....she will be an asset to the Principality of Monaco....
Reeaally? How? She has had 18+ months to show her assets? I think that is plenty of time to show us she is a woman of substance and a woman worth having a reason to be photographed?
Except for liking to see her own image turned into celebrity
"...shes finally getting pictures of herself without paparazzi jumping out of bushes..." or her silly statements regarding her Olympic aspirations? Which to me has always been dishonest and a slight shown by her, towards her SA teammates? We are meant to believe the odd amature photo shoots are because of her achievements as a 5th place Olympic swimmer in the the year 2000 in a relay? If that was the case, one would have to believe she swam that relay by herself? Where are the other swimmers who won the 5th place position in that relay?
If she was a smart woman an in the position to be a serious contender for the position she is after, instead of trying to create an image by association only, with Prince Albert - Her time might have been better spent actually doing something useful in trying to cultivate an image by her own merit, (however ingenuine it might have come off?). What chance hasn't she been given?
Above all, she is young enough to give Prince Albert an heir to his throne.
Wow! This is the only qualification needed!
Every woman knows how to lay down?
I guess my above statement is all for nothing? This seems the easiest position to qualify for, if only one was was willing???
Nevermind, that Albert would have to wait for 20+ years to even start training an heir, when he will be 70+ years old. I think since there are already heir apparent's in line, this should be the last consideration for a wife for him. He needs to find a smart women who can help steer him in the right direction, not one he's going to have to babysit! He needs a woman that can help him in presenting a good reputation for him & Monaco.
Also Sebastian, It was Albert who said "...every time he is seen or seated next to a
pretty young girl, there are marraige rumors" he knows all too well what a distraction to any cause or event a women he shows up with is going to be, and so you're right,
he wanted her there! Your criticism belongs with Albert, as most have figured out by now.
Have you seen the "Hello" article? You would think it was Charlene's event the way it is worded. Stephanie & the cause, is completely ignored. Caroline threw her a bone & extended an invitation to Charlene to the Amade event, and we haven't seen her near Charlene since? I think this time Stephanie tried, Albert & Charlene seem to not care about promoting a cause that is anything other than their own self promotion? Albert should be smart enough to know better?
Also, as I have mentioned before I don't understand how any woman would want to put herself in that awkward position she puts herself in. I thought that last year at the Red Cross Ball her entrance with the family made her look ridiculous. I cannot figure out why either of them would put her in that position. Both should want to bring as little attention as possible to their private relationship, not flaunt it! Especially with his history. I guess that statement might be incorrect, the same saga & image continues with Charlene today(imo). Even his own friends have made comments about his preferences? We are long past giving Charlene a chance, and I don't know how much longer we can hold out for Prince Albert???
Sorry Moderators, I just noticed the title of the thread (we switch around so much) I was just responding to the above post, please move both posts to the appropriate thread if you wish, as that is probably where they belong? My apologies!
