^Yeah! She probably doesn't want to be pointed as the bad guy of the movie. She had enough with Ira Von Furstenberg, i guess...if that was true. Anyway, everybody believes she is the bitch because Rainier wanted to marry Ira and she didn't. Same happens with Al. So, all we can expect is that he sinks alone, realizes what he is been doing, dump Charlene, and do something with his country!

Thanks Margarita for the article. Die Aktuelle was the magazine that reported about Charlene's monthly fees from Albert and her expense accounts at local Monaco stores - they even quoted some shop owners. Thanks Paca for more from the rumor mill - I love it! It's great if the media is reading us - we provide a lot of good info - not sugar coated. It's great that the media is tarting to print the truth. Albert has really lost his mind if he thinks that TV stations will broadcast his trashy wedding live for hours. Monaco will have 5 hours of live feed - broadcasting every single event during the wedding day. Here's a little tidbit that was in an earlier April article in the Chicago Sun Times: April 3, 2011 Sunday By MICHAEL SNEED. sneed@suntimes.com ... Royal blat . . .
How times change: While headlines about England's royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton are growing like mushrooms after rain, the impending nuptials in Monaco of actress Grace Kelly's son, PrinceAlbert, and South African Charlene Wittstock seem to be garnering nothing but a yawn in comparison.

^ That's what I mean, refia. I'm wondering if Caroline decided to just let this play out and let Albert totally sink himself. Otherwise, she would be the bad guy who stopped the lovebirds. Yes, but, at some point, she needs to intervene to save the Grimaldis... no? She needs to time it right.

If she can't, it will give Caroline's kids more time to grow up before taking over. Just taking a wild guess on this one.

Good probability but Monaco might just be a republic but the time it is evident CW cannot conceive. Things are deteriorating fast! Wouldn't you love it, if, when the priest asks "Is there anyone who opposes this marriage, all of the guests get up and say "I do"? LOL

Hahha, that would be fun. Or better, when the priest says that, a battalion of women carrying babies appear and yell altogether: "I do!". Or even better, all that battalion, with Nicole as the leader, and some other gay guys with high pitched voice yell "Hell, we do!"

I had a visual of all these people stampeding on the Palace Courtyard saying they oppose the marriage!

I love it - another article speaking the truth about this lackluster wedding, couple and know-nothing do-nothing Trashlene. This author says the only thing that is known about Charlene is that she's blond and she used to swim - well that is all to her. They cannot say anything else because everything else is negative. But, I do think the author was being kind by calling them a B-rated tv show; to me they are more D listers! But, she does speak the truth about the future of Monaco - everyone can see it but the Village Idiot of Monaco because he has allowed the sycophantic press coaxed him into a loveless marriage to as DisGrace instead of a New Grace.
The saga of the Rock becomes a series B May 25, 2011
The marriage of Albert of Monaco with Charlene Winstock planned for next July is more like a TV movie series B than a blockbuster, and generates about as much excitement as the 9458th episode of The Young and the Restless, soap opera 39 years since the first chain to nap time.
Resume. The original was Grace Kelly. We liked him in Hitchcock's films, then in her princess dress on the Cote d'Azur 50s. Glossy heroine almost too perfect, it offered the world's platinum blonde bun and her perfect, all seamlessly integrated into the cover of Point de Vue Images du Monde.
Then came Caro and Steph. Stars of an era that saw the paparazzi, they wisely defray the chronicle. Rising Star of the jet set, Caroline marries a beautiful brown nocturnal. The women's press loves his style preppy chic and photography from every angle, like a modern Barbie in various outfits: Caroline pants watching a polo match, Caroline evening gown triumph at the Rose Ball. Meanwhile, Stephanie sculpted shoulders dream by doing laps in the Olympic pool in Monaco, and appears like a nymph in double-page magazines.
In season 2 we see Carolina, struck a premature mourning, to take refuge in the arms of Vincent Lindon in Saint Remy de Provence, while Stephanie joins the Top 50 and is burning with love for her bodyguard. It still works and clients of the salons will pass on Marie Claire and Paris Match between the cut and blow dry. Closer is not yet born and the two damsels are still recipe.
The last season has failed. Caroline married a Prussian aristocrat slightly worn on the bottle. Stephanie creates a brand of sportswear and disappears into the trailer of a circus manager. The hearing is in freefall and the series now has fewer fans than the redif Derrick on France 3.
In the Grimaldi family, we now serves the son, ruler of the Rock. The poor have trouble capturing the light and blink in the spotlight. Little is known about his bride, if she is blonde and she knows how to swim. Whatever do these two, it is difficult to s' interest in their romance. Because Albert, already the father of two young princes are not classified in the order of succession, is less attractive than Brad Pitt? Charlene because, with its false air of Charlize Theron, is still far less sexy than Pippa Middleton?
It's the end of an era, and the heroes get tired of the Principality does not boostent sales Closer, Voici and Gala. Principality seems to have lost its former glory, and Albert, with its palace, casino, its motor racing and football club lost in the depths of League 1, reigns over a village where sunlights became extinct.

MyaDia, that article is great, hilarious! It describes perfectly the situation on the rock. People are fed up with the soap opera of the Grimaldi's dolce vita in Monaco.
Karma for you! No wonder they have to spend millions on PR to get even mentioned in the papers.
Except for people like us most people with "normal" interests do not know those two "lovebirds". My friends think I am crazy spending my time here.

Wow What and article!! The lack of sunlight must refer to all the money laundering and corruption. That was a really scathing article for Albert and Charlene. This is just the beginning of the bad press.

And here the summary+translation: THAT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD...Prince Albert and his fiancée Charlene attented several events in different places - but all people who saw them say unisono: There is no sign of love between them. And the organisation of the wedding seems to suffer problems too. Do you remember Victoria's wedding? Daniel's and her eyes where shining from a inner happiness. And we all remember William and Kate both radiating. Now the third couple is about to get married: Prince Albert (53) and his beautiful fiancée Charlene Wittstock (33). But when we look at their faces we don't see any magic or tenderness. The closer the wedding date - the more unhappy they both look. Royal watchers all over Europe say:"There is no sign of love between Albert and Charlene." They visited several places during the past weeks. The Prince appeares always testy. But that's nothing if you look at Charlene! After eleven years her fairy tale seems to come true. She should laugh, jubilate and shine now. But she looks like the most unhappy bride on the planet. Maybe because she fears that the weding will be canceld in the last minute? But there are more problems: The stamp isn't ready, Charlene's march isn't ready and the newly created rose isn't ready too! The invitations must have been send not long ago. Royal houses send their invitations for weddings six month in advance! And the hotel workers might strike during the wedding. The list of guest who have confirmed to come is still not made public. All we know is that the British royal house will send Prince Edward and Sophie. That's only the third rate of the Windsors and might be a answer to the "quittance" for bad behaviour of Albert and CHarlene who arrived late for the Queen's pre-wedding-dinner of William & Kate in London. That's a kind of faux pas that can not be excused. Thee seems to be a lack of high class guests. Maybe that's why TV-stations refused to buy the permittion fees. Not they can send it for free. It all doesn't look good. Now finally Prince Albert hired a new team of wedding planners. Pretty late... And even they won't be able to prevent Nicole Coste (39) and Alexander (7) to come and cause a really bug scandal. A wedding nightmare. su Pics: Prince Albert - nervous. Causes by chaos of planning? Nicole Coste - uninvited guests will come with a TV-team. Monegasques anticipate a huge scandal 04.04.: Albert and Charlene/ Ireland: Albert is testy, the have a "discussion" in Dublin 14.05. France: Nervous and stressed: Charlene during inauguration of Prince's garden in Carnoles. London, 28.04.: Pre-wedding dinner of William & Kate - embarrassing! The couple arrived after the Queen. Now the Windsors send only third rate. Monaco 23.04. Exotic garden. Loveless: that's how Albert and Charlene appear during the last weeks. Depressed: In spite of fuller lips Charlene doesn't look happy. She appears depressed and anxious. I hope you are aware that you are now an unpaid employee of eringer. He is an avid reader here and loves to copy paste then rather do his own work... not surprised Albert hired him, he is just as unoriginal as the rest of people who work for him.

Say what you will about Eringer, he is a collector of information both pro and con Albert by what he publishes on his Q & A. All anonymous so one needs to take it into account. That said, I have to say, in terms of money laundering and corruption, not just in Monaco, but else where, I have learned a lot. I can not dismiss what is posted on his Q & A. Most intelligence people work contacts, and gather info, collected by others. The question is not whether it is there own original work, but how they assess what they have gathered. His blog essentially puts it all out there for the viewer to decide. Some challenge him on his opinions. Some challenge other posts on their opinions. The viewer is the one who needs to keep in context the fact that the sources are anonymous and assess the information accordingly as to what one believes. JMO

I still think that Eringer is just a gossip collector. And he relies to much on others then his own sleuthing. I think his main problem is his lack of knowing the language. I saw the translation of a MC matin headline and he completely didn't get it. google translation is a good helper when you know the language well enough. It speeds things up; nonetheless, every translation remains an interpretation, so can be very misleading if you do not have a solid knowledge of the language as well. I do think he was employed by Albert (which does show what an idiot the man is), but I do think that a lot of people on this board would have been able to get more solid information. There are journalists that do a more thorough job then him. and they have a better style of writing too. one of his entries is a mix of the times article and sth else...he would have done better just to copy the times article and credit them. Now he posts margaritas translation of aktuelle, without giving credit. He can't even claim that he got it from the net as they are no longer available online with their articles and I doubt that they are already available in Montecito as in my experience overseas German tabloids lag 1 or 2 weeks behind. I simply find it very telling about who Eringer is as a person and even more telling who Albert is for hiring such a person and marrying the same type.
