I read that PA and CW are hosting a "Gala" in early Sept. in Leeds, England - for something - don't even remember what - because I was too stunned to read that they are "THRILLED" to have LULU as their HEADLINER for the event! Now I like LULU - and she may be a bigger star in England than in the US - BUT still - LULU! I want to try whatever these people are smoking because it must be really, really a trip!

Should be interesting to see the idiots in England trying to host a gala. Specially because by that time of the year i'm quite sure they'll be pretty much screwed than they already are now.

I think someone is purposely and consciously toying with these two idiots to make them look even more foolish than they already do! First Joe Cocker! Now LuLu! Come on!

Does Charlene even know who Lulu is? I bet they are going to Leeds to try and rub elbows with the real royals. I bet it will be poor Sophie and Edward again. Come to think of it I was still pretty young when Lulu was a headliner.

She's still known in England - she's English - but .... lets face it - she wasn't the Beatles!

LOL his entire inlaws is squatting the net. not going online is probably the only way he has from not being with them.... lately, I'm sure he would want to stay clear of it, but I think people are crazy to think he is not interested enough to check in when his whole campaign is about pushing this girls popularity, ...like any good business person they should be covering their marketing efforts, ... and you think Fat al is one of those good business people ;D I would rather put him in the league with retards and dyslexics. Why do you think he put all his efforts into sha**ing? It's because he doesn't have anything to converse about.

What a stupid idea! They should be at home and make a gala with Lulu there! So PA is going to fly his fake crowd of people as we saw them in the Museum for their wedding exhibition. The connection thru girlfriend of Sean leads to England? ?

CM, I posted the trip info in this thread in May at this post in May, for more info, here it is again below: Albert and Charlene really are suckers for punishment; they are doing another "Let's repeat what Rainier and Grace did" event this September. They will attend the 50th anniversary ball of the Yorkshire branch of the Variety Club’s Children Charity on Sunday, September 4 in Leeds England - to mark the 40th anniversary when Rainier and Grace visited. I'm sure Charlene probably called up Akris to start designing her another grayish drab wardrobe. while Albert's hanger-ons are lining up some English crooks for Albert to schmooze with over dinner. Prince Albert of Monaco plans Leeds visit By Suzanne McTaggart Tuesday 17 May 2011
Prince Albert of Monaco will attend a ball of a charity’s Yorkshire branch - following in the footsteps of his famous parents. Suzanne McTaggart exclusively reports.
PRINCE Albert of Monaco will be the guest of honour at a glittering charity ball at Harewood House, the YEP can reveal.
The 53-year-old Prince and his fiancee Charlene Wittstock will attend the 50th anniversary ball of the Yorkshire branch of the Variety Club’s Children Charity on Sunday, September 4.
The event will be the couple’s first public engagement as husband and wife – and comes nearly 40 years after the Prince’s parents, Prince Rainier and Princess Grace, attended the charity’s ball at the Queen’s Hotel in Leeds.
During a two-day visit to West Yorkshire in 1972, the Royal couple visited Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield and enjoyed a civic reception at Leeds Civic Hall, joining famous friends including Cary Grant, Michael Caine and Sacha Distel at the Ball de Monaco on October 26.
At the time, the ball was billed in the YEP as the “most glamourous social occasion the city has ever seen” and also involved a fashion show by famous Paris couturier Balmain – the first time he had shown his designs in this country.
The event marked the first time Prince Rainier and Princess Grace, previously known as Hollywood film star Grace Kelly, had visited the UK as a married couple.
David Wilson, current chairman of the Yorkshire committee of the Variety Club, said: “We want to make this year a really special one that we can look back on with pride, safe in the knowledge that we have raised much needed money for so many special children that deserve all the help that we can give them.”
Prince Rainier and Princess Grace married in a lavish ceremony on April 19, 1956, which was watched by millions of people all over the world.
Their first child, Princess Caroline, was born in January 1957, with Prince Albert following in March 1958 and Princess Stephanie in February 1965.
The couple’s visit to Leeds in the 1970s was prompted by a letter from Mr Peter Stone, then chairman of the Leeds section of the Variety Club, who wrote to their Serene Highnesses asking them to attend the ball.
They politely refused – but Mr Stone then approached the Consul-General for Monaco in London, Mr I S Ivanovic, who persuaded the Royal couple to attend.
The couple arrived in Yorkshire on October 26, 1972, where they were met by a Rolls Royce at Doncaster station and chauffeur-driven to lunch at Nostell Priory.
From there, they went to Pinderfields Hospital, where Princess Grace gave out packets of sweets to more than 160 children.
The couple then went to a civic reception at Leeds Civic Hall, where they exchanged medallions with the Lord Mayor of Leeds, Ald Albert Smith, while Princess Grace accepted flowers from six-year-old Joanne MacLeod.
That evening, their Serene Highnesses attended the Ball de Monaco at the Queen’s Hotel, which cost £60 per couple and aimed to raise between £8,000 and £10,000 for the Variety Club in Yorkshire.
Guests enjoyed a meal of duck pate with Grand Marnier served with hot croissants; stuffed fillets of sole served with mushrooms and grapes in white wine and cream sauce; ice cream souffle with black cherries; petit fours, coffee and lots of champagne.
Princess Grace tragically died in a car crash in 1982 and Prince Rainier passed away in 2005, but Prince Albert is continuing the family’s association with Yorkshire’s Variety Club by attending the Golden Jubilee Ball.
Since the Yorkshire committee formed in 1961, it has raised millions to make a difference to the lives of sick, disabled and disadvantaged children throughout the region.
Over the years, the Variety Club in Yorkshire has funded several major appeals, including a large donation to build the children’s day hospital at St James’s in Leeds.

lately, I'm sure he would want to stay clear of it, but I think people are crazy to think he is not interested enough to check in when his whole campaign is about pushing this girls popularity, ...like any good business person they should be covering their marketing efforts, ... and you think Fat al is one of those good business people ;D I would rather put him in the league with retards and dyslexics. Why do you think he put all his efforts into sha**ing? It's because he doesn't have anything to converse about. My favorite depiction of PA is in the movie "The Social Network"... probably totally sums him up in those few seconds!

No, they are doing the PR and PG tour. They've already mingled with the BRF... It's a sad imitation of his parents to try and drum up some interest in Monaco... riding on mom and dad's coattails. He seemed so eager to make his own mark after PR died, but since it's all backfired on him, now he's backtracking and trying to copycat his parents!!

You have a point , but since the whole purpose of Charlene is to bring attention to Monaco, the people on the forums are the only people who know who she is, still! There was nowhere else for them to read what people thought of her! I don't understand how they thought the kind of people Albert preferred to listen to on gold-digger forums ever had a chance of translating into revenue, after all there years she is still nothing more than a major expense--she brings nothing......other than chuckles and the promise of a future nightmare for Monaco.

next thing he will grow a beard ....ooops , he married one ;D, Actually I think if he lost some weight kept his hair cropped very short and grew a beard (light beard) or at least some longer side burns he would look a lot younger and modern. I think when guys are balding having more hair on the lower part of their face balances it out. That's what I's do to him ;D, and modernize his wardrobe some. With Charlene who has no style of her own, he doesn't have a chance of a woman helping him out.

I think they better focus their attention on Monaco for awhile , it is hard to get the world excited about someone who is not well received in their on home! Charlene's been in Monaco for over six years! SA is not too crazy about her either?

I just read that Naomi Campbell and bf are staying in Greece. I wonder if that was one of the reasons they were staying there too. After all he is Russian business man and we know that Albert loves Russian money...
