Lillia said:You know? She becomes PA 'companion' and starts going around with him, she meets different IOC members, she swims a few times in some basic non-competitive events, qualifies by the skin of her teeth and then goes to Beijing representing MC as an 'athelete'. Then she and her press agents try to fall back on the story of how her injuries plagued her the whole time...
yeah right. we will have to see the new line unfold...

First, I don't think she'll ever represent Monaco at any international event. The nepotism scandal would hurt the entire team and everything Albert wanted to achieve.
I also believe that her competitive swimming days are behind her if she is choosing Master's competitions rather than those that will actually gauge her eligibility for Olympic level competition. But if this is the case, why wait until 2008 (another whole year) to retire, get engaged, and get married? Perhaps You is just expanding the timeline a bit so they aren't going that far out on a a limb????? This gives them some time to see if this is an ongoing relationship or to see if Charlene just disappears.
RE: Mme Gallico's tutelage and Stephanie's fears of being "replaced" by Charlene. If the magazine used former, and she is still in service to Caroline, there is a red flag right there. Someone is making this up as they go along; there may be a stylist advising Charlene, but it's certainly not someone of Mme Gallico's high position. Perhaps one of her assistants???? Also, if Charlene is being schooled in royal protocol re: how to dress for events, she managed to slip out the back door to go to the fashion show before Mme Gallico made her change. While the other outfits we have seen recently aren't exactly my taste, she didn't look bad but Charlene has a long way to go before entering the same league as Mary or Letizia.
If anyone should be worried about being "replaced," I would think that it would be Caroline. Should Charlene become the Princess of Monaco, many of Caroline's charitable roles would become Charlene's by default: The Rose Ball, AMADE, Pss Grace Foundation, Red Cross. Caroline would probably serve in some capacity but Charlene would be at the top. Even if Charlene chose to focus on the sports related charities and let Caroline be, what a power struggle and PR nightmare that would be. It would be as if there were two First Ladies...and that would put Albert in an awkward situation and I think confuse and polarize the Monegasques. JMO.
