From the Sugah board ... they are truly dillusional!
"Caroline and Charlène seemed to love each others in this photo. I remember seeing a pic of the two in Paris Match in June-July when Caroline looked like she kindly complimented Charlène on her earrings in a very maternal way."

If your sister in law is maternal, what does that make your hubby? Sugar daddy? Even the sugaries can't run from the obvious.

The entire evening sounds like a good idea poorly executed. I can't believe Caroline let this happen. She was playing in the nightclubs at 17. Many of the swinging Londoners were also swinging in Monte Carlo at that time. Did she forget? So Lagerfeld dressed both Caroline and Charlotte. They should have been in Pucci prints. That's the first thing I thought of was the wild paisleys and swirl prints. The whole event was so "understated" that it missed the point of swinging. Were there any press comments on Pete Doughty? It looks to me like there were absolutely NO celebs or people of interest there. They supposedly had 1,000 guests. Really? There certainly weren't any young people there so I wonder what the older ones thought of ole Pete? What a disaster!

Maybe the swinging part took place after the ball? Why doesn't Charlotte wear Gucci? She's their new poster girl and imo it's odd to wear something by a rival. Or is this a new variation on the do as I say, not as I do? ETA: Public is ravingly enthousiastic: Charlene Wittstock and Prince Albert of Monaco: King and Queen of the Ball! This year in Monaco, the prestigious Rose Ball was held under the theme of "Swinging London". And as always in the principality, they have not done things by half and the ceremony was simply sumptuous. While many personalities made the trip, those we found in the center of attention are of course honeymooners Albert and Charlene! The last time we had seen it was the Oscars, where they caused a sensation. But this is nothing compared to their participation in the Rose Ball. Lovers are more complicit than ever and their happiness is good to see! They have not departed from the tradition to take a ride on the dance floor and they seem perfectly honed to exercise. Albert and Charlene, a royal couple who really knows how to party! ABB (Still honeymooners???) And Pure People isn't any less raving: translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.purepeople.com%2Farticle%2Fbal-de-la-rose-2012-charlene-et-caroline-en-mode-60-s-swinguent-a-l-anglaise_a98064%2F1&act=url

Welll, I doubt the number of 1000. They hardly made 800 these past years and this year they seemed to have attracted less people then in previous years. In order to get to that number they would have to go down with prices or eventually manage to attract people who draw the rich gawkers/wannabes. They did not attract anyone that anyone wants to brag about knowing. MC balls used to be international, attracting the in people of the time. Now it is a local affair for people who have to be there. Notice that there are no pics of the crowd. The most awkward pic is the one of Charlotte and friends on the dancefloor. They look as if the were lined up there. And it is not the crowd that CHarlotte is usually seen with, but also local friends like Maillots daughter. This is like looking in your local paper and seeing pics of the village ball. Only the outfits are more expensive, though none of them look it. The best looking people were the girls from the dance academy.

They changed the protocol, didn't they? TWo ladies will comes first then the ruler..... Yes, and next year Caroline will enter first without Charlene, and behind her Albert and the Trio . I so hope you are right!! LOL

I think Caro plays it smart with her sons. They are not at the ball. Nobody forgot the driving and bar fight... Instead she gives Pete Doherty… more extreme. And the successful daughter runs into an obedient Chanel dress on the side of Albert. Smart move! Genius indeed!

I think Lagerfeld's dress for Charlotte is like a pee-a-boo of a short skirt and hip top, but formalized by adding the sheer extensions. When you look at the core of it, she's wearing a mini. I like it. Albert is actually more radiant walking next to her. Of course, she's too smart not to feel a little used for PR and doesn't look particularly thrilled but she's being the good niece IMO. As always, I'm positively and thoroughly biased

Thanks refia for the photos. I wonder, are there any photos of Albert actually looking at Charlene? In most of the ones I have seen she's either clinging to his arm or hamming for the cameras, while he seems to be looking elsewhere. JMO.

I suppose the Arabic prince is the future owner of MC. The way they are surrounding him, it looks as if they are his guests....

Why Caroline is sitting in another table? In the pic with Russo, we can see Albert and Charlene in the other table. Was this always like this or what happened?

Hey everyone thanks for the pix! Pretty dull stuff - the dress is not special. Lacks the line up of guests I think there has already been a mass exodus out of the place. Any news on the musical guest?
I think too the entrance was odd...

Someone just pointed out to me that the sleazy brother is not there with his girlfriend. Also there are no photos of the parents attending either. Wonder where the brother is these days?
