Well, apart from her trashy mom and her own slutty pics, so far she seems to be fairly decent. MAybe with a decent partner that might be an option; doing another Charlotte and skipping from Albert straight to the grandkid.

Still catching up with wedding articles. Here's an interview that Giorgio Armani did with Vogue UK. Armnai's OVER THE TOP praise of Charlene is why I say that Albert was suckered into believing that marrying Charlene was going to be an economical and image boost for Monaco. Albert had some of the top designers in the world telling him what a great appeal Charlene. It's not difficult to understand why Albert thought that Charlene was "all that and then some." But, clearly Albert should have realized that these are PAID SYCOPHANTS. Oh, perhaps someone should clue Lauren of Vogue in that Charlene's wedding dressed was not the second most talked about in the world: Reality check - NO ONE CARED ABOUT THIS GIRL'S DRESS THEN AND NO ONE CARES ABOUT HER NOW.
Wedding Exclusiveby LAUREN MILLIGAN 04 July 2011
GIORGIO ARMANI created the dress for the second-most-talked-about royal wedding of the year this weekend in Monaco, as Charlene Wittstock, former Olympic swimmer, became Her Serene Highness Princess Charlene of Monaco. Here, Giorgio Armani writes exclusively for VOGUE.COM about the creation - and gives advice to brides-to-be on choosing their dress.
"I first met Charlene in the autumn of 2006, and I was immediately struck by her beauty and her elegance - made more appealing by her innate kindness. The first time she wore my dresses was at the Beijing Olympics in the summer of 2008. Since then, we have struck up a close bond of friendship and understanding, based on mutual respect.
"Charlene is without a shadow of a doubt very beautiful. Tall and slim, she is sporty and at the same time has a natural elegance about her. Dressing her is such a pleasure - she knows how to wear my creations with the nonchalance and confidence of youth. I believe Charlene has the ideal figure to show off great dresses, because they highlight the fine curves and beautiful structure of her back and shoulders."
"The idea was to go for a completely modern look, without an obvious sense of nostalgia or revivalism. I felt this was appropriate given that there would inevitably be comparisons with Princess Grace, and though such comparisons are of course a sign of admiration, each person has their own individual and unique style, and style is an expression of the times."
"Personally speaking, if the dress is low-cut I'd suggest rounding it off with a veil for the religious ceremony. I like the idea of a long dress in shaded white, perhaps with a train, but only if the time of day and the venue warrant it. And then I'd suggest trying on the dress as many times as you need to be sure it feels right, so that when it's time to wear it you can just put it on confidently and forget about it and then focus totally on the ceremony."
The dress took 2,500 hours to create, including 700 hours for the embroidery alone, and featured 40,000 Swarovski crystals, 20,000 mother of pearl teardrops and 30,000 stones in gold shades. The dress was made up of 50 metres of duchesse silk, and 80 metres of silk organza - and even the veil was a work of art, encompassing 20 metres of silk tulle taking 100 hours to embroider.

Here are some of Armani's sketches of his dresses that Charlene herself stated that her wedding dress will be historic. Any guesses on how much money Albert paid for Charlene's wedding dress, her civil dress in addition to her two tiaras and necklace? In total, how much did he spend just to dress this gold digger that made him and Monaco a laughing stock of the world?

Notice how Armnai anglicizes Charlene in his depiction of her. He just needed to place a halo over her to finish the blow snow job that he and others did on Albert by transforming this narcisstic goldigger who came to Monaco with some tacky bags of tacky and trashy clothes into trying to pass her off as some naturally elegant goddess - the new Savior of Monaco Here's the real Charlene without her halo that Albert's paid sycophantic placed over her.

Did anyone notice the wedding sketches have her wearing a tiara? Wonder what happened. That isn't the wave tiara creation or the headband. She thought she was getting Grace's tiara!

Oh, perhaps someone should clue Lauren of Vogue in that Charlene's wedding dressed was not the second most talked about in the world: Reality check - NO ONE CARED ABOUT THIS GIRL'S DRESS THEN AND NO ONE CARES ABOUT HER NOW.That's right! He does hear people who are paid sycophants all the time that just want his business, in some ways I think he knows that sometimes people are just trying to be polite, and I think at least sometimes he really does have it in him to listen to his own mind though about how much Charlene has "it," after all Grace was his mother and Caroline and her daughter are no slouches, and his nephews girlfriends are known for their style, whether you like Tatiana's bohemian look or not, she makes the pages and she has her own AUTHENTIC style. I think even Albert knows down deep that even with all the resources in the world afforded to Charlene, and in spite of her statuesque height Charlene is not able to hit it out of the ballpark like she should be doing! But it's the girl...and you can't fake that!As far as Charlene's wedding dress, I thought Armani did a good job with what he had to work with. I don't think the sleeve would have been....or lack of it would have been appropriate inside a church for her, but he did a good job of minimizing her broad shoulder span that would make some male body builders jealous. Charlene doesn't have a feminine body (which is not her fault), and her weird boob job doesn't help (which is her fault). Charlene doesn't have a waste... ;D Ii mean waist, (she's got plenty of waste ) ) and I think she would have looked silly with her body frame in something a more petite woman could get away with,, like Grace's dress. The drawing of her dress is nice, but I think while Charlene's dress looked fine, it was not something that was going to make her look that special, which is Charlene's own job, but I do think Armani probably did the best anyone could have I guess, considering how he probably had to work around Charlene's own strong opinions (my big fat Gypsy wedding)--like you said myadia Karl gave up? I thought while Armani's post sounded like he was trying to flatter her, I think that last sentence there...in I think the first quote, is also kind of telling! They don't seem too friendly with each other now (an understanding...mutual respect?). I don't see Roberta floating around her anymore, and with her new title you would think Armani and Roberta would want to flaunt the new princess they had been dressing all these years. I think like everyone, Charlene and her arrogance burned that bridge that she thought she didn't need any more. I think something happened between them when he was already in the middle of making her dress--they should have listened to us....we warned them....she dropped the other designers who helped her out a long the way--she even kind of made fun of the first one that was nice enough to help her out and loan her the green mermaid dress...that was sweet of her! Anyway to me it is that last sentence that says we are respectful of each other or something like it that has a message in it. I think that remark is telling the real story--Armani sounds like he is basically saying that they are civil to each other--not so warm....What else can he say about her at this time, since he designed her wedding dress? Anyway as far as her wedding dress goes it was only going to be as special as the woman wearing it! And Albert still does not understand that idea--beauty comes from the inside, and that is Charlene's problem....and now Albert's! Whomever it was that drew the little black ruffle straps on Charlene's little black strapless dress did a good job of following Armani's concept here. Charlene looked pretty enough as far as how she was dressed on that day, but it seemed her attitude on that day was what overshadowed it and stole the show! What is that saying, "Pretty is what pretty does!" Emmeline those were the things that stood out to me too..oh pleeese! AdminNote: Reduced length of quoted text

Oh Myadia, I meant to add that it looks like Lauren is trying to suck up more to Armani, than Charlene perhaps? ;-}

Sandsla, I reduced the length of your quoted text because it is really not necessary to repeat the entire Vogue article with photos to make your point. When you quote a really long post, your post is not as substantial when someone has to scroll down to long quote from a post that they have already read just above. I don't understand why you are continuing to re-include the article.

I told you there was a lot of waste in her! ;D Typo, but so appropriate.[td][/td] Can you imagine another princess or anyone saying their wedding dress was going to be historic...no, this girl does not think much of herself. I hope Albet is paying attention--she desperately wants to be a big part of Monaco's history...I think the monaquasque people are going to really appreciate that.

I probably just did it again I have had a giant migrain today, so I think I've probably been preety sloppy--I'll try to be more careful.

At first, I thought I was losing my mind after the article kept re-appearing. I know it is easier for many posters just to quote the text that they want to comment on, but if the quoted text is really long and the comment is short - the comment really does get lost among the quoted text. Also, the thread is harder to read when there is a lot of repeats of the same long string of photos or a long article - just to make a small comment. I don't mind it when posters repeat a photo when they are making a specific comment of the photo which makes it easier for others to refer to. I also don't mind editing posts because I know it can be confusing trying to reduce a quote.

Well of course? ;D Good catch-Is she wearing Grace's wedding ring too! I swear I think she thought she could get Albert to give it to her, and he probably would have if it were not for Caroline...thank god! I wonder if Charlene realized that besides her wedding ring, Diana had to hand back all those tiaras and jewels that were not from her own family when she got divorced. Charlene and pals keep saying they think Grace's jewels should be a part of the state--which means they would never belong to her anyway. If Charlene gets divorced, I should say when--who are we kidding here....will Charlene have to give back her tiaras as jewels as the princess of Monaco? What is she going to do with them after anyway, wear them at breakfast when she is eating her Captain Crunch cereal? ;D

I totally get it and I completely agree with you myadia, and as I had suspected, I actually had included the pictures of Charlene's wedding dress AGAIN, so I went back and edited them out--no one wants to have to scroll through all that--it is very confusing if there is no point! I am toatlly avoiding what I need to be doing today...What I REALLY NEED to be doing--these forums are so bad! ;-) I hope you guys aren't sick to death of me--I'm boring myself! Ha! I'll go away now.
