She gets spoilt by her aunt and cousins, is the center of attention. What is not to like? And my guess is that she will get sth out of her dad. I'm thinking her own puppy? But seriously, she seems in good spirits, on Monday everyone will be all over her and at her age these things usually heal fast. She should get more calcium in her diet though for stronger bones. What I am wondering though is, if the Grimaldi family gets more involved now. After all leaving them in the care of nannies, when you have 2 aunts and adult cousins living nearby? Thus far we have seen them mostly with the Wittstocks and on NH with the wider Grimaldi family. It is interesting that now we see them suddenly very close to aunt and cousins.

Well sometimes you just need someone to point things out, to effect positive change. She gets spoilt by her aunt and cousins, is the center of attention. What is not to like? And my guess is that she will get sth out of her dad. I'm thinking her own puppy? But seriously, she seems in good spirits, on Monday everyone will be all over her and at her age these things usually heal fast. She should get more calcium in her diet though for stronger bones.

Maybe Albert has realised, that he does have quite a large team on his side and whom he can trust. Antoinette and Rainier had their differences when younger, but eventually they put their differences aside and both worked for the good of MC. The dog show was btw her baby, as well as the cat show and the rspa. I think the article about Charlene wanting more important charities is rubbish as Albert knows that Caro is doing good work and is always reliable and that should she be prevented, Charlotte would step in, just like Melanie helped Antoinette and her mother and is now taking on those charities. They have invested many years of work, they know their stuff. Charlene may want more, but she will not get any of these charities. She wouldn't get fight aids either. I think that the turf is clear.First Charlene has to proof herself reliable and then she can come up with her own thing. Albert would be seen as ungrateful to take anything off Caro after all her years of service. What he can do though is allow her to take on some of his. It would take some of his workload off him and ultimately they would come back to his children when they are old enough.That way everyone can be happy. But I can't see Albert agrieving any of his sisters and their children, to please Charlene. Besides there are people attached to those charities, who would not welcome the changes. People who support fight aids are not the same as those who support amade. I think if she wants to stay, Albert should slowly handover the redcross and remain honorary patron. She already is vice director (btw Camille is on the board too), so making her director would be a natural next step. But it should be made slowly and she needs to be reliable, and it has to be ensured that her family will not ever get on the board. I think that would clearly establish her as the number one. But her French needs to get better for the job and she can't keep throwing tantrums.

Is the WWF not up to her standard?! Such a little cherry picker to want the glory of the established ones? Where's that original streak?? 😄 She has children's water safety too. In olden(!) times, a new royal who had a lapse to fill would throw their weight behind education or religious patronages to compensate their shortcomings. It was a humble endeavour, steeped in some self-awareness and desire to improve. Why not do something for Ste-Dévote? A historical type of cause, and a linkage to Corsica that she loves so much. Why not have a festival of water lanterns to re-enact Devote's journey? Or have a SA cultural festival featuring food and emerging cinema/artists' exhibitions, so Monégasques can understand where she came from, for a week every year? Selecting a programme and awardees would keep her immersed in SA while in Monaco. No one would take that cause away.

The answer is simple: she has no clue about her own culture. She is uneducated and simply not interested. Otherwise she wouldn't be blackfacing and thinking that is cool. Even in MC people know that it is not cool. If she were versed in her old culture and actually learning about her new culture, she could initiate an exchange. Export MC to SA. Show that MC has more to offer than a taxhaven. Grace started that Ireland relation, although she was American and never lived there. At that time Ireland was still a poor country and people still left for the same reasons her ancestors left. And given that she was born and for a large part raised in Zimbabwe she could also try to do sth there. I am sure, that if she were a smart and educated woman, she would find plenty of ways to be useful. But since she is who she is, her message is rhino horn is not cool, to which I respond black face and ridiculing migrants is even less cool. Grow up and drop your apartheid upbringing. Being white is an accident not a privilege. Otherwise all those pics with your nazi salute will have to be taken as stating your opinion and which would show your putting your childrens brother with the help in quite a different light.

Ireland has the fastest growing economy in Europe now or was it last year, despite historic challenges. I read it somewhere, I can't recall. Well with Grace, it had to be the religious connection. It's funny how sometimes you're culturally lumped together and there's for example huge differences even between Québécois and Italian Catholics. My experience is a soft, peaceful, art-inspiring upbringing vis-a-vis a more judgy, self-punishing and militant approach. Mind you, nothing compares to the psychological violence experienced by my Jewish friends, but I digress. Yes, Monaco naturally would be her calling card and exporting its culture a good idea but we've seen how she struggles with that so why not give her a creative incubator by which she can accessorily cultivate herself? (I must have read something less recent or watched an older doc. 2020 was Guyana btw) The answer is simple: she has no clue about her own culture. She is uneducated and simply not interested. Otherwise she wouldn't be blackfacing and thinking that is cool. Even in MC people know that it is not cool.

well given that she is workshy and prefers shortcuts, none of it will happen. Taking over an already functioning ngo would be her shortcut here and that seems to be her goal. That and twisting reality to make herself look better than she is. It baffles me that no media has ever pointed to her lack of education as the root of her problem. That and the fact that no one bothers to point out the agenda of her family, the positions they are holding without any qualification.

so apparently she fell and sprained her ankle. Isn't a cast a bit overdoing it? I had plenty of those in my day, but never a cast. Didn't go to a doctor either. Just put some cream on it (im my days it was Mobilat) and one of those supporting socks. Rest and keep it up.Takes about 2 to 3 weeks. These days I would probably use arnica against the swelling. Btw as children we used to love crutches. We'd steal my dads when he broke his toe, trying to straighten my grandfathers tombstone. We actually had races through the house on his crutches. Much more fun then a wheelchair and less dramatic. I am sure she could have learne to use them rather quickly... people.com/royals/princess-charlene-daughter-princess-gabriella-leg-brace-wheelchair-monaco-dog-show/

It's amazing how the interest in them has dwindled.

Maybe that was the plan...? Or if you mean CC towards her kids, you got me there. I've never seen a more disengaged mother figure. Then again, she was like that towards the principality too. It all contributes to the overall disconnect. I just hope they're not spending too much on PR. It's amazing how the interest in them has dwindled.

And...Alexandre is making the rounds: www.independent.co.uk/life-style/prince-monaco-son-family-b2395772.htmlThis time, in The Independent. I tend to agree about the whole legitimacy thing although my friend the former poster insists that Monégasque laws are specific about descendance hence why he's not qualified to ascend to his father's throne. So there. But the label I find is not necessary. I'm not sure though that everyone agrees Nicole is as gentle a person as she may very well be as a mother... 🧂
