Bunte wrote April 8th 2011 that Charlene is the new Grace Kelly. translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bunte.de%2Froyals%2Fcharlene-wittstock-sie-ist-die-neue-grace-kelly-_aid_24139.html&sl=de&tl=en&hl=&ie=UTF-8 She is the new Grace Kelly Blonde, beautiful and elegant in Ireland showed Charlene Wittstock all that she has the makings of a style icon à la Grace Kelly. Everything about her glamorous appearance!It is Grace Kelly-like every day! During a state visit to Ireland was like Charlene Wittstock (33) of their dead mother-in to the hair. Now paid from the future princess of Monaco, the Irish capital Dublin to visit - and showed everyone that she has the makings of a style icon. Your diamond chandelier sparkled in Flash Mode storm the photographers, the gray one-shoulder gown emphasized the model figure of the former world class swimmer. And then this grandeur, this broadcast ... Not only Prince Albert (52) threw his fiancee at the banquet with the Irish President admiring glances - the whole room was doing it. How fitting: The program of his three-day trip is also an exhibition in honor of Albert's mother Grace Kelly. The father of Hollywood actress was born in Ireland. No wonder that her successor Charlene there as an international star is celebrated ...

CM, I used to believe that Albert wasn't that stupid - I would say it all the time. But, I was wrong, I really wish I wasn't. but, Albert REALLY IS JUST THAT STUPID! It is really very simple - Sucker Albert believed all that crap that the sycophantic press wrote. He was too stupid to realize that there was no substance to the crap that they wrote over the last six years because there is no substance to Charlene. I've read the interviews that his media consultant Jean-Luc Mano gave on the day of the engagement announcement praising Albert's decision, Charlene and the fairytale couple as a big economic boom for Monaco. Jerome Revon, the wedding production manager, came up with the idea of the exorbitant TV fees to broadcast the wedding because he convinced Albert that the world would be interested in his wedding, which he actually coined as the "wedding of the century. The palace PR advisor Stahl has also made similar statements about the appeal of this wedding and Charlene. I've seen the media fawn over Charlene at public outings. I've seen the probably hundreds of magazine covers. And, I've read too many articles where they all stated the same thing - Charlene looks so much like Grace and Albert should marry her and she will bring glamour to Monaco. Everywhere Albert went, the media asked him about Charlene. I really believe that Albert thought that marrying Charlene will be a big hit with the media and thus boost Monaco's image and be an economic boom. When the numbers didn't materialize in the first six months after the engagement, Albert's highly paid advisors, not wanting to admit they were wrong, had Albert to double all of his efforts. Albert believed the media and not his own people nor people of class and substance who shunned Charlene for good reasons. Now, Albert is stuck with a dumb ass plastic boobie prize but he is just too stupid and spineless to do anything about it. It is down to the wire and no turning back (Charlene and he family are probably jumping for joy) and Stupid Al is now doubling his efforts hoping that the tide will miraculously change and Charlene and his marriage will have a positive effect for Monaco. Yes! I totally agree. Absolutely Albert is that dumb!!! I'm talking about Stahl and TLC and all the rest. They KNOW this is a fraud. They know this PR thing is not working. They are playing Albert. I used to think it was to get and keep control over him. Now, I'm not so sure what there motives are - I just know THEY are not this stupid. The must know this will bring him down. And it will. PA & CW have become a joke world wide! PA's people know this. They have to by now. What are THEY up to? What are THEY after? I now think they chose WC particularly because she is infertile. Then the can ask Fatal to step aside to let his nephews rule. But why the long engagement? why didn't they get her married to him years ago, and they might be getting rid of him this year.

I said this awhile back - and possibly dumb Albert is the only one who doesn't know it. I can't imagine Princes Caroline letting this nightmare go this far. She'd come up with something to stop it - I'm sure. She seems to be just coasting through this- she can't stand Charlene and she won't lie and pretend she does - so she's just reluctantly going along with it. This would at least stop all the various women who think if they get pregnant PA will marry them or support them - and it will put an end - finally - to who will take over from PA. Sometime along these lines. But surely there was somebody else they could have picked that couldn't have children to pull off this charade. I mean Charlene just doesn't have the chops for this job - no matter how short lived it turns out to be - She just doesn't and the damage it's doing Monaco is irreparable.

For Carla Bruni, it's too little too late. This woman has had a couple of years to prove herself. Unlike Charlene, Bruni is not stupid. With both she and her husband falling in the polls, she is trying to save his job and hers. It's not going to work. JMO

With both she and her husband falling in the polls, she is trying to save his job and hers. It's not going to work. JMO Exactly, Hibou! Carla was a wealthy cultured supermodel-turned singer who although garnered lots of media attentin in the beginning, has had a very negative efffect for Sarkozy. The selection of Carla as the first lady of france only solified the opinion that people had of Sarkozy - a bling bling president who only cares about himself. You would have thought that Albert would learn from this. But, Albert really is just that stupid. Unlike Sarkozy who married within weeks after hooking up with Carla, Albert decided to parade his stupidity for months after his engagement (actually years after publicly hooking up with Charlene). Good lawd, this man is stupid! Charlene has 10 times less the substance and appeal of Carla, so what in creation was Albert thinking about the effect that Charlene will have on Monaco? Good lord, this man is really that stupid.

Point de Vue, who Bunte has promoted Charlene for Princess of Monaco from the beginning. But unlike Bunte, Point de Vue has invested money in other projects due to their promotion of Charlene, such as their book about her (and other Moanco princesses) and several special editions featuring her. Here's a summary of Point de Vue's latest special edition about Charlene. Notice how they compare Charlene to Princes Grace - down to her activities at Roc Agel. Charlene: NEW PRINCESS OF MONACO
It was at Roc-Agel, the private residence of the Grimaldi family, which dominates the principality, Charlene Wittstock that has spent the last few weeks that separated the day of her marriage with Prince Albert II.A transition which is welcome in the private and secret of the royal family.At Roc-Agel are allowed only family and close friends.The park, located in a mountainous area, is large, safe from prying photographers and.No house or castle, but many simple buildings built over the years next to each other.In this house, where she liked to spend his weekends, Princess Grace said, "Roc-Agel is a mixture of several things.This is initially a Provence-style, but we have added a lot of ideas. "A house of relaxation, without protocol, where one can indulge in what he likes to do.Princess Grace spent there most of his free time to create tables in flower petals, a hobby became a passion.Prince Rainier isolated himself in his sculpture studio.

"She has completed her Princess-training!!!! ?!!!!! ?? Kate is taking lessons from a top-diplomat (according to a German newspaper) to be able to TALK AND INTERACT with people on high level and have conversation with substance - while CW thinks she is "ready for the job" cause she is dresses in Armani and appears in glossy magazines!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?? No French language, no improvement of her English, no culture, no politics - just fashion and pictures? OMG - the Soviet Union collapsed because the government believed in the stuff their own papers wrote and totally lost contact with reality! Monaco will be next if nothing happens. I don't get this!!! WHERE ARE THE FREE MEDIA IN THE WEST??? WHY THE TABLOIDS AND PAPERS WRITE ONLY SUGAR AND NOBODY DARES TO WRITE AND PRINT THE NAKED TRUTH!?Honestly, no one writes much about Monaco anymore. Well not here in the USA. Just scandal headlines surface now and then. Since Grace passed, so did so much positive visibility about Monaco. Grace Kelly transformed herself into a Princess with much hard work. Grace loved the arts, literature, ballet, theater etc.. And promoting cultural events in Monaco seem like a work of love, something that was dear to her heart. She understood the arts, was educated in the arts. She loved the arts. Today Monaco is known for its tabloid headlines despite all of the efforts of Princess Caroline. I don't know exactly why this is; perhaps this is because for many years Prince Rainier and Prince Albert did not have a consort, an official first lady. So in regards to the upcoming nuptials, the press does not take Monaco seriously or the stories behind the marriage seriously. A reporter is dispatched to Monaco to do a story and probably the palace carefully selects publications that will produce a sugary story. Fluff pieces are written about a fluff principality. Grace’s marriage to Rainier helped transform a gambling den into a five star vacation destination with so many different cultural events. The cultural events are still there, but something is missing. If the palace is promoting Charlene as the new Princess Grace, well I don’t think that is good strategy. It might have been better to approach Princess Charlene’s image in an understated way, quietly with fewer fashion photo shoots and less gilding. (Look at the new Duchess Catherine’s approach to her new position) Less is better, start small then let Charlene build her image slowly. That way her position or image is built on solid a solid foundation of experiences and accomplishments. It seems as if there is a PR campaign to promote the new princess already done up, ready to go, too much icing on the cake. Mystique, where is it? Grace achieved respect as a European Princess after many many years of hard work and interacting with other royals, making friendships, accomplishments etc… Grace did do fashion shoots in the palace, in the palace gardens and so on, but it seemed different. She just had “it”, Caroline has “it”. Some women are born with “it” and most of us are not.

Duchess cornflower, that has been our point for six years, after Charlene's first and only date for years, Charlene immediately went to the press when she got home to SA (after first meeting Albert 10 years ago one night), where she gave a lengthy play by play account of her date with a Prince, that was basically the story--it was all to highlight the importance of herself! I have been told that Charlene had been floating around with Albert and his entourage for a year or at least part of the previous year before she came on the scene, after his dad was to ill to keep track of Albert's schedule, or to ill to care anymore--he never liked or approved of Charlene--he has was smart enough to have her number unlike his son. After Rainier died and was not there to prevent it--when Albert or/ans his people were afraid Albert needed a distraction from the golddigging opportunistic women of his past who was causing him trouble at the time, his PR team and advisers had the i ngenious idea to introduce Charlene another golddigging opportunistic woman (who couldn't get enough camera time) on the scene--They flooded the scene with Charlene--She has been a publicity hound for six straight years trying to get as much mileage as she could out of her relationship or I should say business deal with Albert. I want to mention that she was paid big bucks monthly for services rendered, enough that she has plenty to send home to her family and to save or spend as she pleased outside of her living expenses as being kept in a privileged lifestyle (her words) It was reported 40,000 euros a month? She did her best to dig herself into that rock years ago when she saw the opportunity, hence CM's comment about overhearing Charlene's comment (with her own ears) about how she was never leaving Monaco! Charlene thought she could dig herself in by planting herself so publicly in the eye of the media (her favorite thing) and making herself appear completely dependent on Albert, which of course for some idiotic reason the palace only saw all of this as as a good idea--it was their original idea maybe, but also Charlene's long time goal and plan, as she reveals in her her interviews . For some reason these professional (cough) PR people and advisers thought Albert promoting and flaunting his ignorant publicity loving "kept" bimbo 20 years his junior, in the public eye, was a good strategic move for a Monarch like Albert! ;D Grace didn't do fashion shoots in the palace until long after she was the princess of Monaco and she already was an international star in her own right before she was ever the princess of Monaco! Kate who has been dating William for years did no publicity or interviews when she was dating William, one because she sounds like a girl with some discretion and integrity, and because if she did I doubt she would be at William's side much longer if she had! the little booklets of their wedding are all or mostly "candid" shots of Kate. Charlene stirs no interest for anyone so everything is a PR Op or PR stunt, even the ones that are meant to look candid are not! Charlene is the type of women who pay's lip service to her discretion as she is DOING AN INTERVIEW while living off Albert and not much of anything else for six years, and basically all while she has been leveraging her relationship to the prince of Monaco in the press and at every opportunity? That is the difference.

a proper Flemish newspaper talking about PlasticFace: www.standaard.be/artikel/detail.aspx?artikelid=UV3BSD38‘Charlene the new Grace Kelly’. The artikel say’s: ‘The South African is the spotless godsend for the Grimaldi’s.’ LOL. Sorry, I just can not stop from laughter… I need sugar…water.

Point de vue has Charlene (of course) on its cover this week. In the summary, PDV describes the difference in a year from last year's St. Jean Fest when Albert announced his engagement to Charlene until this year of them together on the balcony. PDV describes a large crowd that gathered outside the palace at last year's St. Jeans Day and being disappointed that Charlene didn't appear. Well, PDV is lying (as usual when it comes to Charlene and the people in MC feelings toward her). Any, their lie made me wonder if it wasn't Albert's original intention to present Charlene at the balcony last year, but decided against it since the crowd was very small. Recall, Charlene's friends spoke to one of the mag stating that they came to the palace Square to see Charlene. I wouldn't be surprised if Charlene told them she was going to be presented at the balcony. That morning Albert had a family breakfast to celebrate the engagement, which included Chris Le Vine and his daughters. I really believe that Charlene was supposed to be presented at the balcony. Albert probably though, as anyone would have (I know I did0 that after hearing the announcement, and knowing that Albert appears at the balcony on St Jeans Day - that naturally Charlene will be presented. Albert should have known that his people's lack of presence at the palace on that day - even if Charlene was not presented - their lack of presence just to show support Albert at this "historical moment" - was a major signal of what the people of Monaco thought of his choice of Charlene. But, Albert has to learn all things the hard way.
Week of June 28 to July 5, 2011 SAME DAY, SAME TIME. A June 23 Palace Square offered in the midday sun. Processions and the fires of St. John. Last year, 09 to 12 pm precisely, the palace announced the engagement of "SAS, Prince Albert Alexandre Louis Pierre, ruler of Monaco" with "Charlene Lynette Wittstock, the South African". But the stake was in flames without the couple waited until night by a dense crowd, appearing on the balcony. Disappointment. Frustration. Only Albert, surrounded by Caroline and Stephanie, had then calmed the impatience of Monaco. A year later, the subjects of the prince rejoice. Between the two sides of a curtain of crimson-purple, of the same silk as the curtain of the Opera Garnier, the Prince and Princess future are emerging. Next sequence in three acts. Them first in profile medal, nothing back, is peering with the seriousness and intensity of oaths to come. Then one and the other close to peering alternately. Charlene wears a dress of midnight blue. On his neck, and for the first time, a miraculous medal. We no longer see her. And he, radiant, leaving her to make this gesture. A right hand. A shy hello. Soon assured. That of the new Princess of Monaco. The result in 3284 the number of Point of View
