I try to write a little introduction and give a summary before i post these interviews, but I am running of new things to say. I think I covered all these major sentiments already. Desperate. Pathetic. Stilted. Moronic. Gerd writes an article explaining the setup of the interview and the most hilarious thing is how Stahl handles thiese interviews. These interviews wre really run like an assembly line. I will say that this German guy Gerd can give Stephane Bern a run for his money in the art of ass-kissing. Albert does try to actually do some type of body touch to show that he loves Chalrene, but we have to settle for ass-kisser Gerd's word and description of it. Here's the link to the WZ German article that explains the setup of the interview.Can any of out German posters possible please give us a runb down of this Gerd Niewerth. What is his reputation like? I cannot tell in some instances in the interview if he is seriously fawning over them, or is he trying to slyly insult them.
 Guest in the salon mirror: Seven Minutes with Albert and Charleneby Gerd Niewerth 14 June 2011
In the sumptuous private apartments of the Prince's Palace Monaco - Grace Kelly is ubiquitous - Dedication of the Pope
Düsseldorf / Monaco. "Good morning, how are you?" Prince Albert II greets me at the interview in flawless German. A nice touch."He loves Germany", tells me later, the press officer of the Grimaldi Palace. An affection that goes back mainly to the German roots of his mother, Grace Kelly, Princess Grace of Monaco. Her mother Margaret Majer was born into a family from Lake Constance at the end of the 19thCentury America after emigrating.
Speaking of Grace Kelly, Albert's mother met the famous visitors to the Prince's Palace everywhere - here, souvenir photos and black and white portraits, where marble busts and large screens. So also in the magnificent "Mirror Salon," which they have chosen for the interview.

Prince Albert II of Monaco and his fiancee Charlene Wittstock.
Entering the sight of a painting from 1956 that depicts the young princess in perfect beauty with a tiara in her shiny blond hair and white dress strapless floor-length, to the red and white sash and medals of the State.
The interview with Albert and Charlene's exclusive - and due to popular demand from all over the world, unfortunately, very short: only seven minutes. And in English. It wants the record - probably mainly out of respect for Charlene Wittstock, although eager to learn French, but in the new country's language is still not fully fit.
We sit on the precious "Louis XV" chairs, which are situated in the middle of "Mirror Hall".Coincidence or not: For now, the interview and subsequent photo shoots wearing "Mademoiselle Charlene Wittstock," says their official designation of the court, in light beige trousers and a gold metal top that shines just like the gilded stucco.
The elegant "salon mirror" is one of the private apartments of princes. The wedding photo of Rainier III. and Princess Grace was born here, and from here the Grimaldi family care in important ceremonial occasions the Monegasque welcomed. So even after the civil ceremony, which takes place in the throne room the night before the church wedding.
The interview: a tight race against the clock. "One minute," admonishes me Christiane Stahl, Albert consultant who has to wake up with unrelenting severity the fact that the tight schedule of the couple this morning do not get out of control. When all questions are asked, Albert and Charlene rise to the common memory picture. In addition there is a packaged coffee cup in red ribbons, one of the official wedding souvenirs, with the initials "AC" and the gold crown.
And then - so much time must still be - the prince permitted a short shop talk among football fans. Prince Albert II raves from the Arena in Gelsenkirchen, where his club AS Monaco in 2004 was against Porto in the Champions League final and unfortunately lost 0-3. This year it was tough as nails: The seven-time French champions is surprisingly relegated to the second division. "But we come back," promised me when Monaco's top football fan going out.
Back you go back through the "Garden Room", a kind of anteroom of the "mirror salon". Particularly striking: the many photos of John Paul II, even a very personal, handwritten dedication to the silver wedding of Rainier III. and Princess Grace in 1981 here.
No wonder: the relationship between the Principality and the Vatican are particularly close. On the large tapestries on the wall, because "Juvante Deo" - "With God's help": the famous slogan of the Grimaldi family. On the other tables photographs of prominent guests of the Palace: Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, former Federal President Richard von Weizsäcker is.
Below me in the courtyard of the royal guard is proving a jagged "Compagnie des Carabiniers" the honor by accepting military bearing and a friendly greeting. I smile back and say: "Adieu".

Monaco does not have wedding fever, only Christiane, Charlene, and Albert Brasi. He does not good French saying Adieu that means goodbye forever...or does he mean that was his last contact to CW and PA.

Here's the link to the actual interview in German. The interviewer Gerd niewerth wants us to know how happy and in love Albert and Charlene are. According to him, Albert makes a lovingly gesture toward Charlene. Perhaps a German poster can translate that question and answer better. Oh, please note how Charlene skirts around the question about has she conquered the heart of the Monaco people. I don't understand her answer! This is why I wanted to know more about the interview Gerd. Is he trying to slyly find out more info by first kissing her butt than try to find the real information?
Albert and Charlene exclusive: "Children? Many! But first get married "
Conducted by Gerd Niewerth
14 June 2011
Monaco before the dream wedding: On 1 July marries Albert II, the ex-Olympian Charlene Wittstock. In an interview with the tool to be both relaxed.
Monaco / Düsseldorf. no trace of nervousness and stress: Although the preparations for the dream wedding at the first and second July is in full swing there, in the Prince's Palace of Monaco, a relaxed atmosphere. The two main actors, Prince Albert II and his fiancee Charlene Wittstock, the future "Princesse de Monaco," this morning are the rest themselves loose and relaxed during the interview, the couple presented with the tool.
While the prince is always laid back for a joke, as already occurs Charlene Wittstock, the "first lady" of the Principality on with great dignity and a strong shot of confidence. It is obvious: Albert and Charlene are a happy couple who fell during the interview repeatedly throwing glances.
Mrs. Wittstock, in a few days you will marry Prince Albert II and Princess of Monaco. Do you sometimes feel like a fairy tale?
Charlene Wittstock: Well, children, it might seem like just like a fairy tale. But what concerns me even: No, I do not live in a fairy tale, but in the midst of reality. We will marry as other couples and also have a future together.
Ceremonial, protocol, etiquette - you have no fear of living in a golden cage?
Charlene: No, absolutely not. The protocol is absolutely necessary and I find no way of representing a burden. . .
Albert: . . . our protocol is also not exactly known for being particularly strict. There is a lightness, we want to preserve.
"Royal Highness married a commoner" - which is currently very popular. Is it also a kind of life insurance monarchies?
Albert: Frankly, I like the word "civil" not at all, I've never felt so good. . .
Charlene: (wink). . . I'm an Olympian and finally. . .
Albert: I think that there is nothing unusual for two people - no matter what background they have - to come together.
They both have German roots, which are your feelings toward Germany and Germans?
Albert: I'm proud of my German heritage, the mother is slightly more pronounced. In Germany, every time I feel accepted and welcome wonderful.
Your Highness, please tell our readers what you love about your future wife especially.
Albert II: She's a very generous and patient person who understands how to approach people.
And what they love the princes?
(Albert pressed together in their reply, the eyes and covers her ears with her index fingers.)
Charlene: It is also very generous and charming. Albert is the most wonderful person I've met my life. He is loving and loyal - loyal to his friends, his country and his people. That no one can surpass.
Mrs. Wittstock, you are among people in the principality very popular. As you have conquered the hearts of Monaco?
Charlene: I am now beginning to discover the right people in the principality. I succeed much better than we did in the early years. Since then I feel like a big family. But South Africa remains a part of me.
How will you celebrate with the Monaco wedding?
Albert: There will be a great family festival, the whole city will celebrate with us.
After the wedding, the Principality of you expecting an heir. How many children do you want?
Charlene: Many! I love children. But: As far as we are currently not yet, let's get married only once!
Albert: I do not know if it's right after the wedding should be, but the offspring will come.

LOL they really are giving interviews to everyone now. Who reads Westdeutsche Zeitung? Stahl really has no idea about her job or just doesn't get the big and important media to publish about this. So ridiculous. ANd of course a little insignificant provincial journalist is flattered to be invited and pampered by the MC press office. You can bet that the press office is paying for the trip. So just add all these interviews to the wedding costs, plus the advertising they have to place with them

Can someone please better translate this question and response - I am denying to know why Charlene is winking. The Google translation does not make much sense.
"Royal Highness married a commoner" - which is currently very popular. Is it also a kind of life insurance monarchies?
Albert: Frankly, I like the word "civil" not at all, I've never felt so good. . .
Charlene: (wink). . . I'm an Olympian and finally. . .
Albert: I think that there is nothing unusual for two people - no matter what background they have - to come together.
"Königliche Hoheit heiratet eine Bürgerliche" - das ist momentan sehr populär. Ist es auch eine Art Lebensversicherung für Monarchien?
Albert: Offengestanden mag ich das Wort "Bürgerliche" überhaupt nicht, ich habe mich damit nie wohl gefühlt. . .
Charlene: (augenzwinkernd). . . und schließlich bin ich eine Olympionikin . . .
Albert: Ich finde, dass es überhaupt nichts Ungewöhnliches ist, wenn zwei Menschen - egal, welchen Hintergrund sie haben - zusammen kommen wollen.

No wonder why this guy s even writes an article describing the setup , the room and every photos in the room. He seemed like a small town hick. Paca, I am sure the larger more serious newspapers and magazines probably did not wan to agree with the palace major terms - pre-submitted questions. I am sorry, but most serious news agencies will NOT agree to this term because the interview then becomes a joke and nothing but a PR promotion for the palace. I remember a few years ago a Belgium journalist blew he whistle on Prince Philippe's demand that the reporter submitted his questions in advance and then the Prince will submit his answers in writing. This is even worse than what Albert and Charlene is doing - but Prince Philippe was ridiculed for these demands and confirmed as a lightweight. |

seems like Albert is backpedaling in the kids question too funny how their answers are shifting: first he was all for kids and she said, give us a break, now she says many and he says not right after the wedding but they will come eventually. Add to that the switch in attitude in front of the camera then really I think that there is sth going on....I'm witing for the straw that'll break the camels back..... |

I tried Systranet translation www.systranet.com/translate and here is it.
“Royal sovereignty marries a civil one” - that is momentarily very popular. Is it also a kind life insurance for monarchies? Albert: Open I do not like the word “civil one” at all, I with it never felt well. ….Charlene: (eyewinked)… and I am finally an Olympic athlete….Albert: I find that it is nothing at all unusual, if two humans - no matter, who background they have - together to come to want."Königliche Hoheit heiratet eine Bürgerliche" - das ist momentan sehr populär. Ist es auch eine Art Lebensversicherung für Monarchien? Albert: Offengestanden mag ich das Wort "Bürgerliche" überhaupt nicht, ich habe mich damit nie wohl gefühlt. . .

This is even worse than what Albert and Charlene is doing - but Prince Philippe was ridiculed for these demands and confirmed as a lightweight. that's not unusual either. Politicians often do that with not so important journalists or if they don't want to talk to the media directly for some reason. The media does accept that to a certain degree, but they will usually let their readers know in some way. There is also the practice of having the interview approved after writing it down.That's why I never understood how Stahl could let the ALex disaster happen. PM did contact the palace before going public and she did nothing to protect her boss. After that she should have been fired and sent to the other end of the world, because that was utter and complete incompetence. And this wedding circus just keeps proving me right in what I have written about her years ago. |

After that she should have been fired and sent to the other end of the world, because that was utter and complete incompetence. And this wedding circus just keeps proving me right in what I have written about her years ago. Every single thing his PR has done since Albert has taken over, has been the complete opposite of how Albert should have handled everything. It could not have been worse! This women is beyond incompetent! I think the reason this women as tried to keep Charlene there, is because any other woman Albert might date might have half a brain, and be smart enough to get rid of her tout de suite! What other women would allow themselves to act like that w/o any discretion. What kind of women would let themselves be whored out -and so publicly! How is Albert suppose to find a decent woman that would put up with that! Albert should have had Stahl's head years and years ago! She is the worse! The thing is I never knew if Albert was doing what he thought was right and they were going a long with it, which is not a good PR person! But the fact that Albert obviously was not into Charlene enough to marry her much earlier, and now has relented, it has to do with someone else finally successful at twisting his arm! Paca, usually the media only gives them a day warning. There isn't too much they can do about it by then, but prey and to try to prepare the best reaction. I think what Albert said when he recognized Alex was perfect and also how he opened the door for the other announcement was handled very well also--they should have left it at that. Everyone knew what was coming with Jazmin, so it was no big deal when she was finally outed. In some ways the fact that the announcement of both kids was almost like one event helped Albert. I really think it was not that much of a big deal and they should have not freaked out about it and gone to the bazaar extreme, never mind that it was the exact opposite of what he needed, and even if it had been bad for awhile for him (it wasn't), after a little time and Albert behaving like a good statesman and keeping his personal life private like an adult it would have blown over instead of keeping the fir alive that Albert has a problem with bimbos. Marrying one isn't going to help that image--it cements it forever and ruins the image and economy of a country. Those PR people should be strung up! |

Re: winking
I think the winking implies (maybe a joke between the two) that Charlene is somehow superior to a commoner - she is an olympian.
The way WC comes across in this interview is quite confident and a bit arrogant.

Re: winking I think the winking implies (maybe a joke between the two) that Charlene is somehow superior to a commoner - she is an olympian. The way WC comes across in this interview is quite confident and a bit arrogant. I made a comment in another thread about this. IMO the Wittstocks are racists that came to SA because of apartheid, to feel superior to someone. Her pointing out her participating at the olympics is trying to rub in that she is better then others, when indeed if she had been in a different country she would not have made it to the Olympics. SHe never raced against van Almsick, even in her worst times. She never came near Dara Torres apart from catching a glimpse if she was luchy in the locker rooms. Swimming is not an SA sport. Rugby is. And soccer for the poor black population. Hence her interest in Rugby and the lack of interest in soccer. It has nothing to do with sport, but everything with race. And if you looked closely, you will probably be hard pressed to find black SA swimmers and black SA friends of trashy invited to the wedding...She only refers to Mandela because it is PC and that way she can deflect from her and her family's all white attitude. Why do you think all her family wants to come here? Why is her father putting Benoni down? They are careful enough not to put it in the open, but if push comes to shove they will show their feathers. And trashy knows that Albert is not at all prejudiced in that way. I wonder how it will go down when he finds out who she really is. Some of the people I spoke to and who considered her cruel were from Cashmere and Morocco. They are really nice and friendly people. One of them comes from a very good and educated family back home. And this highschool drop out treated him as if he wasn't worth the dirt under fingernails. |

Paca, Charlene's father is very much a racist - his past affiliation with the then Rhodesian army affirms this for me. When blacks regain rule over Rhodesia - he took his family to South Africa. He gave Albert his Rhodesian army jacket as a wedding gift. Albert is too stupid to realize how racist Charlene can be because Charlene is a con artist and she knows how to play the "Oh, I just love black South Africans" part around Albert. At the Ladies Lunch 5th Gala she cried when a black South African sang a song for her - singing how much they love Charlene. Charlene creis very easily and people like Albert tend to think the tears are a sign of sincereity and honesty. Charlene was a mastermind in playing the Mandela card to endear herself to Albert. But, the "Mandela inspired me to return to swimming" sob story is a big fat lie! But as always, Conlene got away with this lie because no one challenged her on it or anything thing she says. Charlene even changed elemements of her Mandela lie after reading comments that I made which shiowed why her story was untrue.
How Charlene held the black baby at the orhanage proved to me that she is not confortable around these children. Also on a message board, she called Nicole sewage - you know the type of sewage that her father uses as an excuse to move to the life of luxury with his con artist daughter in Monaco.
Trust me, Charlene will have black South Africans at the wedding performing and in Durban. she is now the African Princess so she has to play the part of how much she loves all Africans.
But, there is a god and one day this big lying narcissistic con artist will be exposed - and unfortunately she will take Monaco down with her when she falls from grace.

makes you wonder what she would do if she was told that she was pregnant with a special Olympics child....considering ALbert's age and her substance abuse, their chances are higher then average.

Re: winking I think the winking implies (maybe a joke between the two) that Charlene is somehow superior to a commoner - she is an olympian. The way WC comes across in this interview is quite confident and a bit arrogant. Thanks for explaining Electra. I could not understand why she mentioned that she was an Olympian. It did not seem to have anything to do with the topic being discussed. She mentions being in the Olympics, training for the Olympics, dreaming of the Olympics, so much, she needs to pay them a licensing fee. It's pathological. The racism of the Wittstocks, this will really hurt Albert in the future. If you are around someone as much as he should have been Charlene, things like this become evident over time. |
