trashy had another photo op with kids and animals in the museum. hair looks a mess. she's only there for the pic. Not for the turtles not for the kids or the museum; All that counts for her is the camera that shows her "hard at work" for MC www.monacomatin.mc/node/852928A non-speaking engagement for Trampolina? Why??? Her new hair style looked horrible blowing around in what appeared to be a wind tunnel. Who is reponsible for staging these events? And, finally, she has two new tiaras and we've only seen her wear one at her wedding reception. Once again, Why???

sounds like he is as dimwitted a twat as his cousin. Living of his wifes money...no wonder he likes and supports trashy....makes me wonder if the Levine marriage is kept as a facade and both are going their seperate ways. IMO Assbert only has limited interest in his American family. I suppose mainly as facilitators to US society circles and fun providers. HOw little he really cares was to be seen when his cousins son came with his choir to MC.... I do think he's closer to Chris than to his other Kelly cousins. Perhaps they have more in common than meets the eye? I wouldn't be surprised if we can explain away Vicki's appearance by saying that she was probably in Europe for some other reason and wanted to see a good tennis match. I think, at one point, one of her daughter's was pursuing a modeling career in Europe. Hibou ... any thoughts? I think Grace wanted to be sure Albert kept some of the "Kelly" and so I think he is closer to Chris perhaps than even his sisters. As for Vicky, I once overheard some Philly Mainline gossip that the McNeil's had hoped one of their daughters might have dated Albert but apparently he wasn't interested in either. Chris may be the closest they got to the crown so to speak. Odd since that family has more money than Albert collectively speaking so it may have just been nasty gossip. JMO

Is she the woman sitting next to chris? Yes, in fact, she looks almost just like Chris. She's a very Preppy American type -- actually, showing her age a bit more than is probably necessary. She needs a good moisturizer . Perhaps Trampolina can make some recommendations! To me there are two types of mainline women these days, the plastic kind like Charlene and the old mainliners who askew the fillers and fixers, and the moisturizers too. Vicky falls into the second category, but she could at least get a facial once in a while and may be a little laser work. She looks pretty good to me otherwise.

Albert finally got the kind of man he always wanted to date; tall, blond and handsome (typical Scandinavian male)...with broad shoulders and masculine, still with some boyish qualities and twenty years his junior...perfect!!! ;D ;D ;D LOL Oh you are sooo naughty ;D

It's the most body I've ever seen it have.

Don't like the hair still.

JMO when you have money, the next thing you want is a title. To some, becoming a member of nobility is nother step up on the social ladder. I suppose to some Americans being Mayflower AND member of a ruling nobel family is the top of what can be achieved. So to say you have made it in the old and new world. It's the ultimate knighting. There is always someone with more money around the corner, but there is nothing like social rank. Even if it means you are related to a moron.

That's why the English started selling their titles and homes to Americans. The Kennedy family, when Joe K. was Ambassador to the Court of St. James, married off his daughter to a "title". Sadly it ended in a plane crash with no heirs. Then there is the Vanderbilt family marrying a title and the mistress to Edward VIII before Wallis got him. Given that Pa Kelly always felt snubbed, Grace gaining the title silenced all that. JMO.

Yes, Vicki is old school Chestnut Hill (she went to Springside) ... needs moisturizer and regular facial treatments.

Chris LeVine married into huge money. I mean huge. I can't imagine he would jeopardize his marriage in any way for his cousin Albert. Victoria McNeil (as in McNeil Pharma. ie Tylenol) is a no nonsense type of person heavily involved in many charities mostly art related. I just have to wonder what she thinks of all this mess. JMO. men have been known to do worse. Especially at a certain age. Not saying he is having a go at trashy. But he is an awful lot in MC. without wife and family. I don't even remember seeing the wife at the wedding. Only the kids. Doesn't he work anymore to be travelling this much to mc and even go to OZ with trashy? I find this all rather strange. LeVine seems to be the only one of the US family who attended the wedding and the only one to be around there very often. Especially in recent years. I don't think he was there that often while Rainier was still around. Nor were the others. When Rainier was around, he had his own choice of friends and guests to invite to official events. Several Kelly cousins gave TV interviews (on the Larry King Show) after Rainier passed and had very nice things to say about their uncle Rainier. They spoke about their many and frequent visits to the palace. It might be that they were not invited to galas and official events such as the grand prix or the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters, but were invited to many private family gatherings. (that is what the Kelly cousins said in their interview.) Now Albert is inviting Kelly relatives to public official events because he can and he wants to. Prior to Albert’s marriage Andrea, Pierre and Charlotte were quite active in Monaco and present at official events but not so much in the past few months. Perhaps there is more of a change going on in Monaco that meets the eye. Caroline seems to be gracefully bowing out…….hmmmm

Well, it would have been odd of them to talk badly about their uncle when interviewed due to his death. Who would do that? IMO Rainier kept family private. His strategy was to keep peoples focus on his immediate family and MC. Monegasques were not attached to their princes before Rainier. He was the one to change it. Exposing his immediate family was a political and strategic move. There was no need to involve other family. That also went for ANtoinettes family. Besides there was to much of a risk for competition. ALso I suppose that there were before and after Grace relations to the US family. Also Rainier needed them mainly to work society for him in the US. I think that there was always someone of the US family at the Grace awards. Caros kids not showing as often goes to the same thing. If ALbert intends to have his own heir, then he can't have his people focus too much on his sisters family and taking the limelight. What they are doing now is to try and attach people to trashy and a possible heir. Since no one in MC really believes that the relation will last, they can't tolerate too much distraction. Caro is not bowing out gracefully, she is made to bow out without causing unwanted press about trashy and her not getting on. She still does her job and trashy has not taken over anything from Caro or even Antoinette. After all she could have taken on the dogshow. Instead she is leaving it to assberts cousin.I do think it is in better hands there as she knows what she is doing and actually does work, but still trashy could have taken it on as well, seeing that she is not particularly busy. But then again, it is a local event and not generating much press. So why would she get involved. Then again in a few years Elisabeth-Ann might have transformed this into a society event and then trashy might regret it

Do you guys think that the appeareance of certain family members at the next "big" event, MC Grand Prix would that be, could give us a clue about what's happening behind closed doors? Rose Ball this year was odd, with Albert, Trashy, Caro and Charlotte. What about GP? What if the boys don't go, again? I don't think they have missed that particular event in any year. Plus, i think they like car races.

I don't think it is an indicator if they show at GP or not. Caro has missed a few and so have they. In her wild days Steph did attend and even dated racers, nowadays she doesn't go near it. NH is an indicator.

Does Elizaberh-Ann take on many public engagements by herself? I would have thought that Stephanie or Caroline would have officiated at the dog show. Then again, Charlene would have been the first obvoius choice.

I heard from a friend that it's being reported in a Greek newspaper that Caroline and Charlene do not get along, and Caroline has no intention of bowing out to Charlene. They want her gone. Of course this is just gossip but the timing of it is interesting. It might explain why Charlene is now showing up at things around Monaco even if they are little events. To me it looks like Caroline has given up absolutely nothing which is why they are making up events like the turtle exhibit for Charlene to attend. Might also explain Chris LeVine's presence too?

Then again, Charlene would have been the first obvoius choice. she appeared often with her mom and since Caro moved back to MC more and more with her. SHe organizes the tennis, takesover the dogshow from her mom. I believe she also took over her part in the monegasque exam and the music academy. So she does have a few rather significant occupations, especially with the tennis. IMO what she does actually generates more press then what any of the others do, including Assbert. She generates no scandal press, but makes sure that MC is in the media for over a week every day. It is also a significant economic event. One of the big ones apart from the GP. And she does do charity events as a side of the tournament. Plusshe does is discretely. During the little games I saw her with Melanie every day in the tennisclub. She was permanently present, always there in case needed or a VIP arrived to be greated. She is very reliable. Plus she has always lived in MC and knows everyone. She is probably the one who works the most for MC without being seen doing it.

Caroline is currently in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence not Monaco. She may be settling into royal semi-retirement. I expect that she will continue to attend many official events but the majority will be attended by Charlene. The presence of Mr and Mrs Chris Levine sitting behind Albert and Charlene does seem to encourage acceptance of Monaco's new princess.

If it wasn't in the paper, people wouldn't notice that it happened.
