I cannot post much but I want to say obviously SOMETHING REALLY AWFUL happened between Albert and Charlene that she was booted from the Olympics! SOMETHING REALLY AWFUL!
Seriously, Charlene has attended every event with Albert at the 2008 and 2010 Olympics and was attending every event with Albert at her debut 2006 Olympics until Albert was coerced into shipping her back to South Africa because she was making a complete ass of herself and thus Albert and Monaco.
SOMETHING REALLY AWFUL happened between Albert and Charlene! He was MISERABLE at the Red Cross gala with his con artist wife. Look how UTTERLY HAPPY Albert is DROOLING over Kate! Charlene and Lynette are shittin bricks yall!

Of course there are photos of Albert smiling and even laughing, but Albert is used to masquerading his real feelings in public. That's why I am surprised that he looks so visibly miserable in so many of the photos with Charlene. He was smiling at the public event he attended on the day that Lacoste made the public announcement acknowledging Jazmin, but we all know he was really miserable that day.

I am really serious when I say that I am surprised how miserable Albert looks - regardless of what Bunte and Charlene's entire person al PR flunklie team wants us to believe. this man is MISERABLE. But look how happy Charlene is to drag him on the floor and perform her "we are so in happy and in love" act for the cameras. Charlene is practically dragging Albert to the dance floor - but look at his face. Good lawd, that dress is so FUGLY - which is a perfect match for Charlene's FUGLY nasty looking figure and FUGLY face. I don't know which is worse - the back or the front. Regardless, both sides show what a horrible figure this woman has. This gown looks like someone just took some material, cut out a piece enough for a skirt and sewed up the edges. But i am sure all of Charlene's flunkies who got ready with her worshiped her and told her how STUNNING she looked - like they always do!

As long as the family keeps up the pretense that they get on with trashy, he will be able to tell himself that everything is fine. When the trio no longer comes regularly, caro is no longer present and Steph has pratically vanished in spite of living in MC, it will become a lot more obvious what is happening to MC and Albert due to trashy and her lot. I don't think that I have ever seen Albert this bad looking. I have seen him tired, sick, but I don't think I have eer seen him this wasted. He is trying to play the game of the happy husband, but when you really look at him, you can tell that he is anything but happy. OMG! I still cannot get over how miserable Albert looks! This man is miserable - but just look at Charlene - she could care less. Charlene is in cloud nine that Caroline and her crew weren't there. This woman doesn't give a damn about Monaco - she only cares about the media attention - only on her. But guess what you silly woman, the media attention only on you is the doom of Monaco. Albert knows this. Also, the attendance was down considerably this year, They are reporting 850 (much less than the usual 1000). But, I believe if they are reporting 850 then the true numbers are lower. Good lawd Albert, you really f*cked up Monaco with your trashy bride and her trashy family. But hey, at least Charlene, her family and the other free loaders she brought to moanoc to live off your money are happy. I still cannot get over how manly Charlene looks and how horrible that dress is. Look at Albert's face as Charlene man handles him with those huge paws. Look how Charlene is clutching Albert for the cameras - THIS IS MY SUCKER MEAL TICKET! But notice how Albert's fist are closed (his fists were closed in the photo at the Olympics where she is clutching him for the cameras also).Charlene sitting next to Irish billionaire Michael Smurfit. Notice how Albert can never sit Charlene across from him as it is customary for formal events like these (or even at another table). First and most important, Charlene wants the clutching photo opps next to Albert and second, she can only deal with having to hold a conversation with just one other person.

This was in 2008. I believe this attendance coordinated with his sucking up to Albert to allow him to film in Monaco the special he did about living in the Riviera and Monaco. recall, the statement he made about the orgasms may be fake but the jewels are real - something to that effect.

thx for the karma, but really I only mentioned it because I have noticed over the years that those sillies always react the same way on our boards when we hit a sore spot. And what they really hate is to be seen as what they truly are: a bunch of parasite losers, who have had the luck of falling upon an idiot who buys all their crap and gives them what they were never able to achieve on their own. ANd they really fear that one day he will find out that they have planned this for many, many years. And not because they liked him or monaco, but only because he was the only one stupid enough to fall for this kind of ploy. They only knew that as long as Rainier was alive their access was limited. But every predator knows that you need to wait and observe every move of what you want to hunt down. ANd the better you observe, the more likely you are successful as you start being able to predict the next few moves and thus get ahead... I totally agree with everything! Charlene revealed her golddigging plans in her Tatler interview - Albert just didn't get it. Charlene has been following Albert since her first date with him - waiting for the perfect opportunity. Rainier's death was the perfect window of opportunity and Albert for her to create her "training for the Beijing Olympics" career. Albert's visit to South Africa to open the consulate in December of that year of his death was another perfect opportunity! Actually, Charlene's family started following Albert over the Internet in 2004 when Charlene was one of Albert's yacht girls at the Athens Olympics. Charlene bragged about still going to Athens even if she didn't make the Swim team - but at that time people didn't realize that she was hinting she was going to be Albert's guest. Her family really thought she nailed Albert then, many of them joined royal message boards at that time. One cousin, Benoni Nadine used her real name (the cousins are easily spotted they are always trashing Caroline to defend Charlene because clearly Caroline unlike her sucker brother spotted these con artists a mile away). These con artists have been working this fool for years! No one cares enough to protect Albert because they are busy themselves riding the gravy train and benefiting from his weakness. This lackluster ball is just another one of the MANY indicators that all the glorifying predictions that Charlene's sycophantic press and flunkies told him will happen if he married Charlene was a BIG FAT LIE! Charlene has not brought glamour to Monaco - she brought tacky trashy ridicule! As London's Financial Times stated - Monaco is now vulgarity masquerading as class. However, Charlene has truly struck gold because Albert is not willing to admit so soon that he made a colossal mistake and more importantly he is not willing to admit that he wasted over $75 million on this colossal piece of tackiness. Albert really f*cked up Monaco by marrying this man in a dress!Con artists always manage to isolate their victims - Charlene is a con artist. She and her family have been chirping over the Internet for years that Caroline should let Charlene have the limelight and she and her children should stop attending the ball. The narcissist Charlene wants the limelight all to herself because she really believes that all the expensive clothes, jewelry, make-up artists, hair stylists, clothes stylists, plastic surgeries and of course flunkies that Albert's money has afforded her makes her GLAMOROUS! Charlene is pretty please with herself tonight because she truly believes that she and now her family can carry Monaco in the glamour factor without the help of Caroline and her children. Again, Albert really f*cked up Monaco by marrying this man in a dress!

Paca, I moved your post in this thread because it is so much more appropriate when you look at the pitiful showing at this ball. When I saw these photos, starting with the horrible tacky table decorations, all I could I could say is - Albert has f*cked up Monaco! Seriously, Albert has truly f*cked up Moanco with the Charlenification of his country! This is such a horrible tacky presentation of the country that Rainier left him. This is such an embarrassing display of the glamour and prestige that Monaco was. Albert, there was a reason that your father was so hard on you with the women you selected to bring to Monaco. He didn't want trash representing his country because he KNEW if Albert married a trashy woman then his country would be defined in the trash's image. Albert has brought trash to Monaco and now has defined Monaco's in its image. The Red Cross Ball is gone forever. The photographers clearly felt the lack of glamour and lustre there. This is the least amount of any photos that I have seen on the opening night of thx for the karma, but really I only mentioned it because I have noticed over the years that those sillies always react the same way on our boards when we hit a sore spot. And what they really hate is to be seen as what they truly are: a bunch of parasite losers, who have had the luck of falling upon an idiot who buys all their crap and gives them what they were never able to achieve on their own. ANd they really fear that one day he will find out that they have planned this for many, many years. And not because they liked him or monaco, but only because he was the only one stupid enough to fall for this kind of ploy. They only knew that as long as Rainier was alive their access was limited. But every predator knows that you need to wait and observe every move of what you want to hunt down. ANd the better you observe, the more likely you are successful as you start being able to predict the next few moves and thus get ahead... Too bad that once Albert finds out, if he finds out, he probably feel too hurt and too embarrassed to do anything much about it. Nor will he learn from it, but fall for the very next one. He has not learned from Tamara, nor Nicole. He has been making the same mistakes over and over again....and there is no one around to protect him. I am pretty sure that a lot of press will be asking about the sisters not being at the red cross and Albert cutting a pretty isolated figure these days. But what he doesn't realize is that narcissist always manage to isolate their victims. ANd they don't even notice it much. Until they are so isolated that they believe that the narcissist who did this to them is actually the only person they have and thus even when they are unhappy, to stay with that person. I wouldn't be surprised if Caro would move, once ANdrea and Tatiana are married and have a kid, to NY to be close to them with Alex. Alex is at the college these days and she will soon be doing the things young people do. The trio was able to live their youth without much public interference. I think she would want that for Alex too and it won't be possible in MC. So I wouldn't be at all surprised if the purpose of Caros trip to NY is also to prepare a move to the US... I think that NY society would gladly embrace her...

There was talk of that Olympic training idea in Monaco years back but it never materialized that I recall. No the only thing that ever came out of it other then the sport clinic. There were quite a lot of people willing to play along with him. Just not enough to invest money in it. Well now Albert found the perfect guise to raise money for it - the Princess Charlene Foundation. Wait and watch - they will pull out old and sick Mandela and Bishop Tutu for their photos opps under the pretense of raising money to support impoverished children (of course A & C will donate to these two foundations for their participation in their photos opps). Of course they will throw crumbs at these children, but they will only be props for their ultimate goal of training Olympic athletes. To legitimize their guise, expect to see some famous black athletes on the board of the Princess Charlene Foundation - they know they can always find someone who is washed up and desperate for attention and a little money to be their props of helping all the needy and distressed children and women in "all five continents." I'm still waiting for the day when someone explains to his dumb chick that there are SEVEN continents. But hey, she was smart enough to con the jackass of Monaco - which clearly doesn't take much smart to con him. Can you imagine how those with a brain make out over Albert. Good lawd, Rainier must be doing somersaults in his grave!

lavetta, MyAdia had asked you earlier not to add polls for every single event because it takes to much space on the thread. If you are fan of polls there is a special section where you can create them. Thanks. RP, Lavetta created this poll before I made my announcement. Again, I don't mind polls ( I actually like them) but they should be more informative and substantive in the info that you are seeking (more substantive than just asking who will be there and allowing up to 5 votes per poster). Opining about who will be there can be posted inside the thread, especially since the attendees have only slightly deviated over the years among the same core people. My biggest problem with polls such as these in high photo threads like the major galas, Grand Prix and Olympics is that long polls such as this one takes up lots of space and is at the top of each page of the thread.

I read some of the comments stating that this was the best Charlene has ever performed in an interview - but did you actually listen (or read) what he actual;l;y said. I read the transcript and all she says is a bunch of lies. She continues with the "been involved in Special Olympics all my life" lie. Ok, Charls, Albert already bought you that spot on the Board of Directors and the World Ambassador gig - just stop with that lie ok. Some of us read your previous Sports Illustrated 2001 interview where you stated you had time for nothing else but swimming and how you were a very selfish person. But, hey as long as no one ever ask you any specifics of what you did for Special Olympics (besides having two friends who had disabilities) or ask you what exactly and with whom did you teach all those underprivileged children to swim (besides twice with the SA Swim Team over a decade ok and once for the cameras with Bunte when suckering Jackass for the ring) - then I guess your lies will become fact. Below is the official CNN transcript - I placed the separations between questions. I included the introductory segment that included a preview of all three o the segments presented that night. Albert and Charlene were the 2nd of 3 segments.
SHOW: PIERS MORGAN TONIGHT 9:00 PM EST CNN July 31, 2012 Tuesday
HIGHLIGHT: Companies such as Panasonic say the Olympics are the perfect investment for their brand and image. Michael Phelps won his 19th Olympic gold medal amidst Chinese swimmer controversy. Exclusive tour aboard the British Navy's largest warship on watch for terror. Prince Albert and Princess Charlene reminiscing about their Olympic years, on Nelson Mandela and the global status of America. MORGAN: Next, my candid interview with Monaco's royal couple. From their Olympic past to their new life together.
MORGAN: Prince William and his bride Catherine aren't the only royal couple in London for the Olympics. So are Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco. Married for a year, they have a lot to say about living in the palace and in the public eye. I sat down with them for a surprisingly candid interview.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
MORGAN: Your Royal Highnesses. Welcome. Thank you for joining me. We're here in London for the Olympics. And here is a fascinating fact that many of my viewers may not be aware of. You have both competed at the Olympic games. H.S.H. PRINCE ALBERT II: Yes. It was great to -- well, it was a wonderful moment for me and I think for Charlene, too, but it was great that the sport brought us together because --
MORGAN: You were in five games. In the Monaco bobsleigh team. Bobsled as they say in America. But you and I would say bobsleigh. And you were -- you were the pilot. You were the guy at the front in a four-man bobsled. I watched this. It looks absolutely terrifying to me. Is it as terrifying to do it? H.S.H. PRINCE ALBERT II: Well, you know, I've often said that anyone who's done bobsleigh, especially as a driver, if they weren't scared once during their career, they weren't real bobsledders. So you learn to overcome those fear and you learn to work with the track and your jobs is to beat that track and to make sure your sleigh gets down safely. And the crew is down safely in a fast time.
MORGAN: Prince Charlene, you are an Olympic swimmer. H.S.H. PRINCESS CHARLENE, PRINCESS OF MONACO: Was. (LAUGHTER)
MORGAN: Yes. But I mean, you always are, once you? Once you've competed in the Olympics. PRINCESS CHARLENE: Yes. Yes.
MORGAN: For the rest of your life, you can say, "I was an Olympic swimmer." PRINCE ALBERT II: Once an Olympian, always an Olympian.
MORGAN: Yes, I think that was they all say, isn't it? Tell me about your swimming career. PRINCESS CHARLENE: Well, I started swimming when I was 8 years old. I competed for Zimbabwe. And at the age of 12 I moved to South Africa and I'm competing for South Africa when I was 16 and I had a dream to go to the Olympics when I was 8 years old. My mom was a diver and I think I drew a lot of inspiration from her and I managed to get to the Olympic Games.
MORGAN: You have two horses in the race for the Olympics. You have, obviously, the Monaco contestants. How many -- there are six I heard? PRINCE ALBERT II: We have six athletes. And --
MORGAN: Six athletes. And obviously, a number of South Africans competing. You'll be supporting both I presume. South Africa is an extraordinary country. I went to Johannesburg just before the soccer world cup and I've had the great honor of interviewing Nelson Mandela before that a few years ago. Incredible changes in your country. What would you feel about South Africa today? PRINCESS CHARLENE: I'm always optimistic about South Africa. I think South Africans are great people. It's a beautiful country. And a lot of talented athletes and people. So yes, I -- optimistic about South Africa.
MORGAN: And you must have met Nelson Mandela, I guess so? A remarkable man. PRINCE ALBERT II: Yes, in fact, I met him, and the first time, we were a small group of IOC members going to check on the Cape Town bid for the Olympics. And he received us in his office. And Victoria. It was just an incredible meeting. Could sense the incredible personality and the -- the essence of what he was all about. And that he was --
MORGAN: I loved his humor, too. A funny man as well. PRINCE ALBERT II: Absolutely. PRINCESS CHARLENE: He was a very simple man. Very smart in the way he united a country through a simple game of sport. He -- you know, South Africa was never the same after the '95 World Cup Rugby. And, you know, he's an enthusiastic sports person. Was a sports person himself. And, you know, I just think -- PRINCE ALBERT II: And it was in Monaco that he got the Laureate in Sports award that he -- wonderful speech that he made that evening, but then you said that sport has the power to unite the world. And that's exactly what -- what we are trying to do in the International Olympic Committee. But in -- support organizations all over the world. But he was the first one to really coin that phrase.
MORGAN: Yes, he was. What about President Obama? He's coming near the end of his first term. He's obviously battling for re-election in November. You've met him. What do you think of him? PRINCE ALBERT II: Yes, I met him at the United Nations a couple of years ago. And was really struck by his personality and very engaging person. I met Michelle Obama also. I think he's -- considering the circumstances and the overall world economic slowdown that he's managed pretty remarkably well.
MORGAN: What do you think of America as a country today? Because they're struggling a little bit I think with their identity. No longer the only super power. What do you think? PRINCE ALBERT II: Well, I think America -- we still look up to America in many ways. And in many areas. But of course the world is -- the world is changing. The world is -- there are other powers that are coming into -- into their own of course. We think of China at the forefront of that. But there's not only China. There are other countries in Asia or in different parts of the world that are developing at a very rapid pace. And so America still has a lot of work to do to be competitive, to assert its place and to find its dominant position in the world. I think it's an incredible country, you know, a wonderful country.
MORGAN: Let's come back. I want to talk about your mother, Princess Grace. Obviously, for an American audience, they still hold your mother in the deepest of affections. I'd like to discuss it with you. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) GRACE KELLY, PRINCESS OF MONACO: On marrying his heinous, I will become Monocan. But I will also retain my American citizenship. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Does that go for your children too? KELLY: I don't know about that as yet. (END VIDEO CLIP)
MORGAN: Prince Albert, that was your mother, Princess Grace, talking before she got marry to your father, Prince Rainier. When she was talking there about having children, it was interesting that already she was having to think about American citizenship and so on and so on. Your mother was an extraordinary woman, a fabulously talented actress. And she became this impossibly glamorous princess. And the whole world fell in love with her. Her life was cruelly ended so young at 52. What do you think she would have made of the way that you have conducted yourself since you had to take over the reins of the palace? PRINCE ALBERT II: First of all, I can't believe it's already 30 years since her passing. I still think of her every day. And I hope that she would be proud of me and proud of what I tried to achieve in the last 30 years.
MORGAN: You were 24 when she died. PRINCE ALBERT II: Yes.
MORGAN: I would imagine the memories of that awful day are very acute for you. PRINCE ALBERT II: Yes.
MORGAN: But for those who didn't know your mother, how would you describe her? PRINCE ALBERT II: She was the most warm, gracious, engaging person. Of course, very -- very close to all of us, an incredible mother. But just an incredibly generous person in heart and spirit. And she touched the lives of so many people in so many different ways all over the world.
MORGAN: Do you have any American citizenship because of your mother? PRINCE ALBERT II: I never actually had a passport, but I had a paper in my passport that said when I was to travel to the United States, I shouldn't be considered as a foreign citizen. So it was that kind of dual -- unofficial dual citizenship that I had for years. And then I gave it up when I became 21, which was then the legal age in Monaco. But I've never felt foreign -- never felt as a foreign land to me. I've always felt very -- not only proud of my American heritage, not only very -- very close to it, but I spent a lot of time over there.
MORGAN: You have just celebrated your first anniversary with two great royal weddings. For the people of Monaco, this was the big one. How's it going, Princess Charlene? PRINCESS CHARLENE, PRINCESS OF MONACO: Very well, thank you.
MORGAN: Life is good as Princess Charlene? PRINCESS CHARLENE: Busy. A lot more busier. Yeah, it's going great.
MORGAN: When you come into it, as indeed Princess Grace had to do, what is the culture shock? What is the reality of entering a royal family? PRINCESS GRACE: Well, from what I've experienced, it's very busy, a lot of responsibilities. And yeah it -- PRINCE ALBERT II: A lot of engagements. PRINCESS CHARLENE: Yeah, a lot of engagements, a lot of functions.
MORGAN: What's the best bit? PRINCESS CHARLENE: The best bit? MORGAN: Other than being married to this charming, handsome prince? PRINCESS CHARLENE: I get to wear a tiara now and then. MORGAN: Every woman wants to wear a tiara. Doesn't they? I bet they're dazzling tiaras, aren't they, in Monaco? PRINCESS CHARLENE: Also, I think it's quite special that little girls say, where's your tiara? You're a real princess? Yes, I am.
MORGAN: Did you ever dream of that when you were a little girl yourself? did you ever think, one day I want to be a princess, marry a handsome prince? PRINCESS CHARLENE: I wanted to be Zoro.
MORGAN: You've had a hard time from the press, as I would have expected, because it's such a huge high-profile thing to be marrying Prince Albert. All the expectation of people in Monaco and around the world and so on. You've taken some legal action on some of these reports. They had you dashing to the airport before the wedding, that kind of thick thing. Briefly tell me about that. PRINCE ALBERT II: I think it was only because we wanted the truth to be known and to come out. And so that's why we felt compelled to take action against -- I guess against that magazine, but I think it was extremely unfair, extremely unprofessional of those people and others who repeated that story.
MORGAN: And hurtful to you, Princess Charlene. No bride wants to read all this nonsense. PRINCESS CHARLENE: I actually had no idea. I was in Paris the day before. I'd taken my mom shopping to get her some shoes and bags and whatever the case. I got back to the palace. Albert came down and said, there's a rumor out that you've left. I said, what? What do you mean I've left? Yeah, it's all out. When did this happen? Like not even an hour ago. I was, like, wow. Well, it's not true, is it?
MORGAN: There is an upside. And you're with your handsome prince. Tell me about the Princess Grace Foundation. PRINCE ALBERT II: Well, the Princess Grace Foundation has been established since my mother's passing, because she wanted to establish the foundation in the U.S. There's one in Monaco that has slightly different aims. She wanted to help young artists, young emerging artists in theater, dance and film. And she was never able to do that. So we just carried on her mission and her vision, and tried to make it happen. And it's been now almost 30 years. And it's doing remarkably well. We've distributed tens of millions of dollars in scholarships, apprenticeships and fellowships to these young American artists. And we will have our next awards going, fund-raiser in New York City on October 22nd.
MORGAN: Princess Charlene, tell me about the Special Olympics. Obviously a cause dear to your heart. Why is that? PRINCESS CHARLENE: Well, training in South Africa, I was, you know often training alongside athletes that had disabilities and, you know, they also tried to get to their meets, to reach their goals in life, very little support. So I said to them, if I was in a position some day, I would definitely give back and help in any way I could -- possibly can. And so I thought, well, I've always been involved in Special Olympics and the Paraolympics. In the meantime, I also started a foundation. You know, drawing inspiration from the Princess Grace Foundation, her passions were to obviously help struggling artists. I hope to do the same with some athletes and the support development programs and mentoring programs in the future.
MORGAN: Good for you. See, she's turning into quite the princess, isn't she? It's been a real pleasure to talk to you both. Thank you for sharing the time. Enjoy the Olympics. Enjoy London and Britain. I know that you've been a longtime supporter of this country. I thank you for that. Thank you both for joining me. PRINCE ALBERT II: Thank you.

Two surprising things, a copy of the CBS News interview that I linked to is still there ( see it here - also this person has a copy of a drunken Lynette bragging about how she is sharing the gold that her daughter struck by hitching up with the biggest sucker in Monaco) and Charlene's most rabid personal PR flunkie has stopped foaming at the mouth about the CBS interview and has not said anything about the CNN interview. Perhaps Charlene told her to lay low because she was being too obvious. She revealed a lot of inside information about the filming of the interview that was not evident from just watching it. Actually, I am thinking they know no one cares about the interview during the Olympics so they will wait until after the Olympics and start promoting how great Charlene was in the interview.

well, that is catering to Albert. He has been dreaming and talking about that for many years. That was the motivation behind building the sports clinic which now is in dire straights. Albert always wanted to have high profile athletes flock to MC and train there. It's his greatest dream. He has been discussing that with his friends long before trashy came into the picture. Alberts dream is that there will be one day an Olympic medal for MC. I am surprised he hasn't recruited athletes from other countries by offering them citizenship and heaps of money.... Correct. One of the first interviews I read of Albert was with him discussing his plans for an Olympic Athletic training center. He always wanted this and there is nothing wrong with such a goal - just make it happen. However, don't set up a bogus foundation under the guise of helping impoverished children and women in distress when you really want to train Olympians! Albert already "bought" one such athlete for Monaco. It was a bobsleigh - he helped Monaco win it's first European medal. There was some talk about it being unfair and Albert paying the guy to compete for Monaco. The guy is black, but I forget his nationality - I believe Canadian. I saved the article somewhere, I'll search for it perhaps later.

I will post this photo and the announcement here since the South African swimmers were sponsored by the Princess Charlene Foundation. IT seems that Tommy Hilfiger is one of the sponsor as donating clothes to the South African swimmers (I wonder if the Monaco athletes got designer clothes), so perhaps he is on the board of directors for her foundation. The French version of the announcement was posted on July 21st while the English version was posted on July 23, 2012.
July 23, 2012 Lunch with the South African swimmers H.S.H. Princess Charlène wished to have lunch with the South African swimmers selected for the London Olympics before they leave the Principality.
Mr Hilfiger, who assiduously keeps track of these top-level athletes' results and provided the sports clothes for their stay, also participated in this moment of conviviality at Stars'N'Bars.
After their arrival on 8 July, they were invited by the Princess to train in Monaco and take advantage of optimum conditions before their participation in the competition.

Only in Monaco can you create a charitable foundation and have people donate money while not announcing a mission statement, a board of directors, a president, a staff, a logo nor any other defining feature or ANYTHING about the organization that will give confidence to its donors that the proceeds will be designated to the cause intended. Well, Charlene has been spinning her Princess Charlene Foundation as an organization to help "children and women in distress," when in reality the foundation has a totally different purpose. According to a report by David Isaacson of South Africa's Sunday Times, her foundation is building a high-performance sports centre to provide needy nations with the chance to develop their talent. Of course Charlene will throw some crumbs at some poor black African children and travel around the world taking photos with them (this is how she will get donors), but the bulk of the money will go to HER FRIENDS! Charlene has not announced anything about the governing body and function of the Princess Charlene Foundation, but she has already given out money - to her friends. I actually think it is a notable for someone from Charlene's background to want to help needy athletes - but then STATE that this as the mission of your foundation and let people donate accordingly. But, this is not the cause that Charlene and the palace has publicly stated as the purpose of the Princess Charlene foundation. Here's the palace December 2011 announcement about the Princes Charlene Foundation: Motivated from a very early age by a desire to help others, further reinforced by Her experience in South Africa, the Princess has chosen to orient Her efforts towards children and women in distress.
Her actions will be undertaken in the long term to satisfy specific needs on all five continents. Here's a comment from Charlene in her interview with Malte Biss about the purpose of her foundation: The newly established "Princess Charlene Foundation", which was presented on Friday in Monaco and the Duchess in "A Heart for Children" gala will be presented, "it makes itself the task of carrying sport, especially children and women a sense of responsibility, team spirit teach and discipline them for life and make them strong, "she says. Below is a lighthearted story about the South African swimmers stay in Monaco. However, the article mentions a fact about the purpose of Charlene's foundation that perhaps her donors don't know.
Topless temptation in Monaco
By DAVID ISAACSON of the Sunday Times (South Africa) July 29, 2012 Sunday
SOUTH African Olympic medal hopeful Chad le Clos considered stripping down to get the chance to drive a Mercedes convertible in Monaco this week.
The female owner of the car offered to let Le Clos and fellow swim-team member Leith Shankland drive it - on condition they washed the vehicle wearing only skimpy Speedos. Le Clos has already had the chance to drive an Aston Martin here and was seriously considering the proposition.
But life in this Cote d'Azur playground is not all plain sailing, as freestyle swimmer Wendy Trott found out after falling victim to an aerial mugger.
She had a sandwich plucked from her hands by a seagull while taking in the sights of Monte Carlo. "It was a very big seagull and clearly very experienced at what it was doing," said Trott.
The SA swimmers, who flew into London last Sunday, were in camp here as guests of the Princess Charlene Foundation, which is building a high-performance sports centre. The centre will, among other things, provide needy nations with the chance to develop their talent. The Princess of Monaco herself represented SA in swimming in the 2000 Olympics.

‘Neverland’ bash enlivens Olympics July 29, 2012
Warner Music owner Len Blavatnik hosted a bash at the Tate Modern in London to celebrate the Olympics’ opening Friday. Guests — including Prince Albert of Monaco, Lyor Cohen and Tory Burch, Lloyd Blankfein, boxer Wladimir Klitschko and Mark Ronson — attended a dinner and performance by players in the upcoming UK musical “Finding Neverland,” inspired by the 2004 film starring Johnny Depp as the creator of the character Peter Pan. Seven hundred people packed the museum for an after-party. Julian Ovenden and Rosalie Craig are starring in “Finding Neverland,” which begins performances in September, in Leicester, before a move to London’s West End. Katherine Jenkins and Paolo Nutini also performed at the music mogul’s Tate bash. Danny Boyle’s Olympic opening the same night also had a tribute to J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, read by “Harry Potter” creator JK Rowling.

Nothing spells femininity like an Adam's apple. How many women have adam's apples? I'm telling you Albert will be waiting for eternity to have baby Olympians come forth from that manly body. It ain't happening dude - ain't happening! Seriously, Charlene's masculine features are juts too obvious and numerous too ignore and they are probably indicative of internal intersex issues. Here's is another photo of her in the stands - she stands and even walks like a man.

Poor Bunte, they are trying soooooooo hard to make Charlene and this laughing stock marriage a love story. Too bad they have no idea just how ridiculous they come across to their readers. Looks like Point de Vue is writing about a real love story - here's their this week cover Kate and William - the Golden Couple of the Olympics

Notice how Albert and Charlene always act like they are the only ones in the entire stadium who cares any thing about swimming. There are family members of competing athletes (like the Le Clos family) who have more of a personal vested interest in the matches - yet none of them act like these two clowns. Recall Debbie Phelps and her daughter' behavior in Beijing - did you see them act like Charlene? Of course not. But lucky for Charlene her fans express her sweetness, genuineness and caring by how wildly she acts. Begging for a caption
