from her cup.

Caroline also had other events on her agenda, hoping to draw attention to the problem of homeless and abused children. A meeting with President Arroyo on Monday was to be followed by a fundraising gala at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel.

The Monegasque charity Amade Mondiale, which provides homes for homeless youngsters in third world countries, collaborates with Virlane Foundation, one of the largest NGOs in the Philippines

When royals travel, do they travel on private planes?

[LadyMacAlpine]

The Grimaldis and Windsors have their own jets would assume most of the others do as well. I know that Princess Caroline would use the Concord to travel to NY.

I know from previous pictures of Caroline and the rest of the family traveling they have taken private planes, but in that last picture it seems she took Air France or something.

Some more pics......:)

Personally, I also think she's very beautiful and I like her because she has lived life on her own terms, whether it be good or bad, that requires lots of guts...and I respect her for it...

It's great to see her doing this kind of work. I' m surprised because she always seemed shallow for me.

Is there any video about the trip??
