Oh, they had a tribute to Rainier? Stephanie and Albert must have been touched. That's a great picture of their Dad.

paca said:Yes it was a pretty uninteresting show. One would imagine that Albert did all those journeys last year only to please Michel. And oh are they all a happy family. Waste of time. Luckily I had other things to do on the side. Apart from a bit of photo footage that I didn't know (private super 8 from Roc Agel), nothing new or interesting. Stephane Bern was there to prepromote his book, Karl Lagerfeld to prepromote a fashion show he is going to have in Larvotto (?) next year, the othr were promoting their new albums, Albert was promoting the Grace exhibition and Steph her fight aids. And Michel Drucker was promoting himself as a friend of the stars and the princely family. They claimed that Caro couldn't be there, but no valid reason was given and it seemed as if she simply didn't want to ( Albert appeared slightly irritated with her). On the other hand maybe there was sth after the GP snubbing from Caros family of Charlene that caused her to decide to not come, but she was originally expected. BTW they were lucky to have it pretaped, as todays weather was pretty yucky. If you come to Monaco pack your rain gear, because that's what we are going to have till next week. Not good for the opening ceremony on monday...
I don't know if anyone noticed in the beginning. Albert was speaking, made a slight pause and Michel started talking as Albert continued unimpressed finishing what he had to say. It sounded as if he had memorized the text and wanted to finish his line. He didn't stammer as usual, so he prepared himself well. Steph though IMO did much better in the show. She basically in whatever she said showed that she was like every other person only more exposed by the media. To me she came off as the most natural of all present and also the most comfortable.

I don't think that Caro had a problem with a show like that. And she was obviously involved to some degree. Her friends Jean Christophe Maillot ad Karl Lagerfeld were there. Questions asked were clearly designed for Caro to answer, instead others answered. Albert seemed irritated whenever she was being mentioned and even drucker seemed to be disappointed about her absence. Not sure it was a smart move on her part, but she certainly made her point. If she would have been there, there surely would have been sth about her trip to Africa and to the Philippines. They didn't say that she was ill, but instead they gave no explanation and thus room for speculation. It was obvious that it had nothing to do whatsoever with Steph (the last times they appeared together they seemed to get along splendidly). My bet is that there was a little quarrel after the GP for ignoring Charlene and Caro decided on short notice not to come or was told not to come. Either way it wasn't a wise decision. Monacos image and economy is so strongly related to the Grimaldi's and how they are seen by the public, that until they have found a way of disentangling the two, little things like this will be noticed and giving fuel to the various political camps and interest groups. Incidents like that should be avoided or explained with a credible reason IMO. It doesn't make it easier to govern Monaco. Let's see how they are represented and interacting with each other during the games and the presence of several official visitors. Not sure but maybe there will be some videa footage of the opening ceremony on TMC info on the net. Don't know whether any live video is proposed on any of the official Monaco sights. The ceremony will be starting around 21.00h tomorrow.hibou said:You know in the end Steph's kids may be the ones to turn out with their heads on straight and their feet on the ground. The show sounded like one big infomercial. Albert is never comfortable in front of the camera. I got the impression at the GP that Caroline was done with all the Charlene nonsense and dispite the friendly smiley photos with Albert, she was at the GP to do her job and that was it. I think she must have realized what the TV show was about and decided not to get sucked into it. It sounds like a smart move on her part. Good for Steph that she was able to do such a good job.

brother said:i think that's normal during a dinner, to change seats and talk to various people, but I've seen all the pics from the same event and she was giving ernst 'five' and laughing with him at the table. Clearly besides ernst -her 'dame de compaie', nobody elese bothered to give her the attention at the grand prix dinner. Apparetly steph took her to the ladies room. don't understand why the family needs to give her attention, she's albert's (girl)friend not theirs.
