I think this really is an entertaining article. It actually states that the topic of the red cross was indeed the marriage and the press service has actually placed the gossip columinists as far away from the princely table as they possibly could....and they also say that they were not amused. Apparently they were also excluded from the raffle. I don't know if that has always been the case, but MC matin finds it important to note. This article underlines IMO though that the entire Red Cross was staged and everyone had gotten their role. www.monacomatin.mc/article/derniere-minute-monaco/gala-de-la-croix-rouge-a-monaco-la-mariee-etait-en-roseThe other article in MC matin is still not accessible. Makes you wonder why. Guess it didn't pass the palace censorship Because Eringer had a field day with it and it backfired again. If the press were kept a bay during the ball (read what Eringer is saying about money laundering through the Monaco Red Cross) they are going to start digging in more. According to Eringer the press pays a fine and then goes right back to their stories. I have a feeling L'Express is going to defend itself vigorously. I hope we hear the outcome.

French News Magazine VSD critiques Albert and Charlene's PR plan to attack these rumors. It seems that Albert allowed photographers to take more photos than as in the past - longer at the princely table. VSD say, as we do, that their little photo opps do not change people's opinions about this sham of a relationship. Well, those people who don't spend their time smoking crack about the greatness of Charlene and the love of this couple like those lunatics on sugar boards.

Here's an excerpt of the article that was online. Read the full article in VSD No. 1773 (from 18 to 24 August 2011) [/blockquote]Notice the photo that they chose - one with Charlene's bitchstock pose - "I won you bitches!" Also, notice that people are still afraid to speak on record - VSD changed the name of a guest who spoke to them.
Monaco. LITTLE Empire Strikes Back. How Albert struggles to forget his rotten summer
Albert and Charlene: the big com '
By Anastasia Svoboda and Bertrand Meyer-Stabley 08/17/2011 More than a month after his marriage, the royal couple took over the reins of his communication out of the media storm. Albert, in person, against attack. Decryption.
Wrapped in a sheath dress, neck adorned with the diamond necklace donated by the Prince as a wedding gift, a tender smile on the lips: Charlene is in love, the dance begins. After the media storm before her marriage with Albert of Monaco, followed by the fiasco of their honeymoon, it was time to recover. What's better than the 63rd Gala de la Croix-Rouge, August 5, to show their happiness in front of eight hundred guests? "The photographers were allowed to blast away longer than usual princely table," says Sandra *, one of the guests. Stephanie and Caroline were both present, making block around their brother. The prince's ex, Nicole Coste, she was asked not to show the tip of her dress, unlike previous years. In short, since their return from honeymoon, July 19, the couple is working hard to show love and to silence the rumors.
Their first official appearance was at the Institute of Oceanography, where the exhibition "The History of the royal wedding" depicts the memories of their wedding. The next day the Prince and Princess, accomplices, applauded the athletes of international athletics meeting at the Stade Louis-II. "They use big strings to rectify this but do not fool anyone, analysis Amélie de Bourbon-Parme, senior consultant of the advertising agency Euro RSCG. And that alone will not remove the doubts set in people's heads. They should have been wiser during this crisis. " (*) The name was changed.

"...working hard to show love and to silence the rumors. Never a truer statement! ;D Albert really thought no one would care what their relationship was about....or worse thet they didn't already know! Like anyone believes the this girl would walk away! If they didn't want to confirm the rumors that Charlene was not just a paid for golddiger (which she is of course), maybe they shouldn't have immeditely showed her in less than a month from her wedding being paid off....ordering her tiaras, and promoting her jewels, and announcing she was buying her own real estate, and taking over Rainiers office! NO of course no one believes thiis girl is a golddigger! "I'm a fashion Icon" ;D NO Advisers or PR team would be better than what Albert has--they continue to top themselves! How many people would hire these people! I guess they think they better fleece Albert now, because after their gig is up there, no one else will be stupid enough to hire these people--not after their splendid job there! Can't his sister's slap him around a little to wake him up!

IMO thats a classical pyrrhic victory. 1) Now the dust finally settled on the run-away-bride-story they go and raise it again ! 2) If Charlene would be the beautiful happy pregnant Princess today people would share their joy to have proven false the rumors about the unhappy couple of summer 2011... however: 3) since then w never saw a truly happy Charlene, nor a truly happy couple ... but Charlene holding hands in Paris with other man while Albert was far away, a couple spending their wedding anniversary far away from each other, even in January 2013 we don't see the result of their sooo true big love = child or at least pregnancy. That is why 4) nobody buys the love story inspite of a formal victory. Can you imagine a magazine writing a run-away-story about Maxima? Or Mary? Or even Letizia? NOBODY would have believed a single word of it.

Note they are suing the Monaco Matin Express too That only shows how desperate they are... BTW: Maybe it was really not Albert who held her hostage and took her passport. There is some very, very connection behind Charlene. So the fact they win against newspapers who claimed that Albert prevented Charlene from flying back to S.A. ... is no proof that she did not try to run away ... just with not Albert helding her hostage.

Mc Matin is owned by the Grimaldis, so they are suing themselves? ? l'express is a magazine in France. NOt so easy to get them to pay anything. They were the ones that started it, so the Brit papers only reprinted the story and didn't have the sources. L'express has the sources that they are not going to reveal. They will only reveal what has been told to them. So entirely different matter. Also L'express may report on the procedure and repeat everything again. SO really it's not going to help. Besides next year they will be on the brink of divorce and then what? The media will get their money back like they are trying to with Armstrong? Armstrong won the suits with a lot of media. And it turned out he lied in court and the media was telling the truth. Armstrong is a good friend of Albert. The trashys wore the liestrong armband to show their support. So they should know that these days no one believes a story is not true because a judge says so. Trashy should know that too from her doping days. SHe was just lucky, but one day people will talk. Btw Armstrong says he is going to talk. When the tour started in MC a German reported noted that Armstrong was not supervised by officials as he should have been. And we know that people cooperated with him. IN MC I am convinced that Albert personally interfered, so that might blow in their face too. Albert who always claimed he was for clean sport married a doper, supported a doper and his bobsleigh team mate was found guilty of doping and afterwards dated his sister. I think that tells you everything about their credibility and the validity of the court ruling.

OMG - Everything about this fraud of a couple is due karma and it is NO COINCIDENCE BUT PURE KARMA that ON the same day that the Sunday Times victory for Albert and Charlene is published the world is also discussing Lance Armstron's at long last confession. Lance Armstrong sued the Sunday Times for libel for a 2004 article calling him a fraud and a doper and the Sunday times settled the suit in 2006 for over $1, 500,000. Here's what the Sunday Times wrote in 2006: A statement at the time from Schillings, the law firm acting for Armstrong, said: "The Sunday Times has confirmed to Mr. Armstrong that it never intended to accuse him of being guilty of taking any performance enhancing drugs and sincerely apologized for any such impression. Mr. Armstrong has always vigorously opposed drugs in sport and appreciates The Sunday Times efforts to also address the problem." Like Albert and Charlene Lance Armstrong has vigorously pursued legal suits against others for calling him a liar, heat and a doper. Here's what the court stated back then against the Sunday Times: The newspaper settled with Armstrong in June 2006 after the High Court ruled the article would be interpreted as meaning Armstrong was a "fraud, a cheat and a liar," Sounds familiar. I can go back and read the articles from the 2006 Sunday Times settlement and I am sure I will find many instances of Lance claiming that the suit vindicates him - sounds familiar.

And it turned out he lied in court and the media was telling the truth. Exactly Paca. I returned from my exile of following this fraud of a couple to write the same thing above. L'Express has removed their article. L'Express has always stood by their story because they have maintained that their sources are extremely credible. Let's not forget that Albert left his honeymoon to fire his aide. As I have always maintained since i first started following these pathetic people - In time the truth will reveal itself. Albert has screwed up Monaco so much and his over $75 million wedding to Charlene is just proof of his stupidity and total oblivion to Charlene's allure to the public. Based on Charlene's successful media campaign that started when she first hooked up with Albert again after New Years 2006 (please read the SA article from the reporter who Charlene asked to meet with for advice in planning her media strategy in 2006), Albert truly believed that marrying Charlene was going to be a economic boom for Monaco. Albert is suing everyone because he wants to place the blame on anyone and everything for being a laughingstock but where it belongs - with himself. Albert and Charlene can not face the reality that their attitude, actions, and words before, during and after the wedding solidified most people's opinions about him, Charlene and their marriage. More importantly, Albert had the opportunity to express to the world his undying love to his new bride during the Matt Lauer November 2011 interview. Let's recall what Albert stated in response to Matt's set the record straight question. Also, understand the below response matches all the pre-wedding response about his lukewarm feelings for his now wife. LAUER: ...and it may be awkward to ask this with your bride next to you, but why this time? Why now? Why this person? Prince ALBERT: You know, I guess it's just a question of timing and feeling that it's right and the heartfelt thing to do.
LAUER: Do you feel the pressure, though, I mean, from within the palace and from the people of Monaco to settle down?
Prince ALBERT: A little bit. Little bit in the family but mostly outside the family.
Basically, Sunday Times, like all the others who handed over millions to Albert and Charlene got SCREWED. Trust me one day the Sunday times will be doing the same thing that they are doing with Lance - asking for their money back! Unfortunately for Monaco, Albert and Charlene will further bring Monaco down to the gutter to satisfies their own selfish narcissistic egos to be adulated. Any sane normal couple would have just ignored the stories and continue to live their blissfully happy marriage. But we know here that Albert and Charlene aren't blissfully happy - and never was - and NEVER WILL BE - and will blame everyone else but themselves why they aren't.

There is some very, very connection behind Charlene. So the fact they win against newspapers who claimed that Albert prevented Charlene from flying back to S.A. ... is no proof that she did not try to run away ... just with not Albert helding her hostage. The problem with the runaway bride story is that Charlene was NEVER EVER going to runaway from everything she schemed and lied to get. NEVER! Charlene NEVER EVER had any intentions to NOT be Princess Charlene of Monaco.Albert is suing everyone partly because he is genuinely pissed off that people believe Charlene had to be forced to marry him. More than anyone else Albert knows just how badly Charlene wanted the princess gig. But Albert's problem is that Charlene successfully convinced him that the luxurious first class lifestyle, wealth, fame and title were not important to her as her love for him. Charlene convinced Albert that she was only begrudgingly accepting the "wealth, fame and title" because it came with the man - whom she loved. Something did happen before the wedding that caused Charlene to "run away" in a tiff - as she has done before - to show her displeasure to Albert. People who know what a true con artist she really is know that she NEVER had any intentions to STAY AWAY. but, Albert is one of those people who truly do not know just what a con artist he really married and L'Express probably have indisputable sources to prove that Albert did send someone to bring her back. Albert only wanted her back because he was still deluded in believing that his over $75 million investment in his street wedding was a good investment and was going to spur tourism in Monaco. Trust me, in time the truth will reveal itself!

In 2006, when Lance stetled with the Sunday Times for libel based on a story by sports reporter David Walsh, the media reported the settlement cost at $500,000. However, Walsh is reporting the settlement cost at around $1,500,000. Lance won other settlement also. Lance especially pursued the more credible media like the Sunday times to stop others from writing anything remotely negative about him during these items - and it worked for the most part. Lance was convinced that no one would ever be able to PROVE that he was doping. David Walsh received a lot of hate mail - even from reporters - for the negative stories and books that he wrote about Lance. Now, they are writing him and apologizing for doubting him.
Albert and Charlene has taken a page out of Lance's play nook. How can anyone prove what their true intents and feelings are concerning their marriage.
But they need to be careful - because one day someone will get tired of their suits and arrogant public posturing and take them down. Just wait until another baby mama want public acknowledge for her child conceived during Albert and Charlene's courtship and even engagement.

I recall sitting at a table with sweetie for lunch here in town once with Armstrong sitting next to us with two or three other men. He was your typical loudmouth spewing a monologue and staring like cattle. We both didn't get a good vibe from him. He was hyper IMO.

And: Armstrong and Albert are already mentioned in an article together today: www.welt.de/print/die_welt/sport/article112821071/Das-grosse-Zittern-in-Armstrongs-Schatten.html"Nur allzu gern suchten Männer wie Sarkozy, die US-Präsidenten Bill Clinton und George W. Bush oder Fürst Albert II. von Monaco in der Vergangenheit die Nähe des famos radelnden Krebsaktivisten." "In the past, people like Sarkozy. Bill Clinton or Albert of Monaco enjoyed to be associated with the successfull cyclist who fought against cancer."

Albert always surrounded himself with top athletes. Practically all of them are dopers. Journalists these days don't even discuss Bolts doping anymore, they just take it as a fact. Because all the runners he is competing against are doping too. And honestly whom did Armstrong beat? Was there anyone anywhere close to the top who was actually clean? Carl Lewis was doped, Florence Griffith Joyner died of doping and the list goes on. Now Albert is married to a doper who can not conceive due to doping. If she was ever meant to conceive that is...
