I don't remember where we posted about the MC brand that has been registered. I found an article that explains what they intend by registering MC as a brand http://www.monacohebdo.mc/9257-une-societe-pour-la-marque-monaco

Why not just have set up the lazy Wittstocks with a party supplies company like the Middletons? It's the same rip-off.

Because then they would have to (pretent to) work. That is below the standards of the inlaws of a royal in their eyes I think. Besides, why work if your son-in-law is paying your bills? I don't think they want to go back to SA. Working permits are harder to get than holiday visums. Which brings up the whole visum issue again. Wonder how any of the Wittstocks, including barbie, ever got a visum without means of support and for such a long time. They are non-EU citizens after all. Maybe a MC living permit gives you also permission to live anywhere in the EU? It doesn't work the other way around in any case. ???

Albert was in Monaco on both of his wedding anniversary days - and we know his wife wasn't there. I always find Albert posing with these electric cars rather funny considering that this is a man who jumps in his jet to fly all over the world for just one day to attend a football match. From Monaco Matin:

If they did, it was a bit of a hush job. I haven't seen it mentioned under the "naturalisation monégasque" section. And they should have handed in their SA nationality. barbie for one seems to be more attached to that one than to her MC one...

Then again, during all the publicity around Ernst not being able to keep his hands to himself somewhere in Africa, it was also speculated that he was travelling on a diplomatic MC passport. Who knows?

Interesting topic, but alas another one we will never hear the truth of. Why are all those journalists so terribly uninvestigative when it comes to things like this?


On a totally different topic: more background about the Grimaldis and Matignon. The local paper is having a field day:

I've read in another forum that vanitatis said that Albert declared his love for Charlene in facebook? Does anyone know anything about it?
It says he did it on his official facebook account. Does he have one or this is just another false stupid news?

Emmeline, contrary to what the sycophantic press and sugah loonies believe Albert has NEVER publicly declared his love for Charlene. He has been given many opportunities to and he has used every comfortable shoe type word to describe their relationship - but love. Even after the wedding he still hasn't used the word love - recall the Matt Lauer interview). He however wants everyone to know that despite their miserable looks, they really are happy - which is in a statement that was posted on the palace Facebook account accompanying their 1st year anniversary photo.

See this post for the statement in the 1st Wedding Anniversary of Dumbo & Bimbo thread.

Much speculation in this 'blind item" about whether Albert is "the Pendulum Prince"

http://blindgossip.com/?p=45396


[The Morton Report] Who Is This “Pendulum Prince”?  The Royal Husband was already a man of a certain reputation when his naïve bride married him. She wanted to believe the romantic best about a man she adored, and so ignored the society rumours that swirled in more than one country. Although he is still attractive to ladies, some in high places whisper that he is gay, which is unlikely to be 100% true, and he is certainly the father of all his children. Others are convinced that he is a ‘pendulum prince’ — i.e. one who swings both ways, a label attached to more than one royal man.

It wouldn’t matter too much if the Royal Wife had known and accepted his inclinations at the time of their marriage, but apparently she didn’t and the truth came as a great shock. In dynastic style, she put the family line first and buried herself in work.

While the Royal Wife was busy, busy, busy with cutting ribbons and pastimes of her own, the Royal Husband found plenty of me time, down time, and private time with some close friends, prudently away from the attentions of paparazzi. There were a number of crises, but the Royal Wife insisted putting on a public front.

When it came to the children, the Royal Husband was overly strict. The Royal Wife looked the other way, just as she did over his other activities. The result was that the children were emotionally damaged by such harsh discipline. One had rebellious episodes, and although is technically ‘settled’, some fear that situation might not hold forever. Another has had relationship difficulties that have attracted speculative gossip. At the moment, the Royal Wife lets the Royal Husband pretty much do exactly as he likes.

This is not the British Royal Family, although Queen Elizabeth knows all about the Royal Husband; all royal families know each other and most know each other’s secrets. The late Princess Diana also knew about this Royal Husband, but not through marrying Charles and joining the House of Windsor. And that is actually the biggest clue of all.

Royal Husband: ?

Royal Wife: ?

This has to be one of an older generation, certainly not Albert. Who is known to be a strict father? Carl Gustav is clearly all females, but there have been rumours about Albert of Belgium. He is has out of wedlock kids, Paola had affairs and there were rumours about links to the Dutroux circle.... It was also a surprise to everyone that he actually took the throne. Everyone expected him to step aside...

Come on, some of us haben vergessen Deutsche many moons ago:

The Thyssen Asset Management has lost some 350 million euros with Madoff. 34 million euros came from 350 European investors who are resident of Monaco, the reclaim that amount now. They have participated over the company Thyssen-Bornemisza (Thybo) Advisory Société Anonyme Monégasque where Thybo International fund, which sits in the British Virgin Islands officially. Chief of Thybo-fund structure is Baron Thyssen-Bornemisza. The Thybo International fund should invest the money in hedge funds, but mostly it flowed to Madoff.
The lawyers of Brussels Investors Association Deminor accuse Thybo and Baron Thyssen-Bornemisza, that were neglected in the Fund controls and the company in Monaco had no license to sell mutual funds. The Baron and Thybo would not comment on the allegations.
It is shown that were not observed in the functioning of the investors' interests, threatening the Principality of up to five years in prison, the office of Thybo in Monaco were on the complaint, the Deminor had submitted to the investigating judge, but searched by the police, but for a year, the investigation appeared to falter.
A letter from Deminor of Monaco Prince Albert II Head of State to the slow pace remained unanswered. "Albert, it has indeed done that Monaco will be removed from the blacklist of tax havens by the OECD, but probably too spicy you want but do not act against the financial scene," prosecutor Erik Bomans suspected of Deminor.

(I hate Google translate, I still can't make out what they said.)

Hi agentf - sorry - I really had no time to translate yesterday but will try to do my best now ;)

The asset management of Thyssen lost about 350 mio. Euro due to Madoff. 34 million euros came from 350 European investors who are residents of Monaco and they reclaim that amount now. They participated via the company Thyssen-Bornemisza (Thybo) Advisory Société Anonyme Monégasque where Thybo International own holdings. The fond is officially located at the British Virgin Islands. Director of Thybo-fund structure is Baron Thyssen-Bornemisza. The Thybo International fond should invest the money in hedge fonds, but most of it went to Madoff.

The lawyers of the Brussel-based Investors Union Deminor accuse Thybo and Baron Thyssen-Bornemisza of not having controled the fond tightly enough and that the company in Monaco hasn't had a license to sell fonds. The Baron and Thybo would not comment on the allegations.

In case it will be proven that the investors' interests were disregarded in the Principality the found guilty persons might end up in prison for up to five years. After Diminor filed a lawsuit the offices of Thybo in Monaco were searched by the police on advice of the investigating judge - but the investigation seem to stagnate since almost one year.

A letter from Deminor adressed to Monaco Prince Albert II Head of State that informed him about the stagnating investigations remained unanswered. "Albert has indeed managed that Monaco was removed from the blacklist of tax havens of the OECD, but obviously there is no wish to act really resolutely against the financial scene ," says Erik Bomanslawyer, the lawyer of Deminor.

Touché! I bet Eringer will like that little punchline at the end, that Albert is not really interested in cleaning up.

Thanks Margarita!

I read this and didn't post it because if you actually believe the comments as written in the report than it is IMPOSSIBLE that it is Albert. Morton Report specifically states that the couple have children and their strict upbringing caused problems for them.
When it came to the children, the Royal Husband was overly strict. The Royal Wife looked the other way, just as she did over his other activities. The result was that the children were emotionally damaged by such harsh discipline.

At the moment, the Royal Wife lets the Royal Husband pretty much do exactly as he likes.

How written, I am pretty sure that they are referring to Prince Henrik of Denmark. Both sons, Joachim and Frederick complained of their emotional scars of their father's strict upbringing, including beatings, and many believed that Joachim's divorce was due to his own swinging both ways behavior. Besides, Queen Elizabeth would care about Daisy and not give a flying fig about Dumbo Albert.

We did not hear IOC committee member and environmentalist fake Grimaldi the Duckbert or even his horse-riding niece protesting this decision.

Cloned Horses Can Now Compete in the Olympics

Reversing an earlier ban, the international governing body for equestrian sports has decided that cloned horses can compete alongside their traditionally bred counterparts.

"The FEI will not forbid participation of clones or their progenies in FEI competitions," the Federation Equestre Internationale said after its June meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, according to The Chronicle of the Horse. "The FEI will continue to monitor further research, especially with regard to equine welfare.”

http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/....mp etition.html

Maybe Duckbert the Grimaldi will want to have himself cloned so he can be his own successor to the throne in Monaco.
