Must admit, after looking at all the pictures of their drinking, I feel like a glass of Merlot! Wait, I don't drink :-( I am what's consider a cheap date. One glass, I am drunk, two glasses, I am sleeping :-) I guess I cannot be Al's wife :-) lol

Here's a video of Albert and Charlene at the market. Their segment is at time 1:03. Notice how contrary to what the photos depict, in the short segment Charlene doesn't really converse much with the people as Albert does. But, she is sloshing down more wines than we saw in the photos! Actually, look at time 1:56, she might be drinking water - no one would gulp down wine that fast in public. What do you think? Paca, they also pose by the playground you asked about.

MyAdia, I think she's guzzling down wine. You can see that she's holding the glass by the stem ... unless, it's a water goblet? I remain totally amazed by the wing span of her shoulders --- those things are lethal weapons!

She is gulping down white wine. The way she is drinking it she has to drink a lot and she most certainly doesn't taste much of it. She is drinking like the Brits do in a pub. Sorry if that sounds like a cliche, but I am sure that it was a pretty good wine she was offered. And no one with any culture, education, style whatever you want to call it, would gulp wine like that. You don't even gulp water like that, unless you just finished a run or some other sportive activity. But that is in no way a woman with manners would drink.

Honestly, I'm having a hard time believing it's wine. Who can drink a class of wine like that? (ok don't answer that one!). If it's not water, she downed it like someone doing shots of Tequila. Even if it is water you don't guzzle it down when you are attending an event. Poor Grace, who had such class and this one; the anti-Grace. JMO.

It's wine. Look at the colour. Besides, why would they serve water at a stand where thery sell wines and grappa. They are not forcing anyone, they are offering for tasting. So if you don't want anything, you just take a pass. Besides, we have seen the stills and that clearly shows that she at no point during her visit she had a glass of water in her hands. And from what I can see from the video, Albert did zip, but not drink as much as he was busy talking to people. But since trashy can't talk, she gulped. Maybe that's why he doesn't tag her along so much because she is drinking too much on these occasions....Just imagine what she must be like gulping down alcohol at lunchtime, with only nibbles to eat. We counted 5 glasses. And we saw how quickly she emptied them. Add to that some summerheat.....no wonder they were holding hands... IMO she has to be a pretty heavy drinker to be able to handle that amount and the way she drinks it.

It's wine. In this screen shoot you can see the open bottles. I know Charlene is a dumb-as-a-rock con artist, but she has been pretty clever with her public antics lately - playing the demure serene princess for the cameras. That's why I am surprised that she guzzled all that wine as she did. Here's a photos of the greetings - the bottle is fuller before they start drinking

Even better, I think this is the photo of them at the same booth and you can clearly see that she is drinking wine

he should really stop that eye winking. He constantly seems to be winking one of his eyes. At his age it gives him a dirty old man thing. Next thing you know he will pinch womens butts whilst passing.....

Next thing you know he will pinch womens butts whilst passing..... A few years ago at the TV festival or was it the music awards, he was caught pinching or grabbing a few butts. I forget who the singer was, but I do remember she was shocked.

Hibou!! Why would I want to be marry to him? Let's see, have a country supporting your entire family, in a very high and wonderful lifestyle . Have the husband sleeping in another hotel, so don't have to .... you know what . Have clubs of fans who adore me day and night . Go to trips to fabulous places on Earth and just work when I want . I guess there is something good about being married to him. The sad part is that, the country suffers while the family and me have THE life. I would have sold my soul and integrity.

Music awards & Kylie I think. And a few years later we got that memorable photograph of him staring down Rhianna's cleavage. ;D popdirt.com/kylie-minogue-says-prince-albert-groped-her-bottom/2908/Posted on our board to, but am too ill to find out how to post a link. The ex-es thread, second page. Of course Charlene is overdressed - Albert wears a suit (like most public men) to everything. Public men? Are they the same as public women or am I suffering from translation and cultural difficulties?

Not necessarily, Bobolin, you could sneak around and do good deeds like a good fairy. Nobody pays much attention to the princess so long as she delivers an heir. That gives loads of time to send your footservants to check in on the status of the needier and report back so you can find solutions. They key is humility, it passes under the radar and gets the job done. That way, nobody's feathers get ruffled and the person/family in need gets help. When I was richer, my ex had a habit of hoarding especially food and they were fantastic cuts of meat etc...but we never ate in. Well, do you think he ever noticed when I snuck some of it out and brought it to my struggling divorced mom friends? No! Plus, it made room for the next trip he took to Whole Foods. The man was compulsive! Everybody was happy. And clothes! He was a clothes horse and fashion victim. I by association had a higher turnover of it than necessary. Well, those too never went to waste. Those are just domestic examples of recycling. Imagine what you could do with a huge allowance!!!
