I actually feel sorry for CW now.... I know she’s a bit of an empty head in the brains department, but I wish she would have some dignity or self esteem. Can the allure of the public attention and celebrity be that strong?....
Yes --- especially when someone is starry eyed, has no other significant prospects (especially of the royal kind) and has a dream of being a 'princess' or of marrying into a royal family and never having to worry for material things again. People are greedy.

In all honesty, a young girl with no education or future plans would probably not mind being taken on luxury vacations on yachts to the Maldives and wined and dined in Paris and Monaco. I'm sure it has been very exciting for her, so whether or not she was "in on it" I'm sure she got a lot out of it. I am also inclined to think that the CW affair was a way to keep the world fixated on their "relationship" while the paternity issue of JGG was being decided as well as how to break the news to the press.
I agree totally. CW needs prospects and she is an adult, after all. I suspect she will not go 'empty handed', although she may not end up getting the big prize. But only time will tell.
CW is there willingly; of her own free will. Albert is certainly not forcing her to do anything, she is being intimate with PA because that is what
she wants to do. He is not forcing anything onto her. Of course, I suspect she (and her family) hopes to land a husband like him -- just like NC hoped. IMO, CW is not unlike any of the other 'companions' he has had in the past (possibly).
She is going around with Albert because it is her own free choice to do so, and it seems to be coming clear (at least to me) she wants to stay and become the princess of MC.
Well, we will all have to wait to see how long she can hang on to him and if she really can handle his propensity for 'non-commitment'. She may not be cling-y, according to her father, but she
is almost 30 years old. She seems to be laying aside her swimming goals --
again of her own free will. What happened to her going to compete? Is she so caught up in his world by now that she cannot see anything else? If so, Albert is not making her do that. I could imagine it would be easy not to want to go back to being regular CW, having to deal with regular people struggles and issues, especially after hanging around with Albert and him taking her these places. But if she is setting aside what she said she would be doing, she would be doing it because she wants to, no other reason.
She's making those choices.
How long will she wait around for Albert to commit to her? She is doing all those things because she wants to do it. She chooses to be there accompanying PA and everything else. PA is not making her to do anything. If she did not want to, she knows how to open her mouth and say no. She wants to go to the parties and the events and sit in the royal box and talk to the press and meet Albert's friends and acquaintences and everything else. And if her family comes across as trying to intervene
(begging, imo) on her behalf with Albert on the commitment issue, what does that tell you?
I'm sure if PA were not a prince or really rich, CW father would not be saying how lucky she is and he probably advise her to send the guy packing. If Albert were just a regular fellow, his age and his past would probably matter a whole lot to those Wittstocks.
