Pity. To have Covid in the US - I think actually 10% of the population, because or poor pandemic crisis management, is now contaminated - is not a huge surprise since it's the epicenter. Let's hope other than her recovery that maybe by virtue of who her father is, some urgency will be placed on finally taking charge of the problem. Trump's incompetence has already cost tens of thousands of lives; emergency plans were scuppered to incur deaths in non-Trumper states; emergency funds misallocated to Trump supporters and future ones are being highjacked to benefit Trump Org via unrelated projects like a new FBI building across from his hotel or whatever. His investment in pharmaceuticals - Sanofi - is being charged with involuntary manslaughter, and so should he. |

I scrolled but I can't see a date. If there's been no other news article since then, maybe they settled out of court? |

It's nice to see. Homeschooling is tough for many parents, no doubt. I think kids can't wait to get back to their own little society which helps them absorb knowledge. Personally I'm enjoying learning at a distance and hopped on that last Spring, to keep my mind occupied during the pandemic. Oh but, math and science? Not for me. Both make me cry, for different reasons. Math, from despair. Astronomy, from the sheer beauty of the stars but I retain nothing. |

Nothing in the headlines since November. My guess is an out-of-court settlement and an NDA. I could be wrong. Has anyone heard of this character Ben Menasche's book about honey traps? It just came out. What ever happened to the latest paternity suit? I have not seen anything... |

Alexandre turns 18 and Jazmin celebrates with him it's on her Instagram account - not sure if I have the right link: This lovely girl is like a ray of sunshine - love her! http://instagr.am/p/CTHgErKLLAI |

She does put in an effort to be a model daughter and to make lemonade. I'm sure she's a daddy's girl at heart. She also has a great rapport to her cousin, Stephanie's daughter. They're a pirate family in a way, where sticking together is what matters without being too literal. I hope they're all happy, as young people deserve to be, with no clouds in their sky.

I am a bit surprised that none of the cousins are pictured or Steph given that she is his godmother and seems to have been rooting for them ever since she knew of their existence. Steph is the queen of patchwork family. All her kids have good relations with their halfsiblings, though I think that Steph would drop the half and just call them siblings. She has always granted their fathers as much access to the kids as possible. There was never heard of any squabbles about custody. I have to hand it to the fathers though, they always made an effort for the kids. And the fact that she has no problems spending time with the kids and their fathers for lunch and dinners, shows that these adults have managed to put their egos aside for the benefit of their children. It seems that Tamara and Nicole have managed to get out of the way too. Now Charlene needs to step away to give her children a chance to build relationships with them, despite the huge age gap. After all Jazmin could be their mom, agewise.
Btw does anyone know if she is actually singing these days? What does she do?

So apparently the palace organised the birthday bash. According to Nicole 2 days after his birthday, but the party was on the 28th. So my guess is that there were actually 2 parties, one with Nicole and Albert and all the kids right when they came back and another from which we have seen pics. TBH most 18 year olds don't want their parents to be there. Just their friends and siblings and cousins, but not really adults. Anyways, they are questioning why Albert allows her to trash his wife, right after that party.Me I am asking why reporters do not notice inaccuracies in their storytelling. I think the most important message she conveyed was, that there has never been any financial agreement, only that he was being provided for. Back then he said that Alexandre had no right of succession, but it was never stated that Nicole gave that up for him (she couldn't have anyways as it was not her right to give up). So Albert only stated what the constitution said and with Nicole around and that being publicly reported, might have been in Alberts interest. Nicole has always been her achilles heel. So he might be waving that interview in her face from now on, when she doesn't want to play along. If she leaves, he is free to marry whoever he wants and there is nothing she can do about it. If he did marry Nicole (which IMO he won't because he could have done that years ago to legitimize Alexandre), none of the Wittstocks would be able to benefit further. Charlene would have her divorce settlement, the kids are provided for, and with Alex as heir, their relatives are irrelevant for MC image. They might try to badmouth, but given that they all bludged on his paycheck their intentions would be clear and the palace could discretely point to their entrepreneural disasters on Alberts money. So, should she ever want to divorce, Albert could annihilate everything in no time. Her kids would only serve as backup. Anyways, I also wonder, if Charlene was unaware that Albert had a much closer relationship to his son than was publicly known. I somehow don't see him telling her, that he would go see his son. And we do know that Albert not only travels a lot for business, but also private. www.gala.de/royals/monaco/fuerst-albert--warum-laesst-er-zu--dass-charl%C3%A8ne-gedemuetigt-wird--22501388.html |

I had a feeling the palace helped organize it. I'm not surprised that Albert has a strong bond to his son, although he wasn't always publicly elegant about it. Judging by Alexandre's healthy good looks, his father can naturally take pride. I find it fascinating that were Albert to marry his mother, many things fall into better order. However, Nicole's hustling style is a bit much. I would annul quickly after. Unfortunately for Albert, his timing always makes him look bad. So apparently the palace organised the birthday bash. According to Nicole 2 days after his birthday, but the party was on the 28th.

Yeah, I think the difference with regards to Jazmin is, that he saw him growing up. I met him every Wednesday and Saturday at swimming in MC, so I guess those days he could also always pop by to see his dad. Too bad he doesn't show his bright smile in recent pics. He had a great smile as a kid and bright eyes. Pauline was at the pool often as well during that time. So his contact to the family was definetely closer than Jazmins. Also I remeber seeing that pic with him as a baby and Albert beforehe was officially recognized. It was in a brochure I found at a bank from either Monaco aide et presence or Association de Monaco. And yeah I could see Albert getting Alexandre in. At least some important role. Should Albert die before Jacques is 18 currently there would need to be a regent installed. Albert could intend Alexandre to do that job instead of Caro or Andrea. Also we have seen how succession can change in Jordan. Anyways with Alexandre he can already see who he has become, with Jacques it will have to be seen.
And yes Nicole has odd ways, but as a mother I get her. She just wants her son being treated equal not a shady secret or as someone you need to be ashamed of. So I do get her. Her feelings have been hurt too, so she did what she thought was right. As I said before, if there would have been adults at the table things could have been handled differently. IMO the kids should have always been invited to private and semy private gatherings. The annual picnic should have been one, the circus (as Steph is his godmother and heads the festival) and at least one with his dad. But also St devote and a few others. Plus he could have been on the balcony with Steph and her kids. Always visible but not in the forefront. I remember that at the ascension there was rumour of him being there and there were quite a few woman who thought they saw him and were delighted. Remember they were mostly Monegasques present. They thought that it was so great of Albert to have his son there.... Anyways to have Alex be more prominent would not have harmed Alberts image. On the contrary. And had he done so from the start, it would have been clear to Charlene, that she had to accept his children, if she wanted the job. I think it is the halfheartedness of Albert that allowed this situation to establish itself. He didn't want to offend and ended up offending everyone. But he can still changes things. If Charlene does come back, he can let her know that this is what he wants. He has done it her way and it wasn't working. Now they should do it his way... After all he is the prince, he has the power and the money. Use it.

Gabriella sits in a wheelchair and Caro, Charlotte and Melanie come to the rescue. visiting the yearly dogshow. And I wouldn't be surprised if there is a new addition... It seems that someone managed to fix her hair. She seems very happy with her aunt and cousin. It's like looking at different children. The interaction of Caro and Charlotte is full of warmth. Those are 2 women who know how to handle children. I have not seen one pic of Charlene with her children that comes close to what I see here. This is an official visit, but at the same time it is suitable for children. And as you can see they are showing genuine interest, they are well behaved and are actually enjoying it. That is how you teach them the job. With ease. I said get Caro in there and she doesn't even need a magic wand... These are the kind of pics you want of them, not those of a disinterested mother and kids running amok, because their parents only use them as props. Charlene, if you want to be the protector of the heirs, than take lessons from Caro. If anyone knows how to protect children and raise them in the limelight she is the one. I am sure she will be delighted to help out, if asked. The pictures are testament to that. Caro is always there when she is needed. She has no need to play games. And she has always been willing to give to her family. adelswelt.de/charlene-von-monaco-ihre-tochter-sitzt-im-rollstuhl/ |

That is nice to see, how calm the kids are. The dogs are a welcome distraction, no doubt. It's not for nothing they're used as decompressors in stressful situations. Good thinking, whoever planned this visit. Plus the light-coloured headband softens the rambunctious girl. I denote a bit of anxiety in Jacques though. Like his dad, he's a bit outnumbered with girls. He needs his own little soccer team, or something. I think Gabriella has sympathy injury with her mom. They're very bonded subconsciously. We can't make too much of the ladies' good treatment of the kids, lest it sends CC in hysterics so we will just whisper it. 👍🏼 Gabriella sits in a wheelchair and Caro, Charlotte and Melanie come to the rescue. visiting the yearly dogshow.

I think Melanie took the job from her mother and grandmother. She used to be there, when they were still alive (she also took on the tennis from her mom). So she might have given the invite. But Caro has been there before. She often visits the dogshow, kermesse etc. So I think it was a joint thing. The injury is recent. Possibly happened on their wednesday off school, when all parents are busy getting their kids from one activity to the next.Don't know about sympathy injury, I thought that haircut would have been enough, but she surely enjoys the attention she is receiving. She is beaming with joy. Charlene posted the pics on her IG. So the kids are being used in her feed to show what? (the pics were first posted by the palace and have been preselected by them) they do not say anything about her relation ship with Caro. I have seen pics on National holiday with her kids, fooling around with them and being the doting aunt she is. Caro truely loves children. She would never treat them badly, even if she didn't get on with their mother. I always wonder why the media always try to paint her in a light that is so not her. I remember when Caro and Steph were pitted against one another. I saw the worried looks on Stephs face when their dad died. Everyone worried about Steph, but it was Caro that was most effected in church and Steph and everyone nearby worried about her. I'll never forget the explosion of tears when for the first time the prayer for the prince was sung without a name. And you could hear Caro sing along with tears in her voice.
