Charlotte is in Venice, pics from Isopix, thanks to Alicia753 from TFS.
The first shot is not very elegant, she sould have put her hand on her mouth!
EDIT: complete gallery here, with A LOT of pictures!
In fact she's not yawning, she's just looking at the sky, with opened mouth.
I like Alex now than before. He seems like a very discrete boyfriend who doesn't aim to be known as Charlotte's chaperon in social events. He stays away from the lime light but so far no making faces at the paparazzi. He has his own world but supports her enough to be there for her in competitions. No nasty rumours about him, no photos of him with other girls...so hope they last. 
Alex is not at all popular and these past few posts are uncharacteristically kind. Personally, I don't feel one way or the other about him. I mean there is really not enough to know. If we are going by pictures then Charlotte herself can be deemed insolent qith all the snobbish faces she makes. Apparently alot of people get "bad vibes" from him though. I don't know. We'll have to see. Quick question though: if Charlotte goes to the Olympics do they have all that amateur level stuuff? Forgive me if this is stupid I dont know much about equestrian sport. I guess I'm asking if she will just be competing against other countries at a set advanced level?
Stephane Bern is right now on the TV show "le Grand Journal" (the show which made Caroline said "je déclare ouvert le petit journal de Cannes") and Ali Baddou asks him if Charlène has a sister like Pippa then he answers no but there is a girl that he interviewed that week for Madame Figaro: Charlotte. and he is really sweet toward her. He said that she is execptional, beautiful and intelligent.
Long post alert! And likely off topic.
I didn't like Alex at first but as the member above me says, he and Charlotte kind of share similar expressions sometimes. Early photos of him make people react negatively towards him. But lately I've seen that he and Charlotte have similar...i don't know how i should put it but perhaps 'aura' or 'vibe' would be the closest words i can think of.
People sometimes complain about the Casiraghis acting like private citizens and not as representatives of the Principality and I'm not surprised by the sort of reaction people also sometimes have for the boyfriend and girlfriends of the trio. The Casiraghis have always been in that strange position of pseudo-royals-- semi-private citizens from whom people expect too much because of their privileged upbringing, good looks and fascinating bloodline. Add to that the fact that they could well inherit Monaco someday since the heir is childless (yet) and it makes for an uncomfortable position of 'are we it or are we not it?' Meanwhile the Casiraghis have chosen people from their own very close-knit circle of intensely rich, intensely private friends and now these kids are also in the lime light. I simply don't think the bf and gfs, especially in the beginning, automatically know how to deal with public attention. At any given day, some of us probably look indolent without knowing it, or lick our fingers while eating in public (I'm talking about boys, lol) but luckily we don't have cameras waiting to shoot and capture such moments and people reading all sorts of things into your gestures and facial expressions.
At any rate, I like Beatrice most which I think is because she translates so well in photos, Alex next then Tatiana. But Alex is the one I'd like to have a conversation with, among the three. His interviews are cool, his interests are accessible but intellectual enough and I like what he's done with 20 Hoxton Square. In a way, I get what Charlotte sees in the guy. So can she do better? Probably. But she can do worse too.
I really like your post Moby! I agree with what you said.Long post alert! And likely off topic.
