Pretoria, Why don't you isolate one or two good frames of the video and put them on line - Even YOU TUBE - so everyone knows you're for real. You'd get a lot of word of mouth promo, and show that you mean business. Imagine this video out there on You Tube! It will up your asking price. Actually, you might make more money for yourself if you put the entire video on You Tube - you'll become more famous than you ever imagined and that will bring you in even more money and opportunities over a longer period of time. Just a thought. cm7007: genius!!!

Exactly, axelle - in our/ the real world. In her little world plastic surgery and fashion and her pics in glossy magazines are more important. And we have to admit - she got the prize ring, money and title- being permanently late, permanently lying and without learning the local language(s). Nonetheless she doesn't come any further as to the point she is now: a girl without high school degree, without profession in a loveless pro forma marriage and in a role she couldn't and can't and will never perform good - it's catch 22 Even Lenin knew: learn, learn and never stop learning and developing yourself...

"Now we wait — we wait to see Charlene in action," said Guy Patrick, who sells souvenirs near the royal palace, a medieval fortress where members of the ruling Grimaldi family have lived since the 15th century. "You see, Charlene is like a new gift. We have to open the box, and see what's inside the box." After they see Charlene in action, after they have looked inside the box, they will find that there is nothing there. Contrary to what Monegasques were told, this is not a gift to them, but a major gift to Charlene and the Wittstock family. Charlene has shown clearly what she thinks of the Monegasques, she hasn't even learned their language. How much more of a disrespect to you have to have to see there is nothing in the box. Then, the Monegasques will find that the store has a NO RETURN policy. And they cannot even re-gift it to someone else. Sooo right and well said...

MyAdia my memory for details is not as good as yours ... but I'm famous for keeping in mind details for years which happen to gain importance years after they happened. Well ... CW being late for her own interview in S.A. was easy to remember - I'm German and not showing up in time in business context is a no go!

Well said margarita! ‘a ridiculous guy’ This has got much news in the Belgian media after the fake-event. The “enfant terrible” Prince Laurent of BRF is no longer accepted by its father after his visit to Congo (this had not been approved by the parliament). Funny that he got an invitation for the fake-event together with the entire BRF. Was the Monaco palace sleeping or does the PR team read no newspapers?Last week the media says ‘Prince Laurent threatens its staff’. Prince Laurent pays its - foreign - house staff no extra money. And who protests, he says will not stay in his country. His idea is: ‘with Filipino's we can do what we want' www.humo.be/tws/deze-week/22763/prins-laurent-bedreigt-zijn-huispersoneel-en-betaalt-geen-overuren.htmlWhat inspired Albert to invite this crazy person… What inspired Albert to hire (and not fire -yet ) the staff and adivsors he has?? No head of state can control everything as can no minister. But usually people get fired when doing major mistakes that get a minister/ Head of State in trouble... Monaco is a paradise for elsewhere unemployable people who stick around Albert...

GI would like reply and set the record straight, regarding the word KING used in the article!! Casting doubt on my knowledge of the Monaco'n Principality. This seasoned reporter happens to be a presenter on this gossip programme where I broke the news! 2 Days latter he called me and wanted to run with the story. When he reallized I was not partting with the footage!! He reallised his front page scoop was gone!!! He wrote this article to discredit me. With a fatal mistake!! He used the word KING!!! On which I confronted him on the very same show on 18-07-11 on which he replied too as printing error!!! Surely you would correct this before placing it on the www? Regarding the footage-it will be sold to the highest bidder. Kind Regards WOW! Thanks for posting this! (and welcome on RO!)

Sandsla wrote "After awhile Albert in the end might turn into more of a tyrant like his dad than he ever imagined, after he too becomes afraid to trust anyone because of the type of people he has invited into his life--Albert has no filter for these people."
I agree there is no filter for the wrong people. The point is: The people around Albert ARE A FILTER ... for everyone else.
July 11th, 2011 - AFTER the wedding disaster - when honest advice was needed more than ever - Georges Lisimachio (The Head of Cabinet) wrote to someone who offered Albert pure honesty AND a plan on how to revitalize Monaco (in practice - not in glossy magazines):
"H.S.H. thanks you very much for your letter dated March 14th, 2011. Unfortunately, His Serene Highness is not able to give a positive answer to your request."
I doubt Albert ever received that letter and was given the chance to read it.
The failure of the recent pr-measures (read: PR-wedding) was predicted in that letter to Albert written IN MARCH. Must be nice to read for his inner circle - AFTER the disaster has set it full power and more than we ever imagined ;D.
But do you think the people who created this disaster - with Alberts permission - want let anyone close to him who tells him what total idiots they are?
There is almost no way to get through this filter.

A stupid question: Is the Exhibition part of the museum or do you need an extra ticket to see it?

Maybe Zuma wanted to give a lesson to Charlene how nice it feels when you have to wait for someone 2 damnd hours?!
Wasn't it in February in S.A. where she was reported to have been late for 2 (!) hours for an radio interview?
(And it is not 'only' the interviewer who has a problem then but the whole program of the day must be re-organized, so many people involved...)

That's the question!! The PR-team decided about the STRATEGY of Monaco while PR is a measure on the tactic level. It is all upside down! But who wonders if Stahl (in charge for PR) is called Albert's 'political advisor' She totally screw it!!!!!!!! Everything. Wonder what will happen to Stahl and her Frankenbarbie now. There must be people who are upset. In Monaco.

"There is nothing genuine and sincere about them or about Monaco right now and this whole relationship only serves the purpose to confirm that Monaco can't be trusted--the opposite message they needed to send out!"
Sandsla - 1001 % agree!!!

Charlene's family has been coming here for years.How many years did Charlene got the money from her sugardaddy? She got the money what she was gold digging from her sugardaddy in Monaco. Only logic solution - her Daddy had to borrow a Mercedes to see her in February when she was in S.A. for Midmare swim. So her familiy couldn't afford this.

What an insightful post sansia and margarita! Yes, rejection from your loved ones is much harsher than those who mean nothing to you, all those lackeys and pimps ( that is the official name in Monaco for some of his acquaintances ) probably means nothing to him, he can dispose of them any time... As for Rainier, he was a chubby catholic boy in a protestant english boarding school at that time, you can imagine the bullying he went through, probably wanted Albert to be tough too... " The Grimaldis employed an English nanny, Kathleen Wanstall (said to be a cousin of Winston Churchill), who resolutely refused to speak, or even listen to, a word of French. De Polignac, who had retained rights over Rainier's education, insisted on his going to an English prep school, Summer Fields, at St Leonards, where he was known as "Fat Boy Monaco". www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/royalty-obituaries/1487262/Prince-Rainier-III-of-Monaco.htmlAnyway, Margarita is right, for the sake of Albert and Monaco, he should try to sort himself out, call it shrink or monastery as he seems to be self destructive and nothing much can come out of any outside help, in other words, he is not going to listen to any sensitive advise such as all offered in this forum! Thanks for the quotation from the book about Rainier! That's interesting... ... Rainier went through a little hell too. (Which actually was rather a big hell for little Rainier...) My observation so far: people react in two extremely different ways when they are faced with mobbing and rejection: In Germany we say very often: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I know it from my family...* It's very Prussian/ Protestant/ I don't know what... This approach matches to people like Rainier. They grow stronger confronted with difficulties. The other type are people who become more and more insecure and weak under the same circumstances... Albert seems to belong in that group. That doesn't mean he IS weak by nature - he could be strong. Just the circumstances at an early stage of life didn't match his nature... Now he is old enough to realize this, forgive ... and change the pattern, giving his life a different turn. I don't think Rainier hated Albert or was aware of what he did to him. I even tend to say he loved him (his way) and wanted him to grow strong, because he was concerned about his son and Monaco, knowing how hard the rock can be... My guess is - he wanted to do something good for Albert and raise him strong. That's why he did to him what made himself strong. But Albert has a totally different "soulset". Rainier couldn't know and hit him only stronger - poor Rainier must have been desperat. And Bettina - thanks for the info about the Nanny! Nannies play a VERY important role when it comes to pass culture - in terms of how to react, how to "fee"l the world and to think it ... on a very deep level. All the things one can hardly put in words but which determine the fate of a person sooo much. In Russian nobility kids used to be educated by teachers from England, Germany, France ... but the nanny used to be Russian, often not very educates in the way we define "education" but highly qualifies in "soft skills", sometimes almost wise. They tought the children not only russian language, but russian culture, a "soft" way to percept the world, russian orthodox values like forgiveness and patience (passive vs. active), being aware of emotions (vs. being hard= strong) ect. The effect was interesting: they "felt" Russian but "thought" western. If you ask me, children -especially of "higher" families (thinking of social skills and respect) - need a "russian" (or monegasque )nanny and lot of love Teachers and coaches will show them how to think and fight. But they need someone to show them how to feel, love and be loved, respect and be respected. (! and to pass the local language, traditions --- Princes loose contact with their subjects and the reality of the country they are supposed to rule otherwise. How can you rule what you don't know? How can you know what is good for your country when you don't "feel" it's nature - and barely know your own nature.)

That's hard stuff!!! www.sueddeutsche.de/D5938p/104705/Splitterwoche.html"Süddeutsche" is a daily German newspapers with a very good reputation. It titles SPLITTERWOCHEN - a wordplay with split up and honeymoon, one might translate "split-up moon". The article doesn't give any new facts, but combines the infos of the past weeks in a way that leads to the final sentence of the article: The wedding gown is now exhibited in the Oceonographic Museum about the history of the marriage: Yes, in a way it appears to us this marriage is already history.AND it titles, if Charlene wasn't lying when she said she is happy - this can be regarded as THE BIGGEST PR-DISASTER of royals in honeymoon EVER.It sais, that the strange behaviour during and after the wedding and in S.A. (loveless kisses, different hotels, different cars ect) MAKE SENSE in the context of the reported problems shortly before the wedding. Very strong statements in one of the most respected German newspapers! And THAT IS a PR-Disaster. ps: "Süddeutsche" is read by the kind of people that are important for Monaco - on many levels. All the others read BUNTE ;D HEY MONACO- DIDN'T YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR IMAGE ?

Thank you cm7007 for that info! OMG!!! Sarkozy upset and making fun even AT THE WEDDING - now offending granddaughter of an original member of the Bilderberg Group! And how much damage did she by offending people that will never come to our knowledge! FIRE STAHL FIRE STAHL FIRE STAHL !!!! ... her brainblond blowup doll Cashlene will go with her puppet master. Someone with a loooong work exerience in a Ministry of Foreign affairs, who sat at the same table with Kings and Queens, Heads of States, diplomates, met mother Teresa and knows so much about people and politics said BE ALWAYS KIND TO EVERYONE and treat everyone with respect chambermaid or VIP a) because every human being deserves respect and b) there might come a situation when even someone in a "low" position is the only person to help you out in a difficult situation - or makes life much easier - or won't do sabbotage to you ;D c) ... she didn't say this but THAT's the problem with Charlene: If you respect everyone and treat people with love and respect in generell ... you can't offend an important person by chance... But Charlene has no social skills - she is kind to people selectively and to workshy and unprofessional to do homeworks. That's what will be her downfall on the short run - not even middle or long. PLEASE let her fall fast and final - so that Monaco can recover... (And Stahl is an amateur either. Who would employ her now she screwed up Albert's and Monaco's situation, Hariri was forced to step down and shot . No wonder she tries to stay in Monaco. Like her unemployable "offspring" Charlene.)

Great post Sandsla And thanks for the info with Rainier throwing the racquet at him, Bettina! We puzzle here is my piece to the puzzle: Wondering if that might explain Alberts reaction on criticism: he experienced it only as destructiv critisism and not supportitive/ constructive advice carrying the message "I don't love you - you are worth nothing!" and not "I love you no matter how you perform - I tell you how you might perform better because I believe in you". There is something about dysfunctional families: people stick to the pattern they know and and are afraid of new experiences, such as "healthy relationships". I still say Albert should take a time off (HE-not Charlene who had 6 years time-off!) and go to a monastry for a while, healing his inner self, cleaning from the energy at him that attracts the wrong kind of people. Hear his own inner voice and recpect it - then he will be respected. I think he could do a great job if he did this! He is very sensitive and passive - so maybe he should focus on Eastern philosophy turn this into strengh. He is half American, but has no western/ masculin/ agressive soul. My Godmother uses to say, be cautious - but never be afraid of anything! Be brave! Because you attract what you fear.

Not to be mean but - IF she can even conceive - and that's an IF- and IF she can actually carry the child full term -lots of women can't - there is NO GUARANTEE the child will be born and remain healthy. Lots of children aren't. I'm certainly NOT hoping for something lie this to happen to a child - ever - BUT - haven't these dopes even considered the possibility? How sad would that be? Albert isn't a kid any more - and recent studies show older men HAVE A GREATER CHANCE OF PRODUCING DEFECTED SPERM - just because the kidds that are already here are fine and healthy - doesn't mean any new ones will be - as a matter of fact - the more kidds he has the greater the odds are one will be born with a problem. Then let's taking into account Charlene's DNA. God only knows what that is - and what if anything any steroid taking and snow sniffing - and cigarette smoking etc. has done to her. Not to mention stress! Plastic surgeries and medication for the above surgeries! Plus, she's in her 30's. She's not 22 any more. It's all very dicie if you ask me. How can ANY PERSON with ANY conscience even consider having a child under these circumstances! CM7007: 1000% agree. It's rediculous to even think under the given circumstances about children. PLUS a russian healer I know said that children are born as strong as the love of the parents is - it depends on the energy and chemistry between mother and father how the child will be - not only genes but LOVE, RESPECT. It would be sooooo egoistic if they would even try.
