Next Star said:Nice photos of Caroline and the rest of the family. I was wondering does anyone have any pictures of the 2006 Rose Ball? Thanks in advance!
It´s not for royals and i don´t think they are invited, it´s a benefit party, anyone who pays the 1500 euros may attend.Henri M. said:The number of royals can be counted on one-and-a-half hand and there even are no diademes, sashes, white-ties or whatsover to be seen. Instead you see 'ladies' with sunglasses indoors. Men in white tuxedos. 'Business partners' at the main table. It could not be more a place to avoid. And that is exactly what all the other Royal Houses do..... Avoid this wrong, wrong Ball.

Who cares where the money comes from? The banks in Monaco are full of money of an uncertain origin, bit what can they do? Any way i expect these parties anxiously every year to see my favourite princess. BTW, the Ball de la Rose collects money for the P. Grace Foundation, for the Croix Rouge there´s another ball.Henri M. said:Indeed. Too bad the Croix-Rouge Monegasque has no any problem with accepting money with a clearly dubious background from people they should not want to be associated with.... And too bad that the princely family keeps itself not far away from them.
I read many times the themes was chosen by P. Caroline, don´t know if every year. I think she´s advised by the decorators.Lakshmi said:. I woner who is responsible for choosing it every year. Wasn't it Grace choosing "themes" in the past?

I always thought of it as a slight to PAntoinette's daughter who always escorted her mother never recieved a bouquet of flowers- I understand that she is not a princess of the realm- but c'mon its not like Monaco has a aristocracy. Flowers should be given to all female members of the family @ official functionsRose Ball 1998 Part IV

Is it just me, PGrace had something special- even though she born american- she had royal persona about her-Like her parents knew it at birth to name her Grace---------I think Grace the name came from her father's sister or something like that.Rose Ball 1981
