I don't think that trashy was asked to come. If they wanted to send the message that everything is ok, they would have taken her. And if she couldn't come due to more surgery, they could have postponed it. emmeline mentioned in another thread that trashy was supposed to have been made honorary citizen of Beausoleil by now. Instead Albert turned up for the truffle thingy. IMO the citizen thing has been called off. I think that they do not want her to accept these kind of honours at present. As consolation Albert made an appearance. If trashy was to stay for some time, she would have accepted the citizenship. Rainier, Grace and Albert have received it too. It has gone quiet about the painting and the redecoration of the palace too. Actually the last thing we have seen and heard off since la rentree is the picnic. Other then that Caro has been doing her job. In fact caro has been more present then in the past years at the same time. Unless they want to raise speculation about a pregnancy, there is no reason why trashy ought to be missing in action. And even if she was pregnant she should be doing the job. Other princesses are too. IMO they are looking for an exit for trashy, trying to save face for having spent so much money on a booby prize. I don't think she will be around much longer seeing that things just don't seem to be working out for her the way she wanted. And I guess Albert, seeing the numbers and hearing her whining, is probably getting rather tired of being married. At least so much so he keeps hiding his wedding band. paca, I love your post, it is like a song for my ears and I hope your prediction will come true. You and me both Blue J. Hopefully, the flagship is sinking ;D I always said she reminded me of Ann Boleyn. Henry tossed Ann when she didn't deliver the goods (a male heir) and Albert will get rid of Trashy when she doesn't deliver hers (a better economy) I am happy to see brother and sister together more often. Perhaps Caroline is talking some sense into Fat Al's knit-wit brain...

Grandduchess, if Albert really thought that WC will change Monaco's economy for the better, then he is a real moron.

www.freemalaysiatoday.com/2011/09/20/uk-govt-monitoring-taibs-dealings/Check out this article.Here a copy of one of the comments that sums up PA's engagement with questionable people. "Mata Kuching · 1 week ago Bruno Manser Fund, the Swiss rainforest advocacy group, is calling on Monaco ruler Prince Albert II to pay back a controversial 100,000 euro donation he received last year from Malaysia’s First Lady, Rosmah Mansor, for his environmental foundation, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation. Albert was given the cheque by Rosmah in August 2010 at an “Islamic Fashion Show” in Monaco, which was sponsored by the Sarawak government. During the ceremony, Rosmah was accompanied by Sarawak Chief Minister, Abdul Taib Mahmud (“Taib”), and her husband, the Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.“The origin of the 100,000 euros is very unclear, and the fund should thus not have been accepted by Prince Albert’s foundation”, the Bruno Manser Fund stated on Thursday. “We suggest that Albert pays back the money to the Penan, Malaysia’s most marginalized people, in order to support their struggle to defend their rainforests against logging.” The Bruno Manser Fund suspects that the 100,000-euro cheque might have been funded by Taib, who maintains close ties with the Monaco ruler. Taib is the main culprit in the destructive logging of Sarawak’s tropical rainforests, one of the world’s most biodiversity-rich habitats. “Albert’s relationship with Taib raises a lot of questions”, the Bruno Manser Fund said. “Why is Albert, who is fond of his green image, associating himself with one of the world’s worst environmental criminals?” I n 2008, Albert visited Sarawak with one of Monaco’s top private bankers and London property tycoonAchilleas Kallakis. Last year, Kallakis, a former member of the Prince Albert II Foundation, was charged with £61m of fraud in one of the most serious property frauds in UK history.The Bruno Manser Fund is afraid that Monaco’s banks might be administering significant Taib corruption assets."

Oh boy more great press for Monaco! So Fast Eddie got his start in Monaco in his teens and naturally is a buddy of Albert and Sarah Ferguson. Figures. JMO.

His new guy. Let's see how long this one will last. He is from Paris. No idea if he has any connection to MC. If not, he will have a hard time. Wonder who chose him... www.monacomatin.mc/article/derniere-minute/le-colonel-xavier-prache-nouvel-aide-de-camp-dalbert-iiIn any case MC is different to Paris so that in itself might cause a problem. Most people I have met and who have moved to MC from Paris usually did not stay for long. This guy might use this as a career move. He is young for a colonel so I gather he is ambitious. He won't be staying for the next 10+ years in MC. Not with that circus.

LOL judge for yourself, there is a pic in the link. He is 43 and trained, so I guess that alone makes him more attractive then fatAl. Plus he has hair. Grey, but hair ;D

From the photo - and only from the photo - IMO he looks like he might be a bit light in the loafers. Maybe he's there for PA in more ways than one.

LOL that's what I thought. Not like Lamblin. But they don't need anyone with too much brain.

If this new colonel, Prache, is too smart he will end up like Avallena (sp).

LOL the it's Allavena, but avaller is a required quality for the job: he needs to swallow ;D Allavena was not aide de camp though. Fringeant was and so was Jayet until he became chambelain. I think Fringeant was suited for the job as with regards to loyalty etc, but he was not suited for someone like Albert. He was a perfectionist, Albert is not. Jayet was more suited to Alberts personality as he was more laid back and relaxed. He always seemed to be in good spirits when I saw him. With someone more like Rainier he might have become another Lamblin, but as it was Albert, he seemed to be looking at it with a sense of humour and just an episode on his way to somewhere else. MC has always served as a wellpaid career step, for the higher and lower ranks alike. Plus it has the reputation to offer a comparatively easy job and easy promotions.

If the Wittstocks would have it their way, they'd dig up Goebbels. But seeing that Gaddafis speaker is free now and MC likes to harbour dictators money and mix with, I think he would be a good bet. I am sure that guys German wife would fit perfectly into trashys group of sugars, seeing how she could delude herself into thinking that Gaddafi was good for his country. She would find nothing wrong with trashys dictator wife behaviour. she would happily blog about it. I think anyone hailing from those old regimes would suit MC perfectly. plus they could help in selling MC to Qatar.... ;D
