well, maybe she is an MC version of the proverbial Essex girl, shoewise. As to being nice, they gave her therapy at 300000 Euro per week for half a year, how much does a stylist cost to make her look good? That would make being nice much easier. Besides it would be a job for a dame of honour among others. ANd if they don't want to hire a professional, maybe have Caro take a look. I am sure she could be of great help, if she lets her. It is not rocket science. I think her haircut right now is good for her thin hair, now she needs to ditch that plaster make up, especially when it is a sportive event, and find a more suitable dress style. Tunic and jeans are fine, just not if they don't fit and the pattern doesn#t suit her. Obviously she is not a flower girl and with the haircut a modern pattern is a good choice. Given her size she can wear large patterns as well, but this one is not it. I also don't see why she pays a fortune for an illfitting brand tunic from akris when she can have one custom made for the same price or less.

Well, that blouse is too small for her artificial boobs and at least one of them seems out of whack or she is wearing an illfitting padded bra. Either way the blouse is too small around the chest and I dislike the pattern. Looks like a guy painting the stripes on pavements has gone wild on her outfit. Yeah and those shoes are horrific. She would have been better off in sandals, if she wants to air her toes. Albert is also getting a thumbs down. At his income he should be able to afford a suit that actually fits. He looks like he is going to explode out of his suit. The jacket is way too tight and so are his pants. Stuffing all of your pockets like a cangoroo with triplets is not helpful either. Especially if you add your large hands on top of everything else into the pockets. He needs to lose weight and stop wearing his dads old suits. Also it would look better if trousers and jacket are made from the same fabric. The way he is styling himself underlines his age and makes him look like a badly dressed grandfather. Also by the looks of things, again he is not paying much attention to her and how she is doing. She does seem to feel more comfortable though, but if I remember correctly F1 was always more up her alley. THen again F1 is very different from all other MC events. More like partying with hooligans. There is a reason, why everyone who doesn't make money with F1 leaves the country. I wonder if this year there will be as many prostitutes flown in as in previous years. Guess we won't be seeing many oligarch yachts this year...

that would be sad. But lets hope that Gabriella will never have to find out how her father would react if she was in need. I think it is important for a daughter to know that her father will always be in her corner, regardless of circumstances. Even if the father is no longer there, it gives strength to know that he would be battling at your side, if he could. With a grandfather father like ALbert who will be absent most of her life it is vital that she grows up with the knowledge that he is always in her corner. Obviously the same goes for Jacques, but I think it is more important for a girl to know that she can stay true to herself and he will always have her back. the security she will draw from that will give her courage throughout life.

personally I think her make up is too heavy, but she certainly looks better than a few months back. I read the interview in MC matin and tbh to me it sounds very much like same old same old and goes with their public behaviour. I do believe that she is still fragile, but given the way they publicly carry on, I fear a relapse. They seem to be using the kids as shields and props instead of addressing their ovious issues. MAybe she feels safer with the kids around, but it shouldn't be up to 7 year olds to support their adult mother and father. Albert should be giving her security and support, but that is not visible in public and since they are using the kids as shields, apparently it is not only optics, but her own feeling. If she could lean on Albert or would feel that she can, there would be outings as a couple and he would be more attentive to her and her bodylanguage would be revealing as well. There is only one point I can make in ALberts favour and that is that I was there when STeph collapsed in public at St devote and was later hospitalised and neither Albert nor her father showed any empathy for her. Quite the contrary. Only MMe Gallico eventually took care of her. Given how publicly Steph and ALbert have always gone on about their closeness etc, I found the incident quite to the contrary. It seemed to lay bare tensions within the family. And a helplessness to actually take proper care of a close one. Granted Rainier was there and he probably disliked her public display, which might have held ALbert back, but looking at the 2 men, I noticed that neither had any idea how to handle the situation and Rainier opted for completely ignoring his daughter and ALbert followed suit. ANd he seems to continue that way with his wife. I do think though that he would be more supportive of Gabriella in similar circumstances. But I do feel that Albert needs to seek help in how he can be more supportive in public. I think that would also help with the rumour mill. Maybe they should speak with her therapist about their public outings and how he can support her better and she communicate to him, when she needs his help and what exactly she needs. I think in time they could both relax and appear more at ease in public. It might also be helpful for her to have her own MMe Gallico at hand for support. Not a family member, but a professional who can step in when needed and quietly lead her asside without making a spectacle.

not sure if I posted it before, but when they announced Megxit, I was sure that it would end up this way. and what is worse is that they will eventually invade and sell their childrens privacy. Even Harry and will were protected against that. Instead of making things better for his kids he has achieved to make it worse. They are becoming a paupers version of the Kardashians and wont gather the audience. I still think that if they would have wanted privacy, they would have been best of to retire to some English estate and appear occasionally for events. But Meg didn'T want privacy, she wanted a high profile and all the perks of freebies etc to go with it. Her spending during her first year showed what she was about. ANd neither Charles nor Harry had the money to keep that up longterm. Harry would have been ruined within 5 years into the marriage and I am sure that CHarles hinted to him that he has to reign in her spending and that he wouldn't and couldn't up their allowance. Especially since Harry was down the list. ANd Charles surely didn't want another ANdrew and Fergie going on. I think that ultimately money was the root to megxit. And Harry will eventually find, that he hates his role in it. Personally I think that by the time their 10 year anniversary comes up, they will be either crawling back or be involved in a war of the roses about the kids and whatever is left of their money...

Yes it is and I don't see the point. it benefits no one and is costlier than a clean divorce. He could buy property in the kids name for her to live in and give her a few millions to live off. Obviously that won't keep her relations in bread and butter, but it would give her the freedom to live her life the way she wants. This deal keeps him in control of her life and it begs the question: what is there to hide? If they think she can't look after herself, there are other arrangements that can be made, but this is a scherade no one bought in from the start. And to keep her from blabbing is usually part of the deal, besides it would hurt her kids and I think even she gets that. That is why I don#t think she would do that. In that respect I don't think she would emulate Diana. Besides, even if she runs out of money over the years, ALbert would not leave her destitute as that would reflect badly on the family. They have always looked after their own. I get why Caro didn't get divorced as not only she gets to keep the poxy title, but I think she realized that her husband would never manage his alcoholism and as his wife and the mother of his daughter she can eventually make decisions for him medically and financially, whereas other family members would have to go to court. It is much easier for a wife, especially when she is supported by the sons. And Caro has maintained good relations with them. Unlike their father. But with CW I really do not see the point, especially since she is still fairly young.

so, another outing with the kids and the pics seem the same. ust differen clothes and her brother was there too. She seems to be hiding behind her kids and is IMO a bit ott with them. Jacques seems to feel crushed by her at some point. Gabriella doesn't mind. All in all, they all seem to have returned to their behaviour from before, I don't see any progress or a learning curve. If they continue like this, she will probably need to get back to therapy soon. I wish that Albert and her bro would show themselves more supportive of her. It shouldn't be only the kids that keep her going.

well, lets see if there is anything to come back to. Given all the antics, someone just might say no. I don't think that CHarles will be able to protect them and I don't think that will wants them back. Harry will only get worse as he ages, iike ANdrew. And should he divorce, he might end up putting more scandal on the BRF. I think with Andrew they already have enough of that and he will be around for some time. The public will not tolerate another entitled twat and an overspending wife. Not with what is going on right now and will go on for years to come. People already loathe them. And recently even the proper working couples like will and kate and sophie and edward have received backlash over their tours. Other royals do tours too, but they usually have a purpose attached and not like inspecting ones former property.... I think they will be having a hard time after QE2 and Harry can only make things worse. If they want to come back, they need to comeback while she is still around. People will more likely accept them for her sake. They won't be so kind to CHarles.

last july it was 10 years. Remember all those videos they posted? like a rerun of their pre and post wedding interview marathon.
as to BB, no empathy from my corner. At the time we considered him dumb and he has proven us right. They have been extremely lenient with him 20 years ago. He tried the same defense as an aging man. This time he got put away. IMO still pretty lenient when you consider he wanted to rid himself of 60 million debt in a year and then continue as usual after hiding his assets with family. I just wonder if he also owned the appartement in Beausoleil his babymama and daughter used for years. I doubt if that was listed. maybe not worth millions but surely a few hundredthousand....

and to some good news: they canceled Megs netflix show. If they have to give the money back, how will Harry pay for all those expensive clothes she keeps wearing and that don't fit her? that woman wants everything that is expensive and Harry has neither the funds nor the ability to pay for all she wants. So unless he sells more of his familys dirty laundry, he has nothing to get an income. And I am sure that meg is not happy about her project being cancelled. Firt people hate her book, now her show doesn't even get made, she is a bad actress that no one wants to hire, so what will she do? Apart from spending money, she has no real talent.

well, I guess by now the Verfassungsschutz has gotten bored of reading here thx to input about Ukraine, so we can get back on topic. There have been several pics of her recently and news. Apparently she has travelled to Switzerland and Corsica in recent weeks. I have read rumours of her wanting to install herself permanently in Corsica. Apparently with the kids, but we know that that will never happen. But for her it might be an option. SHe would be close enough to see the kids often and away from the MC gossip. As to the recent pics, well she certainly has regained her weight, which is good news and her haircut, though short, looks less rebellious and extreme. It somewhat suits her. I can't say the same about her recent makeup. IMO it is OTT and more suitable for an evening outing then a sporting event. Also the outfit seems to be wearing her rather than the reverse. It certainly doesn't have the intended effect and her facial expression is more of someone about to vomit than someone making a return. Physically she seems to have recovered (though I noticed a pronounced scaron one of her cheeks), but I doubt that she will be up for public duty. She is in all recent pics hiding behind her kids (who btw are uncomfortable without earplugs, which I am not getting since Albert himself is wearing some). Instead of seaking and getting support from her husband, she seems to draw on the kids. I also think that all of them have pretty much returned to their old behaviour, with ALbert having gotten closer to his kids. But for the moment I am not seeing much of a change for the better here. There have been unkind articles blaming Caro, which IMO are unfair. Luckily I think that she couldn't care less and that she will continue to help out where she can. I think the 2 adults concerned need to make up their minds about how they want to spend the next 10 to 15 years. I think the kids have shown that they can cope with whatever the situation with their parents will be, now they should make up their minds about how they want to live. IF CW continues to go on public outings looking unhappy or pained, she will be setting a bad example to the kids, who might eventually develop their own anxieties about being in public view. Anyways whatever happens behind closed doors is their bit, but both of them need to work on their outings together. For now they look like 2 strangers rather than 2 parents who have been married for over 10 years.

Well, the Brits only just now realized, that Oligarchs are not a good thing. And they sanctioned them,after they got away. THey boast about letting refugees in and then they don't. Laughable the DM donation scheme. They are at 7 million. Klitchko just thanked Germans for donating 100 million. Plus we are letting everyone in. A family that had just moved into their new home took in 2 Ukrainian women, then lost there home on Saturday to a fire. The Refugees are now staying with the familys cousin. They were looked after, before they looked after themselves and their I think 5 children (small ones too). Most annoying that granddaughter (i believe) of a Russian writer who used to be married to an oligarch, who goes on UK TV and talks down on oligarchs, whilst living to this day on the blood money she received in her divorce. Hypocrites and incompetent. Tbh I am rather glad that they no longer belong to the EU. They are just too annoying and I can't imagine how difficult they would have made matters, had they still been members and a say in things. Boris is just happy that those dead Ukrainians take the spotlight away from his partygate. Without Putin, e would probably no longer be PM.

I still like to point out that the Russians came as part of the ussr and decided to stay. So in my view they came as guests. If a guest tries to takeover my house, I am going to defend myself. The Russians could have always gone to Russia. They wanted to stay in Ukraine and benefit from the liberties, so they should adhere to their rules. Migrants have the same problem everywhere. It takes time and often generations until you are considered a local. Even if you move regions in your own country. There was no doubt discrimination against Russian, but you don't fight it by trying to steal the country. You fight it by getting involved. You won't convince a number of people, but you get influence and power to change things. Without weapons.

yeah, I think Putin in the ring with one of the Klischkos would have been a fairer fight and people would have actually been willing to pay for it. But this? we are still clearing away bombs from ww2. And in Verdun they are still clearing away from ww1. Ukraine delivered for decades food to most of Europe. Well, it will take quite some time until te soil can be safely used again for wheat. Prices are already steap. It started even before the war, but Just give it a tad more time and things will get worse. Also for us.

well, she could just be using his new toy from last summer. Not sure about the Israel thing, given that selensky is the one who brought them in to help with negotiations. BUt it is interesting how many of these oligarchs also have an Israely passport. Not that they seem to care much about fellow Jews. A group of Jewish orphans from Odessa has recently arrived here. Given how Germans ravaged the city during WW2 it is significant to see them turn to Germany for help rather than Israel, who btw is not very outspoken against the war due to Putins role in the middle east. Also worrying that Iran has used the opportunity to strike while the world is looking elsewhere. We should not forget, that there are other conflicts still smoldering and that we need to keep an eye on them too. But also that this is Putins war, not the war of Russian people. Even those supporting him are mostly victims of decades of propaganda. The moere respect obviously to those protesters in spite of the risks they are taking.
As to protecting her, I don't think that she was in any danger in Switzerland. I think it was simply about time to see how things go. Obviously she needed 30 days for the physical detox. But it has been 3 months now since she is clean and that is a long time. I suspect she will have some day patient care to get her started for another few weeks and build a routine in MC and then they will have her as an out patient taking more and more control. Depending how things go from there she will be back, or not. She needs to master the homefront first, so I won't be expecting her to attend anything official in the next few months. My guess is that the picnic in September is a reasonable and sufficiently intimate occasion for a comeback, but it is a long way until then...

well, I guess Albert wanted her back for his bday. Hopefully he will keep celebrations small and also she should still keep away from social media until she is fully back. Or maybe quitt sm all together. The palace and her foundation have have insta and facebook, so no need to have a private one that is public. If she wants, she can set it on private. But she is not posting that much and doesn't seem to know how to properly use it, so leave sm to professionals and focus on doing what you are good at and your kids. over a year is a very long time and the visits were brief. Even if there was facetime, it is no substitute, so she needs to get back into their daily routine, see what changed etc. It is a good thing tat they didn't make a big deal with photo op out of her return. I am sure that they have had the professionals draw out a plan of how to do things in the beginning, but eventually she has to fit herself into everyones routine and maintaining her own. Not easy. And there is the danger of going back to old patterns. So lets see what happens.

so two minus make a plus? Two people with abuse issues in a relationship? yeah, looks like another desaster. 2 people drowning, clinging to each other usually die. CW would seize to be high profile, once she gets out of ALberts life. Children or not. Look at Ducruet and other Grimaldi exes. Unless you bring your own glamour to the plate, the light goes out, once the Grimaldis don't shine on them. So she could get together with a normal bloke, if she so wishes and it would probably be her best choice. Someone stable with enough time for her and her issues. She is high maintenance and in need of someone with unlimited patience. SHe is not a normal woman, but a child in a huge body. Oh and the guy needs to like cyborgs, given all her non human spare parts. As to Tom Cruise? Really? you want to pawn her off to scientology? Given her newfound dedication to the pedophile club: I don't think so.

well, and then there is Zelensky, who shows how you cango from being a joke and not taken seriously toone of the most respected politicians. Maybe we wouldn't be at this point, had he been taken more seriously from the start, but it shows that an intelligent person, surrounded by good advisers can grow into the role. WHen ALbert ascended, there was also a moment where you could see live on TV how he changed from play prince to head of state. Unfortunetely he never fully fitted the role and there are still a lot of things he doesn't get, like supporting Ukraine and then going to watch kitted out with fan gear, an oligarch owned club. He might want to think of buying it back or forcing the russian killer to sell. Not a good look for MC and the entire MC royal family cheerleeding. Even the next generation.
