The South African-born princess, who married Prince Albert of Monaco in July, said she was "independent" and refused to accept excessive security, adding: "I don't like that. I'm quite independent. I will do it my way." She doesn't have 'excessive security' because it is not necessary. NOBODY cares about her enough to hassle her in public. This question assumes that she might need security. I challenge that she could walk about the streets of Paris and few people would recognize her.

I assume that Caroline gave the dedication speech in French.

It certainly appears that Caroline is continuing, if not increasing, her duties and fulfilling the job of "Princess of Monaco". Charlene is just AWOL (I guess not learning French in a timely matter is biting her in the rear). I'm sure that there are posters on other forums who are stunned with this outcome since their mantra was that Caroline needed to leave so Charlene could shine in all her glory.

She comes off as arrogant, bossy, and really full of herself. Why didn't the reporter ask her why she hasn't been attending events with Albert? Also, does she know that Albert has starting dating again? Also, this idea that she dresses conservatively because Monaco is a Catholic country (by the way, who put that thought in her head? Hi, Charlene! ;D), did she ever think that dressing conservatively might mean covering up your shoulders and tucking the boobs away? Ugh!

Wow! Caroline certainly looks happy in these photos and very relaxed. Her hair appears to be cut and I like her dress. Thanks for the photos, Emmeline. I have really enjoyed all the photos from events that Caroline has attended in the past few weeks. It has been a treat. And can someone remind me who exactly is the First Lady of Monaco and the flagship of Monaco?

IMO Daily mail was making a daydreaming article prior to reality. It will not be a date for he made a few years back a charity event with Ewa Hertzekova. What would Dailymail react to the fact that Beth is married to Scott Guetzkow!!!!! www.bethhart.com/bio.phpI don't know anything about Beth Hart, but I did wonder if the Daily Mail was dreaming a bit on this info. However, I still wonder where CC is and why she was not at a charity event for the disabled. Albert enjoys having his photo taken with women, the more the better, but now that he is married, he might want to rethink this habit.

Here is a link from the Daily Mail: www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2042018/Prince-Albert-Monaco-attends-charity-event-singer---wheres-wife-Charlene.htmlEvidently, Albert has started dating again and took singer Beth Hart to a charity event for the disabled. (Did he get a date because Caroline was busy, or did he tell sis that he didn't need her because he had found a date for the event?) The article indicates that Beth and Albert were a couple at this event. If this was a 'date', there are so many people who have egg on their face for officiating this wedding. Any bets on how long before we hear that Beth Hart is a longtime friend of the couple and it is completely innocent?

^That is an unfortunate photograph, one that most would want deleted from the camera. I can understand why Commoner Charlene is upset that it was released. But isn't that the problem with living in the public in the 21st century? You can't control all the time what the public sees. Need to learn to laugh about it and move on.

Charlotte in Hello! Argentina Cover: ************** Conlene who? ;D LOL ;D I'm wondering whose idea it is to feature Charlotte so much since the wedding (of the millennium)? Is it the press that is noticing her more, her Gucci contract, or is mom sending a message?

To me, I don't understand how they are able to state a specific number so definitely. One reason economics is such a hard science to study is that you cannot hold all conditions but the one you are studying, static in order to see the results, i.e., the princely wedding. The world keeps revolving. Changing economics can be the result of many things. Plus, wouldn't a measurement of GDP and whether it increased or decreased as a percentage be a more beneficial measurement. Also, they say indirect - how do they measure indirect? As you say MyaDia, they wanted the benefits to equal the 'reported' costs. Sounds like a wash and if they did a cost/benefit analysis BEFORE the event, that projected this result with the risk involved, most wouldn't do it. But shouldn't the wedding have been because we have two people madly in love and one is the Sovereign Prince and so the citizens want him to have a nice wedding? This may be why Albert has never found a true wife: he only looked at his potential marriage as a business adventure and never as a bonding with another person, and building a life together and family.

Hibou, please don't leave. We will all miss you if you do. Also, I think that we are just around the corner from the blank hitting the fan and you don't want to miss it. Emmeline, like your signature photos. You have captured the essence of Charlene and her likeness to Gollum exactly. She wanted her 'precious', she got it, and now we will see how long she gets to keep it.

Are you asking Emmeline if Charlene can continue with her plastic surgeries/procedures while she is pregnant? I'm thinking that if she were pregnant, then the doctor would have to refuse to do any work. If so, then will Charlene ever get pregnant if it means no plastic surgery?

I figure that they both drank before the marriage. As Paca says, it was/is a part of their lifestyle. But I don't think that Ernst understood the level of scrutiny that he would be under being married to one of the most photographed women in the world. And he could not handle it. It doesn't help that he seems, at times, to have the maturity level of a teenager. I know people say that he is a really fun guy and enjoys life, but you do need to set limits. So he got bad press, and then he beat up the guy in Kenya which really didn't help.
I can understand being embarrassed that your attorney called you a drunk in open court (in US, if your attorney admits something like this, it is considered a confirmed fact, no need to argue about it) but it seems that it would be more productive to improve his image if rather than trying to get his attorney to take the statement back is if Ernst entered rehab and got sober. Plus try to spend some time with your children. Instead, it seems that he is just going to drink until it kills him. Reports give the impression that he has turned over the handling of the Hanover estate to his eldest son. I have wondered if Caroline left him because his drinking just got so bad that she and Alex really weren't safe to be around him.
Also, to defend Caroline, she may not be pursuing a divorce because Ernst has told her he would not agree to it. I don't know anything about divorce in Europe, but in the US, if one party is not agreeable to divorcing and particularly if there are children involved, then it can get quite ugly and very stressful. Since she doesn't need money to live, she may rather just ignore that Ernst exists and lead her life. I thought it was quite telling that when Ernst went to hospital in Ibiza this summer, there were no reports of any of his children or siblings visiting him. It was just that brothel chick and some hanger-ons.

Wow! Do I feel important or what? Here I am with my fellow posters from all over the world, making pithy comments about a prince (an autocrat head of state) and his princess and what I say is so influential and evidently, damaging that I must be silenced. This is wacky beyond belief. First, MyaDia, again thank you for taking the time and making the effort to start and manage this forum. Your work is appreciated. Especially all the efforts that you make, and fellow posters, to provide actual facts of what is going on in Monaco. This makes this forum most interesting. After what happened at Royal Dish, I'm not surprised that the musket has been turned on this forum now. Albert and Charlene must have the thinnest skin of any human beings. Someone needs to tell them that they are in the big leagues now and this comes with the territory. I think that this attack may be in response to the Forbes article on Albert and Eringer. Eringer may have taken some hits in the article, but Albert comes off as not qualified to be prince. If Eringer had not exposed what he has, I don't think that Forbes would have written the article. Also, Monaco using diplomatic immunity to fight what is basically a collection action seems to be overkill and makes one wonder what is going on there. The serious press is starting to look at Monaco and is not giving it high marks. The blatant waste of money at the wedding, especially during these difficult economic times and the fact that Monaco has a deficit, also is raising eyebrows with serious people. The money spent is on level with what one would expect from some world leader whose marriage would have impact on many, many people, not just some low level prince of the second smallest country in the world. World markets are roiling from worries about Greece and Italy debt and here is Monaco wasting a ton of money on a carpet that is now being cut up at the same time that services for its citizens are being cut. I can only assume that someone is very afraid that the press and that others will start to investigate this forum and will find out things that they don't want known (similar to Eringer). MyaDia has worked hard to make this a record of the facts (and resulting opinions) and a resource to anyone who wants to learn more. It reminds one of Royal Dish wiping out all of the Monaco comments, hoping to remove any discomforting facts or opinions from being seen. On the question of whether to limit the forum to just members or to everyone on the web, I am undecided. If it's limited to just members, hopefully we can all post as we want and enjoy the camaraderie of people who have a similar interest without being pestered to shut up. However, it does provide some level of victory for the Silencers as it will limit who will see this information and that is what they want. Thanks to my fellow posters. Although this is a forum about Monaco, I have learned many other things. Such as about languages, plastic surgery, etc. I have enjoyed reading what others know about the various topics and how individuals from other countries view things. Plus, though some call us haters, I have found the group to be comprised of many caring people who are truly interested in the well-being of their fellow posters. Most of us are here because we truly care about the future of MONACO. We have come here through various paths, most that touch on Princess Grace. If I didn't care about Monaco, then I wouldn't be spending any time on this. It is sad that most of us seem to care more about the success and positive progress of the country than its Sovereign Prince and Princess do. That concludes my royal opinion for today. I will opine more in the future.

Hibou, I liked the new moniker of C C for Commoner Charlene. Sounds like Charlene is running off all the palace staff and refusing to do anything that she is told. I'm not surprised.

It's true that Monaco does seem to need young crowds. Albert should let the Casiraghis and Caroline take over. He should have trained Andrea (or Pierre) long ago. The only young crowds he will get, if he has any luck, it's his kids' friends in 20 years. The Bitchstock doesn't have a belly yet. The last thing needed is for Albert to train anyone for any job. He is clueless about work. He just needs to GO! Whoever takes over would be better off just going in cold and learning on the job, rather than having any help from Albert. Years ago when Andrea was a teenager, didn't Caroline and Albert have some words because she wanted Albert to take a more active role with Andrea and help him prepare for his future and Albert refused? I think Eringer described Albert best: he's a hedonist.
