And the last part of the full article from the above author Full article: www.thedailymaverick.co.za/article/2011-07-08-nearly-everything-you-need-to-know-about-prince-albert-iiWhen I say Albert II has the common touch, what I really mean is he likes to touch commoners. Nobility who behave like he did are called “playboys”; the unwashed who behave the same way are called “irresponsible douche bags”. Apparently they don’t know from condoms in Monaco, for the prince has knocked up several fair lasses. He is daddy to Jazmin Grace Grimaldi, born to a California woman, and Alexandre Costa, sired through a liaison with an air stewardess from Togo. After paternity tests, the citizens of Monaco now pay child support for two bastards. DNA’s a bitch.
The rest of the story, you probably know. It has a South African angle in Charlene Wittstock, she of the shoulders, who on the 1 July became a real-life princess. The couple was first seen together at the 2006 Torino Olympic Games and were engaged last year. Wittstock was once a competitive swimmer, but since she bagged a prince it’s been elocution lessons, finishing school and French classes, to better scrub the Rhodie out of her. (She was born in Zimbabwe, and moved here when she was 11.) Theirs was the second royal wedding of this busy, busy year, and suffered media-wise because of it. What a shindig it was, though. Apparently the smoked salmon canapés were to die for.
Thus ends this parsing of the life and times of a prince. I should probably add all his charitable work here, but I’m not up for it. (He’s big on bluefin tuna, which is all I’ll say about that.) We here at Daily Maverick wish the beautiful couple the best of all things. Now, we’ll go back to our version of playing the Monaco slots: kissing frogs. Just ask Charlene—those princes bank some cash!

And therein lies the gruesome problem, because obviously the latter, clear as day, the child was conceived during the Prince’s relationship with the poor Charlene. The Prince, if the event turns out to be true, is anything but incapable to generate, being endowed with formidable and infallible reproductive capabilities worthy of vigorous plebeian loins. The bets are more than up about what Charlene will decide to do, if her husband’s umpteenth paternity turns out to be true and once absolved from her duties as wife and mother of the dynasty. Judging by the warm encouragements that can be seen on specialized international websites, especially on women’s side, many are expecting her to take a strong and definitive stand, with an immediate abandonment of the "Ruritania on the beach" set between the South of France and rocky Ligurian coast.
Charlene, sweet but with a strong discipline like any self-respecting professional athlete, will know well how to act, taking into full account the consequences given the delicate role that she has been called on to fill in the complex and dynamic change that the reign of the Grimaldi is facing today. Whatever happens, she will hold perfectly the position and the role covered for decades by the blonde and poised Princess Grace, a heraldic icon more than any royal-born and of right of birth, and true passport of the deliverance and of the real economic, social, and cultural boom of the Principality in the ‘50s on a universal level: not trivial thing. Thanks Mr.Plow. Sorry, to tell you this Vogue - but Charlene is NO role model for women! Charlene is only a role model to other gold diggers and bird brains like herself. I suspect women with brains - who know nothing about the real scheming pathological liar Charlene - can see straight through this woman and why she decided to marry, thus she is no role model to most women.

Silence... ;D Actually, Vogue (this is the Italian Vogue) may be done promoting the fairy tale love story, but they are still promoting the con artist Charlene - at least in this posted article.

They still want their reporter to be on call for "poor Charlene". You know she has him (and the Bunte reporter and others) on speed dial.

The real newspapers have already written too much. The gossip magazines are not following... they follow the schedule... Next week they will follow the real world. Let's see how much money Albert still want to give for the I love ... nonsense.

That's hard stuff!!! www.sueddeutsche.de/D5938p/104705/Splitterwoche.html"Süddeutsche" is a daily German newspapers with a very good reputation. It titles SPLITTERWOCHEN - a wordplay with split up and honeymoon, one might translate "split-up moon". The article doesn't give any new facts, but combines the infos of the past weeks in a way that leads to the final sentence of the article: The wedding gown is now exhibited in the Oceonographic Museum about the history of the marriage: Yes, in a way it appears to us this marriage is already history.AND it titles, if Charlene wasn't lying when she said she is happy - this can be regarded as THE BIGGEST PR-DISASTER of royals in honeymoon EVER.It sais, that the strange behaviour during and after the wedding and in S.A. (loveless kisses, different hotels, different cars ect) MAKE SENSE in the context of the reported problems shortly before the wedding. Very strong statements in one of the most respected German newspapers! And THAT IS a PR-Disaster. ps: "Süddeutsche" is read by the kind of people that are important for Monaco - on many levels. All the others read BUNTE ;D HEY MONACO- DIDN'T YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR IMAGE ?

OMG, this is SO FUNNY we predicted all of this! We said if Albert goes through with this loveless fake marriage, he and Monaco will be the laughing stock of the world. We were right!

The irony is that for an entire year Albert, Charlene, and the whole of Monaco bragged otherwise!

entertainment.inquirer.net/5580/tale-of-two-iconic-princessesQuote from the above article: “But, Prince Albert’s choice is another story entirely: His bride, Charlene, is a blonde beauty very much like his mother. An achiever in her own right as a former swimmer in the Olympics, Charlene has more obviously subsumed her personality to suit Grace’s ethereal ethos. In terms of “projection,” in fact, she looks like Albert ordered her from Central Casting – (“Get me my mother’s most perfect clone, please!”) – and Central Casting delivered.” Does not sound like a compliment to me.

Never the word clone came as a compliment and the please in the end is just pathetic! Subsumed? Very well and politely put...

www.spiegel.de/spam/0,1518,774584,00.html Apart from Süddeutsche even Spiegel Online - a serious magezin - is having a fieldday with those two. Click through all the 14 headings. It is hilarious and short enough to be translated correctly by leo.org. Süddeutsche is right. This is a PR failure hardly ever seen before. They should not have tried to sell this princely love in the first place. If you have a such a PR crew you do not need enemies.

If only the whole thing were a funny joke but, instead it is a bad and tasteless joke.
