[Lorraine]

Thank you the Divine Miss Julia for the pictures, The Monaco ladies are absolutely fabulous. I think they have all got Princess Grace's beauty. I hope you have a nice day, have fun and take care. B)

Hugs,

Lorissa

 

[Julia]

Hello Miss Lorissa!! How are you? You are so right that the Grimaldi women inherited Grace's good looks. Rainier was, in my opinion, a fairly nice looking man in his younger days and the genetic combination of Grimaldi and Kelly genes was obviously a successful one! Caroline, despite her faults, is a really striking and elegant woman. Charlotte is just like her mummy and Stephanie, if you look closely, resembles Grace quite a bit in some photos (expressions and so forth). I think of all Grace's grandchildren, to date, Alexandra may end up looking the most like her grandmum. I guess we will have to wait for Albie to get married to see what his kiddos look like! Gene hogs they are!!!

[Jacqueline]

Thank you for the pictures Julia! It is absolutely unbelievable at times how much Charlotte resemles her great grandmother and her mother. :x :x :x

BTW, what is with the cheekbones in this family? Is that family trait ever going to miss a beat? .....those lucky Grimaldis.

Hi everyone! Here is a link to fantastic picture of Charlotte!

Great link, Jacqueline!! Thank you and how are you? Charlotte really does look like her namesake! And, yes, I think those disgustingly marvelous cheekbones run in the family!!


Julia

Mademoiselle Charlotte is tres popular, Jacqueline!! Seems that teen-age girls all over the world want to dress like her, look like her and still be friends with her! There go those Grimaldi gals again! Another generation inspiring stylish trends! Thanks for the links, Jacqueline!


Julia

Well, there's no news on Albie at the moment. Hopefully, he will be back in the news soon, so I am going to post pics of Grace Caroline, Albert and even Stephanie!

I know, not good enough, but what's a girl to do when Albert has gone awol??!!!

[michelle]

Here I'll show you some cute pix of the new generation....and their loved ones.....

...and I link it with a question.....:

Who looks like who......?

..just tell me your thoughts...


love, Michelle



...the start makes Pierre...the funny - crazy guy...

 

[Julia]

Hey Michelle! I think Pierre looks a lot like his daddy. I know that everyone says that Andrea is the spitting image of Stefano, but I think Pierre looks a great deal like him as well. Andrea is more of a hunk, but Pierre is just as much of a cutie.

Julia

 

[michelle]

...a childrens smile means more than a thousand words...Steph's first -born Louis.....in my opinion a little albert...and his beautiful sister Pauline...

...andy- boy.....starrin at the ground with auntie stephanie's expression in his eyes...

 

[Julia]

Little Louis does look like his uncle Albie.

 

[michelle]

...yap...you're right...defenitly a little Stefano in him....

 

[Julia]

Andrea is, to me, a mix of Grimaldi and Casiraghi. He has the Grimaldi eyes and the Casiraghi/Kelly bone structure. He's a looker!

 

[michelle]

...absolutly a little steph....Camille...the pacifier-junky.....

....how sweet she is.....

 

[Julia]

Camille is a little pumpkin! I think she and her cousin Alexandra will look most like Grace as they get older.

 

[michelle]

...a little charlotte in steph.....and a little pauline and camille....

 

[Julia]

Pic of Andrea that I forgot to add

Can't you kind of see the Kelly bone structure???

 

[Julia]

I can't remember who said it, but a journalist was saying that Charlotte looked a fair amount like Stephanie, too. I agree that Charlotte looks like her mummy and her aunt. Pauline and Camille are going to be very pretty, as well!

 

[michelle]

Sweety - Pauline..a bit steph...a bit caro....but a bit moree steph..lol...and a great deal of daniel in her...

 

[Julia]

She's a cutie and looks like she has a good disposition as well! It will be really interesting to see how this generation of Grimaldis turns out! Thanks for all of the pics and it's great to have you here, Michelle!!

 

[michelle]

...you're right about andrea....he has grace's nose....

...in this one caro looks like her daughter....and steph like her's....and a bit of charlotte I can see in her eyes...lol

here you go I'm happy to be here as well......
...but look at this one.....the full amount of steph's look in camille's eyes...I know steph....she looks the same...

...I swear...lol

...the look in their eyes is just the same...

 

[Julia]

Aren't they darling! Camille does look like her mummy. Thanks for the really sweet pics!!

Julia
