Her dress looks like drapery. Her smile looks a bit crooked in all the pictures today. I'd love to see more of Caroline's dress for the opera.
Someone pointed out to me that Charlene's dress earlier today with the zipper in the front is more for a sporting event than a National Day event. They also pointed out that the color is a sporting color, not one for a National Day.

Do they sign the National Anthem? Whatever they are signing, Charlene is not singing along with them....

Someone pointed out to me that Charlene's dress earlier today with the zipper in the front is more for a sporting event than a National Day event. They also pointed out that the color is a sporting color, not one for a National Day. I thought the same thing about the zipper, Hibou, that it made the outfit too casual for what the event was and who she is supposed to be. Also, I thought that it was mandatory that she wear a hat at the church, considering that she is supposed to be a member in good standing and she is the Prince's wife. I understand the complaints about last year's hat - it was way too ostentatious for a church service, but now no hat? Couldn't she figure out something in between? MyaDia (we miss you ) always labeled Charlene as 'dumb as a rock' and though I agreed, I always thought 'but how did she snag Albert?' Well, I have now decided that I fully agree with MyaDia, this woman is super stupid. And that doesn't say much for Albert making her his wife: is he that stupid also or does he truly care so little for Monaco and his responsibilities that after he dragged this piece of excrement home on his shoe, he thought he would make a grand statement by making her princess? Charlene has made zero if not negative, efforts to learn her duties. They said that she wanted the job, but I don't think that she understood that it was a job. Evidently, Charlene just thought she would get a prepaid AMEX card and get to put Princess before her name. Nothing else was required of her. Her 'performance' indicates that she has made no efforts to learn what is required of her. Or - more likely - is unable to understand how she is to act and what her duties entail. The handing of candy with two hands! Where did that come from? It is clear that her upbringing leaves much to be desired. Most people by the time they are her age, have performed volunteer work for charities and are fairly relaxed doing it. They understand what their mission is and why they are there. Charlene looked like 'okay, now I give this to this child?' As if she is clueless as to the purpose of the charity! Also, referring to that photo taken of Charlene and the children on the pier. Please! When you see Crown Princesses visiting children, it is usually in an atmosphere so that the Princess can converse with the children, actually interact with the children. It is clear that those photos were purely a photo-op and that Charlene spent little time talking to the children. They just ran them out on the pier, took some photos, and then left. It is hard to believe that Charlene would perform her princess duties this poorly, but she has. (Hence, the 'dumb as a rock' moniker.) Maybe Albert told her she would get the Order of St. Charles after she earns it. In that case, I would scratch that off the list, Charlene is clueless as to what is required of someone in her position. Also, what's with the bloated face two days ago, and then how she looked on the 19th? This is just weird! And as for the loony flunkies - get off the LSD and stop the hallucinations. This girl does NOT speak fluent French! That is one of the main problems of why she is unable to interact naturally with people: she doesn't speak their language. She is NOT beloved by the Monegasques. They are trying to figure out why they got the booby prize. Also, not everyone in the world is chattering about this boob. I read the Charlize Theron interview in Vogue this month. Both women (?) are from Benoni and have made international news, a rare thing for such a small town in country distant from Europe and America. Yet, and I understand that the article was about Charlize, the reporter didn't mention Princess Charlene in any way. Though I wouldn't have wanted to read it, I would not have been surprised if he made a passing comment about the new princess, IF it was true that the world was totally enamored with her. Sorry for long post; had a lot to say.

Did anyone else notice that Caroline wore a hat to the mass that Charlotte had worn a few years back? It really seemed to make her look younger. Also, to the opera, I think that she had on that the big red rock ring that Ernst gave to her.

I noticed in the Opera photos when the family, and everyone else was singing the National Anthem, Charlene didn't open her mouth. Does she not even know the National Anthem!!! Dear God - even if she can't sing a note and is totally tone deaf she could mouth the words so she looks like she knows the words. This tells me she doesn't even know, nor has she apparently bothered to try to learn a simple song. One the means soooo much to her new country and her husband! It's unimaginable. This whole thing is simply unimaginable. There has to be something more to this 'show" than any of us know. HAS TO BE! Albert is spoiled and lazy, and he's no rocket scientist, but I've had many conversations with him about all sorts of things and he's just NOT THIS dumb - Something else is going on here.

There has to be something more behind. And i would love to know what is. I'm not convinced by the majority's explantion "he wanted to marry because he wanted to have a legit heir" that's BS. There's something behind.

it appears in that pic as if they allowed the crowd a lot closer then in previous years. Usually a large part is cut off for the military part. So either this pic is taken afterwards and they opened for people to be able to move in or they kept things smaller for the military part. Anyone seen a pic of the full place? IMO the most crowded I have seen the place was in 2000. After that number were dwindling, especially when Rainer was not there.

Monegasques sucking up to Charlene: The lady at 2:05 is particulary liking her ass, i think. crowd is not really that big. there is a huge gap in the back during the military part and the crowd they keep showing is afterwards, when they open and people can get close. If you had a pic of the entire place you could see that really there aren't that many people there.

I also noticed that she still has a horrible gait, which makes her come off very ordinary in those clothes. Especially when getting out of church and getting into the car.Also why does she cross herself when she greets Barsi? She is supposed to kiss his ring, not cross herself. Goes to show that to her it is all for show and not because she is catholic. Hence her behaviour in church, which really is out of place for a solemn mass. Woman just has no clue. Bubbles could have made a better job of it...

Do they sign the National Anthem? Whatever they are signing, Charlene is not singing along with them.... yes it is the anthem. After all it is national holiday. The hymn is sung in Monegasque and since trashy does speak neither Monegasque nor French nor does she make any attemt to learn, obviously she is making a statement here that she does not intend to be part of this nation. She just wants their money and the people to admire her for not doing anything. I don't think that Mary or Maxima would have been caught at that. Especially Maxima seems to be really into it. Nothing like a real woman with brains.

She is just a con-artist trying to play "i'm sweet and innocent" First pic of the Opera: RACOOOOOOOOON; She stole another curtain and the blob needs a new tailor.

No order, no medals, no sashes, no tiara, no pregnant, no nothing! Boo hoo... ;D the best thing in this pic? Caroline in the back. She looks stunning. trashy seems to be wearing another version of her Brit wedding dress. At least the top part seems to have been taken of that one. It appears to be a one shoulder thing with one large chunk draped around the other. No idea what that is supposed to be about as it has to be very unpractical and only useful to stand around and pose, but not move in it.

we knew way ahead that she was going to wear Akris. The designer gave an interview on the subject way ahead. Just like with the wedding. Trashy has to make sure that everyone knows what she is wearing so they can look up the price tags. Typical social climber. wouldn't be happy if people didn't know the brand or the price. That's what these people live for. Extremely low class, but unfortunately the kind of people attracted to MC and living there.
