My interest is not in whether or not their marriage is "real, since its legality defines it as such by most people's definition. It also doesn't matter to me whether it is based on love, friendship, or a business arrangement, since even those who marry for love may, in time, feel differently about each other and stay together for practical reasons.
The purpose of my original comment was to express some measure of surprise that Albert and Charlene, and maybe even others in power in Monaco, seemed unprepared for the media and internet's levels of scrutiny and fact-checking. The images of Charlene and Albert presented online and in other media/publications suggest a very different story to the "fairy tale" headlines they seem desperate to promote.

The images of Charlene and Albert presented online and in other media/publications suggest a very different story to the "fairy tale" headlines they seem desperate to promote. Exactly! So, feel free to continue your discussions in this thread. I still don't understand your objections to wanting to continue the conversation that you started in this thread.

peoplewatcher i agree to a point. FatAl is an idiot, he thinks he's "in charge" but "special interest" >>(see mafia) and flying monkey flunkies have controlled things IMO within months of his fathers death. FatAl gave that big speech about "cleaning things up" they sat him down and showed him who's boss. at which time he became the "green prince" and left the country stomping his carbon footprint, partying and whoring all over the world. a world i might add, that doesn't take him seriously and even more so since he married the trashy tranny find him a joke. they didn't get 5 minutes USA media time (and that's all i can judge) during the wedding and they haven't got 5 minutes since. NO people magazine, good housekeeping, US.....heck even Parade (the local paper insert that has featured other royals) haven't had them on a cover EVER!!!! when trashlene does appear on huffington post and fashion blogs, the comments are clearly not fan, people don't know her and DON'T want to know her!! during the wedding when they were mentioned it was usually snarky, snickering about the age difference and her plastic surgeries. ROFL he can buy all the awards he wants and build her up but she's bound to fail because they are pathetic, shallow people that are from the 50's era when you could manipulate images and create a fairytale, in this day of instant information the train wreck is just a matter of time. i think the media has decided WillKat is the lovestory and maybe the non dynamic duo will be the counter balance, people do love scandal more than sugar JMO but the US has it's own trashy celebs (see Kardashians) the non dynamic duo are just too tacky, too shallow and too plastic to be of much interest over here (if she'd been an American girl, even if she was as ugly as trashlene we wouldn't be having this conversation )

Thanks Mrs. Z. Over $60 million dollars to be the poster child for fake marriage for hires. Pitiful. I like how they didn't even have to show their faces to get the point across.

I found this online on a widely read blog "Celebitchy". There were 82 comments (mostly commenting how sad and miserable Charlene always looks).
Princess Charlene is not pregnant, depressed, tacky & friendless, sources say
Poor Princess Charlene. I know some of you don’t feel sorry for this poor woman, but every time I read about her or see new photos of her, I just feel a wave of sympathy. We haven’t heard much from Charlene recently, except for the epic haircut that failed to take the world by storm. Incidentally, I still like the haircut. I think it suits her a great deal, and her hair looks much healthier like this. Anyway, there are some new reports about Poor Charlene. And none of it is good news. According to The Mail and the French publication Voici, Charlene is “depressed” because she’s still unable to get pregnant. Sources claim that Charlene and Albert’s “pregnancy pact” is real – meaning that she’s basically a broodmare, only fit to provide a legitimate heir, and once she does that, she will be allowed out of the marriage. The “pact” was widely reported last year, around their wedding – incidentally around the time that Charlene allegedly tried to pull a runner THREE TIMES only to have her passport confiscated in one of the most medieval twists in modern royalty. The gist of the new report is that thus far, she’s having issues getting knocked up. Probably because she feels like vomiting whenever she has to be within five feet of Albert and they have been living separately this whole time?
Prince Albert of Monaco’s new wife Charlene Wittstock has become ‘depressed’ at her failure to provide her husband with a legitimate heir, it was claimed today. Princess Charlene is said to have struck a ‘deal’ with the principality’s playboy ruler to bear him a child after she tried to flee before their wedding last summer. But the 33-year-old South African is now unable to get pregnant, France’s Voici magazine reported.
Albert already has already fathered two love-children, but neither can succeed him as they were both born out of wedlock. Voici magazine said: ‘Charlene has made the subject of pregnancy a taboo topic around the Royal palace. She might have a smile on her face at official functions, but inside she is stressed and frustrated. This subject is weighing more and more heavily on her shoulders.’
Rumours of a rift and a ‘pregnancy pact’ erupted even before the couple married in a lavish state wedding ten months ago. Charlene was said to have bolted for Nice airport two days before they married after hearing Albert had had a third love-child during their relationship. Monaco officials were said to have coaxed her back by brokering a deal between the Prince and his reluctant bride that she provide him with a legitimate heir. After that she would be free to leave of her own free will, it was reported last July.
One source said at the time: ‘Charlene will provide an heir, then if things don’t go well, she will receive a generous divorce settlement once she’s served a decent amount of time.’
Albert, 54, has one seven-year-old son Alexandre with Togolese air hostess Nicole Coste. He has another daughter Jazmin, 20, born after a brief affair with American estate agent Tamara Rotola.
Charlene last year called suggestions that she was reluctant to marry ‘hilarious’ on the Today show.
‘Why would we go to all this effort, to have this fantastic couple of days, and have our most intimate and dearest friends come and join us, for us to be reluctant,’ she said.
Her husband suggested the rumours might have been triggered by jealousy from people who ‘did not like the fact that we were finally together and married.’
He was apparently told on the day of his wedding that he would have to take a paternity test to determine whether he was the father of the third illegitimate child. Charlene, who was accused of trying to run away three times before she married, claimed the rumours were purely generated to sell magazines. But she spoke earlier this year about her ‘loneliness’ in Monaco, and added: ‘I only have two people I consider friends here.’
The spokesman told France’s high society Point de Vue magazine last year: ‘Charlene has beauty and style, and we are all praying that she will ensure the royal succession in our principality. Albert has never settled down in the past, but knows that the time is now right to produce the next ruler of Monaco.’
[From The Mail]
The royal spokesman’s statement still runs a chill down my spine. It’s the phrasing, right? “…We are all praying that she will ensure the royal succession in our principality. Albert… knows that the time is now right to produce the next ruler of Monaco.” BROODMARE BROODMARE. Ugh, it’s so… disgusting.
The Daily Beast had additional excerpts from this Voici article, plus some exclusive dirty, plus some old gossip that’s kind of interesting – you can read the full piece here. A court insider told The Daily Beast, “People are embarrassed by [Charlene]. There was a hope that she could introduce some glamour, but now most people just feel she is tacky.” Another insider says that society people in Monaco have “taken to pre-emptively apologizing for Charlene.” That’s so rough! Also, sources say Charlene doesn’t have any friends in Monaco, and she still hates her husband.
I’m including some recent photos of Charlene doing some solo events in Monaco – I think she looks like she’s really trying to make this “public figure/First Lady” thing happen. She seems very down-to-earth at public events. She reminds me of Princess Diana a great deal.

princess DIANA OMG i take back every karma i ever gave you! you have every right to your opinion, but she is NO princess diana, she's barely (and i'm still not convinced) a woman, much less a princess. this tranny deserves every single unhappy moment and i hope she's wallowing in misery forever. my only hope is she's had so many hormones and is such a drug addict, she can't breed and destroy a life, like she's destroyed moronaco. put down the koolaid, i'm not going to drink it. you'll never find any sympathy for this trashy.... princess disgrace. this marriage is a farce, a business, a con job and the whole world knows it. what kind of monster would breed a child in captivity and then leave it behind when she leaves with a big wad of cash. he'd got more respect hiring a surrogate than marrying this trashy heifer. i won't compare her to a broodmare, horses are smart, cows are stupid.

Countess, the Diana comment comes from the Celebitchy site, not from the poster. Don't take away her karma, she already has less than I have. The story has also reached this weeks Point de Vue. It seems set to become just as big as the runaway bride story. PDV wonders if she is really happy. The first lady of the rock. There must be something that can be done with that remark.

The Blog, Celebitchy compared Charlene to Diana for the following reasons:
1. She attempted to destroy the institution of the Monarchy and shook it to its core - by not respecting the way things are done.
2. The mopey, always feeling sorry for herself, self absorbed behavior.
3. She copied Diana's short blond bob.
I believe Diana had an amazing capacity for emphathy for the poor and was a PR genius. Obviously there is no similarity between Charlene and Diana in that respect. However, the "poor me" aspect of both of them, looking for sympathy by leaking bad information about their significant other cannot be ignored.
Take my Karma, Countess - see if I care!

Countess:
No problem! I think there is tremendous value in posting what the media (blogs and opinion makers) are saying about Charlene.
By the way, my theory is that Albert decided to "cut her loose" and is allowing select media to report about her in a very negative way. All of a sudden there are a spate of news reports saying she can't conceive, tried to run away, held him up for a fortune to have his kid, etc. I think he decided to cut her loose! Look how idiotic they look together. He is a spoiled, pampered brat - he is not going to "hang in there". He decided if she appears to be unhinged, he can unload her with minimal further damage to his reputation. After all, its not much of a difference to be a "never married 53- yr old" or a "divorced 54 year old". Watch the glamour-girl Hollywood parade begin again. My vote: Bar Refaeli - perfect - she could handle the media (she is used to it from her Leo Decaprio relationship) and she is gorgeous, glamorous and young.

Sorry for spamming with gifs, but I thought it´s funny [/img][/quote] Thanks Refia! But, you cut this video 1 second too quickly. Charlene does her fake loving gaze after the kiss, but she rolls her eyes as she turns her head. Seriously, this woman is a narcissistic con artist. The gaze was for her 100 fans and her keepsake photos, but the micro second of the rolled eyes afterward shows the real Charlene - a true disgusted con artist. Can you update the gif to include right after the gaze?
