A new book is out about Albert and Charlene titled, Albert and Charlene, royal wedding in Monaco and written Alain Perceval and Stephane Loisy. However, the title of the article written by the Monaco Telecom journalist B. Ulrich is "Albert and Charlene, two destinies, a love story!" I am trying to breathe slowly so I don't let out a lot of expletives to describe this pie of trashy PR piece that these two writers - friends of Albert - are calling a book. I think this statement will sum up the contents of the book perfectly: Besides the two friends did not want to take any risks with the Palace: "The book was reviewed by Thierry Lacoste, counsel for the Prince who has endorsed the content. Although the Monaco Telecom reporter kisses Albert and Charlene's butt big time with the title of the article, but if you read between the lines at the things that he discloses in the article – the authors ae friends of Albert, Albert’s lawyers had to look over the book first, and no revealing interviews in the book - you will understand that these people are just kissing Albert’s fat ass and Charlene’s no-ass-at-all to survive in Monaco.

Here's the link to the Monaco Telecom article describing this piece of PR trash masquerading as a book.
Albert and Charlene, two destinies, a love story!
By B. Ulrich June 17, 2011
Alain Perceval and Stephane Loisy out "Albert and Charlene, royal wedding in Monaco."A book that recounts the saga of their family and tells the story of their love until marriage. Informative without being daunting.
"The first time the Prince Albert II and Charlene Wittstock were seen together, I would say that an event may occur." The least we can say is that Alain Perceval will had a sniff. Because at that time, who also traced another meeting of destinies, those of Carla Bruni and Nicolas Sarkozy, gets to work: "I started at that time to do a literature search on both Albert of Monaco This was relatively easy, but also Charlene Wittstock which was much more complicated!" To do this, he joined Stephane Loisy, a native of Monaco, and began writing the book. Work for four hands, with a stylistic bias, the novel: "What was interesting was to build it in a dynamic novel. To say that all elements are orchestrated in chronological order until an outcome. However, it only tells a story with real elements, if true, public and notorious."Besides the two friends did not want to take any risks with the Palace: "The book was reviewed by Thierry Lacoste, counsel for the Prince who has endorsed the content. This is not an official book but a book endorsed. On the other hand it was prefaced by Stéphane Bern, which is a form of security deposit!" said Stephane Loisy.
Parallel destinies, then crossed! Another advantage of the authors, is to follow the parallel stories of the protagonists. The choice was made to begin the epic in the nineteenth century when Monaco opens to tourism, the ancestors Kelly, miserable, leaving them to Ireland and the United States that Wittstok, not wealthy, go for what were still colonies in Africa. Fates intertwine in the story finally meet, as always, with love. And again, Perceval Alain and Stephane Loisy have seriously advised based on many documents and testimonies. All known facts are mentioned, without trial, the info Gross cleverly dressed. However, no interview has been made for writing the book: "We have seen in rare interviews has given that Prince Albert has always been enigmatic on the subject of marriage, he often has taken on the tone of the joke, he never gave a true indication. Charlene Wittstock was on his side just as quiet and when she had some meetings with journalists has always said he was out of question to broach the subject. It was therefore interesting to trace the events and in context."Ultimately, if the book has no scoop, it nevertheless has the advantage of stepping back on a story that takes place over nearly seven years and finally we learn quite a thing about the ancestors of the couple, including those of Charlene. In short, a must to shine in the salons to two weeks of marriage .

What a shame! The croc involved in! this while the syncopant#1 to the previous. This will make me blue. The croc involved usually means a lot of BS. However, given how the croc has screwed up in the past (Nicole and Tamara) he might well have missed stuff in the book. I'd rather read a Kitty Kelly version of the love story. Much more fun if you ask me. I wonder if it will document her surgeries to fit the "perfect princess" role.

they couldn't have chosen a bitchier cover...they don't look even vaguely interested in each other....don't people use their heads to think anymore? How do you want to sell a book about a wedding when the couple on the cover looks like you caught them in the middle of a divorce fight...I'd book that under major PR fails

One of the authors of this love-story book, Alain Perceval, has given an interview with France's TF1 tv station - one of the station broadcasting the wedding. It is really difficult for me to comment on this interview because it is so frustrating when ass-kissers give an interview because they have a difficult time telling the truth and keeping their lies straight. This man KNOWS without a shadow of a doubt that this is not a love story, but he doesn't want to come right out and state it. There are so many contradiction in his interview because he tries so hard to sell this book as a love story. Please note the contradictions and reasons he gives why Albert waited to marry Charlene and how in Turin Albert must have performed so publicly in Turin with Trashlene because he knew that he was going to marry her. that he give The most obvious thing that Stahl, Albert and the palace should realize about this interview is that TF1 is even asking this question - and they ask it several times! Also, TF1 even ask is Albert being forced to marry. Clearly, the palace is trying to get their media allies to contradict the negative press that this is not a love match. Also, Alain Perceval does admit that Albert and Charlene had contact between 2001 and December 2001. Charlene herself admitted this in EARLIER interviews - but then someone clued them in that iit doesn't look to good for the fairy tale love story that they are trying to sell to admit that she was a background booty call to Albert all these years.
Marriage of Monaco: decrypting a love story By Ludmilla Intravaia June 20, 2011
Interview - News TF1 bends with Alain Perceval, co-author of "Albert and Charlene" on a decade of princely romance, from the shadows of discretion in the spotlight.
TF1 News: You report in your book Albert and Charlene, royal wedding in Monaco , the statement by Prince Rainier to the press in 1955, a year before her marriage to American actress Grace Kelly : "I will not marry but for love. " Can we say that the sovereign was a love match, creating for his children a kind of precedent to follow their own inclination in their choices in love? Alain Perceval, journalist: Marriage or no love, only interest could say. The fact is that even if the reason was involved in the selection of Prince Rainier , in practice, was the first time we saw a reigning monarch to marry a film artist, a beautiful woman whom one can easily understand that was attracted to her. This is the first fairy tale of the twentieth century. In so doing, Prince Rainier has instituted a course of action that the children felt free to follow late. Princesses Caroline and Stephanie have chosen their mates without creating stress, following in the footsteps of their father.
TF1 News: Prince Albert II, as a (future) Sovereign, he was not subject to obligations that do not apply to her sisters? Alain Perceval: No, otherwise he would have married a young woman from a noble family. It was also seen in the company of several women. If he had been coerced, it would not have waited so long before sacrificing reasons of state. Arrived at the quarantine, he could have said he was sure his offspring for the succession to the throne. Instead, he waited to meet what he would consider wanting to marry her.
TF1 News: Can we interpret as much as possible, this expectation as the fact that Charlene Wittstock and Prince Albert II will make a love match in July? Alain Perceval: If it was not a love story, their relationship would not last that long. Prince Albert might have remained single and adopt one of his nephews, for example, as was mentioned a while. The couple invested in a relationship reflected in the long run.
TF1 News: As you tell in your book, Prince Albert met with Charlene Wittstock, a native of South Africa, during a sporting event in Monaco in 2000 and has established a relationship with her in 2001 when the next edition of the event. But their relationship was known in 2006. What happened during those five years? Alain Perceval: The pair had a distant relationship. She continued her career as a competitive swimmer. He fulfilled the obligations of his role in the principality. He went from time to time, discreetly, in South Africa. We do not know if it came to Monaco but I do not think it would have otherwise known. Their romantic relationship was maintained but not so in an extremely tight and consistent. This is also surprising that they managed to preserve the secrecy of their history, as they did.
TF1 News: The discovery of the bonds of Albert II of Monaco with Charlene Wittstock date of the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, February 10, 2006, in Turin, where they were photographed, very accomplices in the stands (see our slideshow ).Was wanted, this way of appearing in public? Alain Perceval: Yes. It is, or chance, or stolen photos but a calculation. The Grimaldi know very well manage their image and if Albert II to be photographed with Charlene, his head on his shoulder is a way to formalize their relationship. He had to consider that Charlene Wittstock was the woman he wanted to marry and the public appearance was a way to show it. I am convinced that if they had not already thinking marriage, they would not appear so obviously.
TF1 News: The press has not taken wrong, by engaging in extensive speculation about possible engagement ... Alain Perceval: Media have understood was happening there, something different. Previously, except for ceremonial events in Monaco, the pictures of Albert II in the arms of a woman were often stolen photos. Calculated with these pictures, the press has closely followed this relationship undisguised. Hence the rumors of marriage to this young woman that, apart from sports specialists, nobody knew.
TF1 News: The Palace and the two stakeholders have commented on these rumors? Alain Perceval: There has never been denied proper. But comments like " Charlene Wittstock is the guest of the prince, on the occasion of this event ", etc..Questioned by reporters, the prince slipped simply smile, something like 'c'is a friend . "I feel that a lot of fun with reporters, he played a little cat and mouse with them. In fact, the couple did not want to formalize their relationship too, so we did not break the legs with questions about marriage. Albert II and Charlene Wittstock wanted to take advantage of their history in peace.
TF1 News: But to announce her engagement in June 2010 ...It's a bit long, right? Alain Perceval: Not really, when you consider the long apprenticeship that was to Charlene Wittstock . She had to prepare for her role alongside her future husband. First, she did not speak a word of French. She took courses at an institute specializing in immersion, on the Cote d'Azur. Then she knew nothing about the great world and the protocol, although the palace of Monaco is relatively relaxed compared to other European courts. She used sports to casual wear. She learned to dress more chic. It is protestant and had to convert to Catholicism the state religion in Monaco. Its integration in the principality has been a gradual process.
TF1 News: Albert II has he not wanted also taking time to ensure that its promise not to resist the pressure to which the media would submit? Alain Perceval: This is part of learning. Previously, the journalists with whom she was dealing with were sports commentators. This was in a relaxed and friendly, especially in South Africa. She had to learn not to commit any faux pas, in short, lots of things horribly restrictive. She seems to cope very well. She is a quiet young woman who has gone through all this in a relatively impassive, certainly aided by self-control in them in their sports training.
TF1 News: Her appearance hailed by the press, particularly for its elegance, in the exhibition dedicated to Grace Kelly, in London in April 2010, she demonstrates the fruits of his learning? Alain Perceval: Keep company in Prince Albert, in a tribute to his mother, is not trivial. Especially as the press continues to compare Charlene Wittstock to Grace Kelly. We can say that on this occasion she has taken a step in the sense that she has proved worthy of being 'presented' to his mother. It was a kind of consecration for the young woman.
TF1 News: She was now ready to be presented in due form, the elite monarchy, at the wedding of Victoria of Sweden, June 19, 2010, and that three days before the announcement of her engagement. A coincidence? Alain Perceval: One does not attend a royal wedding, in front of hundreds of photographers, without having planned an engagement announcement. The press had expected but did not know when it occurs. It was a surprise that it happens so fast.
TF1 News: Evidence may be that the couple, despite the rigidity of the protocol, can still adopt attitudes unexpected? Alain Perceval: Just look at some pictures of them dancing at a rock concert, by mimicking a guitar, to understand that they know have fun like everyone else. They try to maintain the normal aspects of their lives.
TF1 News: As a normal couple? Alain Perceval: Almost like a normal couple. Almost.

My suggestion to this reporter -- take a look at recent photos of Zara Phillips and her soon to be husband Mike goofing off at a Polo match. Hugging and being with each other and their friends. You get the feeling of how much they connect with each other and not just physically. He may not be a good looking guy but you get the impression that he's very kind and cares about Zara. She attributes his steadiness and commitment to his sport in getting her to discipline herself to achieve more in her sport. They help each other with their individual goals. No where to we hear that from Charlene and Albert. What we do hear is what Charlene wants to do to Monaco. Now contrast that with Kate and William. Again another team. These reporters need their jobs and I'm sure some of them cringe at what they have to do to keep them. Why else would they make fools of themselves? JMO

what she wants to do TO Monaco not For Monaco....important difference I am sure CW does not get Actually, based on Charlene';s own statements, especially in her Tatler and vogue interview, Charlene only cares about what Monaco - well being Princess of Monaco - can do for her. Recall, her Sports Illustrated 2001 interview - she was disappointed that no one knew who she was - no one marketed her. Charlene stated that she wanted to market other swimmers when she retired. Well it seems that the only swimmer that Charlene is marketing is Charlene. Also, I forgot to add the link to the above interview, so Paca if you wanted to read it in French- I just added the link.

Albert and the Palace is just digging themselves in deeper to the fraud of this--what's new?Albert never uses any foresight. Everything they do like this is going to make it so much worse when the truth about their relationship comes out? I mean officially--there is no one that is fooled by this weird whatever it is meant to be? Campaign fiasco?

Yes CW is doing the reverse Kennedy: DOn't ask what you can do for your country, ask what your (new) country can do for you....and then take everything you can and put it in your pockets, bank accounts etc as long as there is still sth to take. And don't forget Marilyns wisdom: diamonds are a girl's best friend

Yesterday they were sentenced to 35 years in prison. ;D

I know, and they might even get a death sentence, if there will be verdicts in other lawsuits. But they are sitting with their gold in Saudi Arabia who will not give them up because they are too afraid the same could happen to them. Only if their own people went on the streets to demand they get kicked back to where they came from, there might be a chance, but I have my doubts. Moubarak will try to get off for cancer....

They (the Palace, Monaco's media, PR handlers and "friends", Albert and WC) are trying too hard to explain this relationship and present it as some "love story"...especially in last two months. Waaay too much and waaay too hard! It is actually annoying and it became boring. Definitely leave you more suspicious then convinced. Also, a little advise to a writer of this lovely book; if you want to write a love story and advertised it as such, stay away from the words "calculate, calculation, calculated..."

If they have been such a loving couple for the past eleven years, how come Fatal has fathered all these children at the same time? Exactly Donna. That's why Charlene is backpedaling and now saying that she had no contact with Albert from Dec 2001 until their New Years Eve date in Dec 2005. This con artist is a pathological liar and no one ever says, but you said on you interview with XXX, quite the opposite. No one ever challenges this pathological liar. No one.
