I came onto the forum this morning to find no new comments. Well, if Albert and his flunkies wanted to silence us, they did. Death by boredom. Silenced because there is nothing interesting to say about them any more. Funny way to silence one's critics! JMO

JMO Don't you think it is a good sign because it means not only we have nothing to say about nothing but even the tabloids or proper papers have no material so say anything about them. The two lovebirds have fallen into oblivion. Weren't they supposed to push Monaco's image? I guess we have to wait for the next PR campaign!

Monaco is still doomed and because of the boring couple, no one cares very much.

I'm bored too. I want to see the Princely dimwits of Monaco doing something! Mmm...what happens Al? Have you locked Charlene in a tower, is she getting hormones and botox to look more like "Grace" and be pregnant soon? Is that what is happening?

Where have you been Emmeline? didn't you read his blog? The Lunatic Mad Man for Monaco has written (so it is now fact) that Charlene has been working really hard and doing a great job since becoming princess.

hey, she has to service Albert and make up for him not being able to have as many women as he likes and has been used to. That is hard work I am sure the lower paid street walkers would agree and that's why she still wears their uniform, just more pricey...

And, as an added pressure, she still has to look somewhat manly to cater to the other side of Albie, if we are going to believe the rumors, haha!

I had no interest in Monaco or its "Royals" until I saw clips of the wedding several months ago. Charlene's tears and Albert's apparent disinterest and apathy piqued my curiosity, so I began researching their relationship and current events in Monaco online.
At times, comments against them seem undeservedly harsh, and yet I understand why people are angry. The internet has exposed painful truths about our world, and while Monaco's attempts to sell a "fairy tale" wedding may have worked years ago, it is difficult to hide facts from people now. It seems to this observer that Albert and Charlene's marriage is less about love or friendship and more a business arrangement, which makes sense given Monaco's investment in the "Royal Family" and doesn't necessarily make it "wrong". But their attempts to sell a different story to the media are unconvincing, and both of them seem unprepared for and overwhelmed by our media/Internet savvy world.
Perhaps those around them are protecting other interests (or too afraid to tell the truth). And while I suspect that Albert is more aware of the sobering realities that Monaco faces because of his exposure to world events and leaders, Charlene's (sometimes painful, other times infuriating) self-consciousness and seeming disdain undoubtedly mask an insecure interior, and you can't help feeling some empathy if you've ever felt out of your depths.

Welcome Peoplewatcher!
Perhaps I am just too cold, but I do not feel any EMPATHY (identification with and understanding of another's situation, feelings, and motives) toward Albert and Charlene. Why would any of us empathize with either one of them. Albert and Charlene spent between $50 and $70 million to sell this trashy union as some fairytale love story with the hopes of boosting Monaco's image and economy. Would you do such a thing using the sacrament of marriage - and then try to bring a child/.children into this union? Why in the world would we feel empathy for them because they are upset that the world (besides a dozen or so flunkies and sycophants) have enough common sense and decided to pass on their trashy fairytale?

Albert and Charlene really thought that people would just take as gospel whatever they presented. They really didn't realize that this is not 1956 and the palace's PR machine cannot dictate public opinion. Also, Albert and his PR consultants really truly believed that all they had to do was dress and style Charlene in expensive clothing and she will have the same star power and attraction as Grace did. Wrong again! Basically, Albert and Charlene lived in a bubble and only saw themselves as portrayed by a self-selected sycophantic press which in had no connection to what they majority of the public saw them.

welcome peoplewatcher
when you've watched this trashy tranny as long as we have, it's impossible to feel empathy for them......revulsion and horror are the only emotions the non dynamic duo rouse in me.

www.dailymail.co.uk/home/you/article-2074494/Kate-Middleton-Prince-William-kiss-Body-language-royal-wedding.htmlJudi’s takeThe dramatic back-story to this wedding – with former Olympic swimmer Charlene rumoured to have tried to escape back home to South Africa amid claims her groom-to-be might have fathered a third love child – meant it was always going to be hard for the day itself to live up to the soap-opera hype, but the lovely Charlene’s blubbing did little to reassure everyone that this was a dream match set to last. If the rumours were true, then these royals could have set a new trend for splitting before the wedding rather than after. Of course, the bride could have been shedding tears of happiness here, but the joyful variety usually occur when the couple are face-to-face and they rarely involve a lowered head and hankie-dabbing, or a slightly stony expression from the groom. The unhappy-looking couple confirmed that they also spent the early days of their honeymoon apart for ‘practical reasons’.

It is unrealistic to think that Albert and Charlene have much say in what happens in their lives, including the wedding, and much more likely that Monaco's moneyed-interests pull the strings.
I wouldn't be surprised if most of the wedding details were arranged by a committee of older people who were trusted as long-time insiders, which would explain the staid formality and out-dated feeling of the whole affair. The idea of this wedding as an advertisement for potential tourists, and their relationship as an "investment" in Monaco's future, clearly backfired. All the paid bloggers in the world cannot change that.
Even if Albert and Charlene are being willfully naive about the realities they face, because they have little or no choice, they must know that others can see "the emperor has no clothes".

Didn't Charlene want to be famous for setting trends? She screwed her only chance...

People like pointing fingers, and Charlene is an easy target. But the bigger (economic and political) issues suggest that those who wield the power invested a lot of money in the match, and she, despite her pre-wedding flight, had no choice to dump and run. The pointlessness in blaming them is that she and Albert are merely pawns.

Welcome peoplewatcher! Interesting post. Who might have invested money into that match and why?? I mean - it was obvious before July that a girl without high school degree, without having learned a profession, a person that lives for five years in a country without learning the local language and without doing any work -short: without substance- will RUIN the image and economy of Monaco once she is made First lady and new role model. WHO had an interest in the scenario we see today?

Since you asked the question, I can't say "only God knows". :P
More seriously (if one believes that these conjectures and musings are serious), I don't know enough to be sure. It should be noted, though, that what you said of Charlene has also be said of a recent (not current) US president, so we may suppose that those truly in power are either hugely disappointed or well-served by these others' seeming ignorance.
