Since Charlene is not appearing as much as one would think after her wedding, one (or myself, at least) can't help but wonder why did he marry her in the first place? Did he want, finally, his own heirs, at the age of 53? Did he think that Charlene becoming part of the Grimaldi family would make a Grace Kelly effect on the Principality? Was he convinced by someone else that it would be a good decision for his image and Monaco's? What do you think?
It's hard to tell what is going on Albert's head. After so much years of dragging her everywhere, now that they are married, she appears sporadically in some events...wait a minute, so far, her events where La Turbie, with children, a Fashion Show in Paris and now the Humanitary Group, again ...with children.
Is he realizing that she doesn't fit the role? Is she the boss and goes to whatever event she wants? What's happening?
Maybe after a little bit more time (she is so friggin' slow!) she'll have more events?

(new board member, delurking) I voted for combination, I think Albert really did think it was about time to start a family and people convinced him to marry Charlene, rather than risk him changing his mind again, or looking for a more maternal partner who might come between him and his hangers-on.

i think he married her because she's greedy and accomodating. he can do anything he wants and as long as she gets the money honey, she doesn't care.

(new member, 2nd post, delurking) please excuse me possibly sounding naive... I voted for someone convinced him to do it - marry her in order to start a family, that she was one of the few options left. I also can see, after watching Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel's wedding and reception, that he also might have hoped that she would be as glowing and happy with him as HRH Victoria obviously was with Daniel and a wedding would make that happen for Charlene as well as a prestige boost for Monaco

Yep, i remember we've disccused that Victoria's marriage might have been the reason, or one of the reasons.

IMO he is an idiot. If he married her for any other reason then wanting to, then that is the only explanation. YOu do not wait all these years to be persuaded, because you suddenly think you need kids (which he already has and just needs to spend time with) or because the woman let's you do what you want as long as you foot the bills. He could have done that staying single and saved the money or spend it on some hot prostitutes or other willing females. Would have saved him about 70 million and thensome for the divorce. You have to be a complete and utter idiot to marry a morron like trashy who needs to get a complete surgical makeover to even pass as a woman, but then look all stitched up. Sorry, but no man with a healthy brain and personality would do that. IMO Albert is an idiot and needs to be locked in the psychiatric ward for some treatment of his personality issues before being allowed to rule anything. I wouldn't allow him to look after a dog, let alone a country.

He's an idiot. A moron. A fool. A dope. Stupid. Weak brained. Characterless. Spiritually vapid. Easily led and manipulated. Emotionally immature. And psychologically impaired and in great need of professional help.

OUCH!!!
There should be something positive about this guy. Let's think ....
He is good in ... hummmm ... sports!! He has a beautiful family (parents, sisters, niece, nephews) , a plastic surgery barbie doll, I mean wife . What else? Hmmmmm, does he love animals? :-) So, maybe he loves animals. C'mon! There is more than that in Albert!! He is after all the "king" in Monaco, with a bunch of kids, so his "thing" worked hahahaha
And he is a great source of jokes and opinions!!! So, not just a moron, but a Royal moron!
For Halloween, I will wear a Charlene's mask and big shoulders :-) You see, she is an inspiration for some of us little people!!! hahahaha

Wearing a Charlene mask and shoulder pads would be an ideal Halloween costume!

He had sent a diplomatic envoy to Bhutan to ask Jetsun Pema if she would marry him and become Princess of Monaco rather than Queen of Bhutan.
She rebuked him and made it known that she would never leave Bhutan and marry the King.
Albert Grimaldi Prince of Monaco drowned himself in sorrow and not knowing what else to do he officialized his marriage with Charlene and married her.
;D

I think the pressure was on him to get married purely from a royal protocol perspective and initially she probably seemed a good enough 'candidate' for the position of Royal wife. He was probably expecting to continue with his other life, while having the quite grateful public wife as a smokescreen for his wild ways.
When it all backfired those last few weeks, I would say he went ahead with the wedding rather than face the embarassment of cancelling the wedding, little did he realise how it would all blow up in his face.
They both deserve each other !

IMO on some level he's played the game long enough to know what he's doing; Charlene, only desiring the title and lifestyle, simply refused to actually to do the job of Princess-ing. If she'd played her part, this train-wreck would have been less dramatic.
They're both playing Tug-of-War; each for their own ends.

First I thought they loved eachother. Then I thought, she wanted something you can only dream with - like a Disney story come true. Him? He just needed a wife to have legitime kids. After I started reading this blog, I realized there is sooo much dirt going around, what's real?
So, at this point, I think they got married because they are just tooo dumb, both of them.
He didn't have to get married, his dad left everything covered. In her case, she should have stayed her lover and be happier. She could have married someone else, and stayed his lover. Perfectly OK for her standards. I think .....
