I like how this guy describes her contempt as being considerable, but that she tries to disguise it--she is not very good though, because I caught all her little remarks that she couldn't keep to herself in her posts when she thought no one was paying attention or had a chance of knowing who she really was--it made her very obvious and showed the kind of contempt she really has for not only Albert, but for people in general. The remark that she made to Almodovar and to the French PM and in her interviews are full of contempt--it's from her own inflated sense of entitlement in the world. Sandsla, I agree wholeheartedly with you about the contempt that Charlene has displayed for people. Let's not forget her contempt for Grace, Caroline and Stephanie (more pity than contempt). This is why most of all I feel that Albert is a sucker and really doesn't know this woman he married and presented to his people to bow to. If Albert really knew how much contempt that Charlene has for his mother he never would have married her. The irony is most people think, including Albert, that Charlene really admires Grace because she tries to emulate her. They are so wrong - really wrong! Charlene doesn't admire Grace the person, Charlene only wants the fame and worldwide adoration that Grace received. Charlene and her posse have called Grace a slut and have stated many times how Charlene is much better than Grace. If I could pick a truth that I would love revealed about Charlene - it would be her true feelings of contempt that she has for Grace. Yes I think that is what Albert doesn't get about trashy. She is not interested in him or his money but only in the social position and the glitterati that comes with it. And the ugly duckling wants to be considered a swan, hence she wants Graces jewellery, her painter to paint her, her dresses to look like Graces etc. SHe wants to be seen as a modern day Grace. Hence also the imitation of her (later years) hairstyle. I think Caro got that about her and therefore did not give her Graces jewellery, but instead her grandmothers. Trashy read all these years that MC needed a new Grace. But she completely got beside the point, as always. She thought it was about the pictures and the waving and the wearing of expensive clothes. SHe never got the part of filling the role with dignity. That's the part only Caro has gotten about her mother and slipped on like a glove.

And some are making a drama on other boards, because we dislike Trashy. She is so obnoxious, I can´t believe it how this mistress got the title. Monaco needed an Alice or Grace not a Fake "woman". an Alice would be perfect. A spirited woman with a sense for culture, bringing it back to MC. That's the one part I never got about Grace: why didn't she do more for the culture? WHy did she not get her act together and have a national theater and not as in the building, but as in a company with renowned directors, hiring writers etc. for an actress she did little to promote the art in MC.

This article from the South African satirical news site Hayibo is SO FUNNY! This is how the media really sees Albert and Charlene's relationship (and now marriage) - a laughing stock! The more "we are so in love" photo opps they do they more ridicule they will receive because they are terrible actors. This article is a month old, but it still applies even after the Red Cross ball. I just love the satirical comments that the writer attributed to her father (it's satire people - not real comments made by her father) - since Papa Witrtstocks real comments to the press were so obvious gold digging/grifting comments! The press (htose with more than three brain cells) can see through this relationship, Charlene and her family.
Charlene and Albert “most loved-up couple ever in history of world”
Published: 13.07.2011
UMHLANGA. Newlyweds Charlene Wittstock and Prince Albert of Monaco have issued a statement confirming that they are “really really really super happy and in love” in the wake of global speculation that their marriage is an obvious fraud. “Really, honestly, I haven’t seen a more devoted couple since Shrien and Anni Dewani,” said a spokesperson for the couple.
Prince Albert and Charlene Wittstock sought yesterday to counter widely-spread scepticism about the legitimacy of their union by announcing that it was “totally a Monaco tradition for a newly-wed husband and wife to sleep 20km apart on their honeymoon”.
Spokesperson Goldfinger Dupont stated: “Prince Albert and his paid-off heir-production-factory, I mean wife, are literally ecstatic and simply cannot get enough of each other.
“They are so besottedly in love that they have chosen to follow Monaco tradition in spending their honeymoon miles and miles away from each other, which is thought to maintain the mystique and eroticism of a marriage in its early stages.”
When asked why he was crossing his fingers behind his back, he explained that this too was a Monaco tradition to prevent Jews stealing your money.
Charlene Wittstock’s father, Mike, yesterday angrily denied that the marriage was a sham.
“Everyone is just jealous,” he said. “When Charlene tied the knot with that bald rich guy, it was the proudest moment of my life.”
Journalists suggested to him that his daughter’s performance as a champion swimmer must surely have induced equivalent pride.
“Don’t talk kak,” Wittstock laughed. “Charlene only finished fifth in the Sydney Olympics, but she’s finally made up for it by taking home the gold in the marriage game.”
He added: “And I mean ‘taking home the gold’ literally. Her mother and I have finally been able to achieve the Benoni dream of studding the razor-wire encircling our property with diamonds and moon-rocks.”
An early sign that something might be amiss with the high-profile union emerged when Charlene was intercepted at Nice Airport attempting to flee the principality days before the wedding.
“This, too, has an obvious explanation,” said a sweating Dupont. “She was on her way to a solo hen-do, as again is the Monaco way, but unfortunately was not permitted to fly out due to having a bottle of contact lens solution in her hand luggage that exceeded the permitted 50ml of liquid.”

Another body language, Judi James from the Daily Mail, gives her opinion about Albert and Charlene's relationship. My favorite quote: I’ve seen this from actors on stage who want to pretend to snog.
Body talk with Judi James: Paying lip service, Charlene?By JUDI JAMES 20th August 2011
There were so many rumours that Charlene Wittstock was a bolting bride who had to have her travel card impounded to prevent her doing a runner before her nuptials in Monaco, that I wouldn’t be surprised to discover Prince Albert had used superglue instead of lip balm here prior to this royal balcony snog. It certainly looks as though there was some form of gummy substance involved, as Charlene appears to be levitated by the lips.
This species of smacker has its own name: The Distracted Kiss. It involves some dodgy mouth-steerage plus a distracted eye gaze from one of the partners, while the other closes their eyes dutifully and surrenders to the passion. Looking askew like this can suggest arrogance, power or even disinterest, as though the kisser is so high status and busy they need to contemplate a distant horizon rather than focus on the oral gooiness.
Which brings me to the lips. A normal kiss will usually involve a little head tilt and mouth-opening against mouth-opening, albeit a politely puckered one if you’re on the royal balcony. However, this apparent miss-kiss means Charlene has ended up attached to Albert’s top lip area, while he’s planting his kiss on to her lower lip/chin. I’ve seen this from actors on stage who want to pretend to snog. Maybe this is a technical triumph that other royal newlyweds might want to mimic in future.

This is hilarious, and so true! I'm sorry I just saw this! I thought it wouldn't hurt to see it again, and remind these people how silly they look.

wait for what? divorce? everyone in MC is expecting it. But don't worry they will make sure there is a baby before the divorce. Just so trashy can have a pretext to demand more money and be kept in style.

Just so trashy can have a pretext to demand more money and be kept in style. Yeah, which is sad. I don't really want to see a baby of this duo. Eeww. So unfair for the child. For Monaco. Paca, do you think the marriage will last 5 years?

in the true sense it is already over, the rest depends on money and how long Albert can tolerate the negative press. I don't think that he ever had the intention of giving as many pre wedding interviews as he did. i honestly think that he would have wanted to bolt, but was too much of a coward to admit yet another mistake. plus no one really expected him to go through with it. he did it for all the wrong reasons. and he will stick with it for the same wrong reasons. Trashy will never go on her own account. she'd insist on wearing a tiara if she was to be beheaded, just to have it close to her. The woman is obsessed. but not with Albert. And albert is just dumb and too much of a coward to admit it. plus even if he never really wanted the job, he is not willing to give it up for lack of other ideas. the job is a good pretext for him to keep telling himself that if he had had a choice he would be sth different and and he would be better in it. fact is though that he is a below average guy, who under different circumstances would be an employee somewhere, complaining about the boss and not being paid what he deserves, whilst delivering work that would warrant a salary cut of at least 50%. Only his birth has put him where he is. Life is now showing him the place where he belongs and will end up eventually: in the gutter with his plastic wife. Only that she will on her way down stretch out her flippers and hang on to some other lapel to leave Albert on his own in the gutter with no money left.

I agree wit hall the above Paca, Albert will ply this marriage - his BIGGEST mistake - all the way to the end because he doesn't have the spine or the brain power to ever admit that he made a mistake or worse that he was suckered into this loveless unhappy marriage. HE will pretend more than Charlene. And Charlene will NEVER EVER walk away because I am sure the pre-nup probably includes the take away of the title. This con artists will NEVER live without her long schemed title of Her Serene Highness Princess Conlene. She sees it as her ticket to forever being sucked up to.

Now, if this wedding was indeed a play to the gallery rather than a real union based on genuine love and affection, then Monaco needs to rejoin the French Republic, toute de suite. Who spends that kind of money on a wedding, let alone a fake one? This blogger’s opinion about Albert’s wedding expresses a type of sentiment that Monaco’s propaganda machine will not be able to calculate (or should ignore) in measuring the success of this farcical wedding – but should. Anyone with a brain sees this wedding and now marriage as nothing but a big made-for-tv wedding joke. The article is rather long, but it really is a good read.
Loco in Monaco…or what Albert’s wedding says about the “Western World”
By writelikehell 19 July 2011
“No wonder they hate us” – or some sentiment of that ilk – was one of my favorite lines ever muttered by Toby Zeigler in an episode of the West Wing, possibly the greatest television series in US history.
Who the “they” are can be interpreted in a number of ways — terrorists, citizens of “third world” countries, the religiously devout. For the purposes of this blog post, let’s say that the “they” are people from countries facing serious challenges right now – Japan, Haiti,Southern Sudan. People who do not have time or energy to indulge in guilty pleasures like The Bold and The Beautiful or Dr. Phil. They’re too busy trying to put their lives back together or perhaps to simply survive.
Then there’s the so-called Western World — The US and Canada, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand and a handful of like-minded comfortable nations with too much time on our hands. And some pretty useless ways of spending it!
A couple of weeks ago, all eyes were locked on Monaco, a principality that exists at the pleasure of France. A city-state made famous by an American actress and favorable tax conditions. Many international sports stars call it home, at least on paper. It has a reputation for being a playground for the ultra-rich (though not necessarily the ultra-classy).
I’ve said before that I don’t do celeb gossip on this blog and I don’t intend to start, however, some recap of the coverage surrounding the wedding is necessary in order to bring all readers up to speed for the main point of this article. Several newspaper websites were consulted for background and the common points can be summarized as follows:
• The bride reportedly tried to flee Monaco amid rumours that her husband-to-be had fathered a love child while courting her • The runaway bride was allegedly detained by French authorities and her passport confiscated, so that the prince could talk her out of leaving him and ditching the wedding in order to give Monaco the uplifting celebration it needed (and save his ass) • It has been speculated, that Sarkozy himself may have been involved in ordering the detention of the bride-to-be at Nice airport so that the prince could talk to her • Some arrangement was allegedly made that resulted in the bride returning to the principality and participating in the wedding festivities • Several photos show the groom kissing the bride with his eyes open • Honeymoon reports suggested that there still may be trouble in paradise.
Why are these sordid details important (and note I have recounted the press reports and not claimed any of these bullets as fact, except the photos of them kissing, which are just creepy!)? They’re important because if there is even a modicum of truth to these allegations, then the already objectionable excesses of the wedding celebrations would seem to have crossed over into the realm of the downright offensive.
By any standards, this was a lavish wedding. 3500 wedding guests were invited to share in the couple’s happy moment, including cellphone-chucking Naomi Campbell, Karl “He’s the Grim Reaper’s muse” Lagerfeld, would-be bride-detaining-head-of-state Sarkozy as well as a cast of characters, from the gallery of European and Asian royal families to D-list Eurotrashy celebs like Victoria Silverstedt. £45 million/$75 million is what The Telegraph UK is estimating as the bill for this event.
Now, if this wedding was indeed a play to the gallery rather than a real union based on genuine love and affection, then Monaco needs to rejoin the French Republic, toute de suite. Who spends that kind of money on a wedding, let alone a fake one? They could’ve cut the guest list by one third and still had quite the shindig to keep the paps snapping long into the night. Looking at some of the freakish attendees, it might have improved the image of Monaco to eliminate some invitees from the celebrations. The fireworks over the Mediterranean were also over the top. Stunning, but over the top.
Not that the fireworks are important right now. No, the real issue is what they typify: the bling culture that dominates the “Western”, “developed”, “First”, whatever you want to call this part of the world, the part with too much money and time on our hands and too few real problems forcing us to focus on what’s really important in this life.
No wonder they hate us.
The singer Monica wore $1 million worth of jewels to her second wedding ceremony to a former NBA player. I certainly hope those jewels were on loan or at least acquired to be worn for more than just a few hours at the second reciting of her wedding vows. Who spends $1 million dollars on their wedding dress accessories?
I’ll tell you who doesn’t: Warren Buffett‘s children. The man still lives in the same relatively modest house he bought decades ago and his children won’t inherit his billions because he believes people should have to earn their own way. Honest values – what a rarity these days.
Has Albert of Monaco earned his own way? Don’t get me started. Born a billionaire and inheriting a tract of the French Riviera to rule as he sees fit (yes, the Grimaldis are one of the few royals who actually still rule their territory) and possibly force women to marry against their desire, Albert has in all likelyhood never known real troubles in his life. Unless you consider fathering two, three or potentially even more children out of wedlock a “trouble,” but then again, last I checked, condoms were not illegal in Monaco. And even if they were, he’s the prince, he could change that with a pen stroke. Well, clearly, this prince is out to have more than his pen stroked…
This rant actually started when I read about a survey in the UK called “Little Miss Fashionista” as reported in Danish broadsheet Politiken. The survey revealed that one-third of all two year-olds in the UK have at least one designer dud in their closet. 39% of British parents feel it is their duty to keep their kids up to date with high fashion. Yes, I remember Maslow’s need hierarchy with food and shelter at the base and on the level immediately above it you’ll find Louboutin, Bottega Veneta, Versace.
And there’s me thinking I was the cat’s meow as a kid, because my Garanimals pants and shirt were from the same order on the Linneaus classification. For today’s kids, nothing less than Burberry, Lanvin, Gucci or Little Marc Jacobs will do.
We’re consumed with our own consumerism – and instead of being outraged, we embrace it and even revel in it. We gawked at Kate and Wills, cooed at prisoner-in-a-gilded cage Charlene and her adoring prince Albert (yes, I wrote that sarcastically) and few in the media question what’s wrong with this picture. They’re too busy falling over each other to patch together the most gushing recap of the Fairy Tale Wedding.
That’s because today’s press is at best a reporting function – what happened, what was she wearing? – instead of an investigative and critical function –why did that happen and was that right, what happened? Any idiot with an iPhone and a basic command of the English language can be a reporter these days, it seems. And that’s good news for Albert and his cronies, because they are free to objectify women, deplete the public coffers for phony personal celebrations and to engage in whatever other amoral activities they’ll be getting up to in that principality (“she said ‘stroke’…hah, hah, hah”).
No wonder they hate us, the people in parts of the world with the real struggles and the real problems. Some days, I hate us, too.

Excellent article! It seems that there are more and more people voicing their outrage with this kind of ignorant and superficial idiots who think that it is appropriate to flaunt their inherited or easily "earned" money, aka. Albert and Charlene or Kim Kardashian and that dumb looking new husband of hers, during the one of the worst economical crises in the world. At the time when majority of world population straggle and even experiencing famine some people like these idiotic and fake couples are trowing millions of dollars/euros on frivolous things...and are not even feeling ashamed or at least uncomfortable. Albert has definitely lost his marbles to do what he is doing. I am telling you, more and more people are outraged by people like Albert and WC...and rightfully so. If this kind of decadency doesn't stop, something bad is bound to happen.

However, what's worse about Albert and Chalrene's wedding - besides it being a loveless match - is that Monaco's government had to fork over $15 million to help pay for this farcical wedding! The government had to forgo money into social programs to help pay for Albert and Charlene's made-for-tv look-at-me-and-my-wealth wedding. Leading up to the wedding, the Monaco media published many articles about the historical nature and seriousness of Monaco's budget deficit, but yet they still paid money for Albert and Charlene's extravagance. Charlene has photos and videos of her boasting about her new wardrobes and her three very expensive commissioned jewelry - yet the government of Monaco still had to pay $15,000,000 to help cover the wedding expenses. That is what is I find the most repulsive about this wedding. I don't recall the U.S. government paying any money for Kim K's wedding.

And then there is the British wedding of William and Kate where the Royals and the Middletons forked over a good portion of the money to pay for it so the tax payer wasn't burdened by the total expense. What did Albert fork over? The dress and her jewels?

Albert and Charlene spent all that money simply because they could. Just because you can do things, doesn't mean that you should. Albert and Charlene had their moral characters tested, and they failed - miserably. They are both incorrigible narcissists.
