How about this: simply stay in South Africa when you fly there now! With a big party: free Charlene! She is after all, the lead of the Born Free foundation, LOL

Even though she is not "smart" - there are plenty of things she could have learned! Plenty. Of course French is the obvious thing. She didn't need to learn enough to read philosophy in French. She didn't need to know enough to read medical books and poetry. But she certainly has enough intelligence to have learned basi, elementary French conversation! She didn't need to actually even get a degree - or take a test - just go to some classes or have private tutors. Learn to play the piano - just the basics even. SOMETHING!!! Exactly! She could have at the very least learned the language. French is not that difficult. Mary learned Danish and that is quite difficult. Even Diana -- not the brightest intellectual bulb during her school years -- learned enough about some things to become conversant about them. Charlene did this to herself!

OMG, even the Monaco media is admitting that they did not get the HUGE viewership udience that they had bragged and predicted about. Well, kind of admitting. It's hard for me to tell from the tone of this article if they bragging of the total number of viewers are of the share of viewership of France 2 (butt kisser Stephane bern hosted) over France's TF1. From their numbers, then around 7.5 million people from France and Monaco watched this wedding (don't know what percentage of the 5 hours of broadcasting does a viewer have to watch to include them in the total number). Is this a success? From Monaco Telecom (I'm sure Google's translation of the title is not quite accurate):
Cathodic wedding: France 2 is the pill TF1
By B. Ulrich July 4, 2011
This weekend, most were able to Monaco to attend the wedding of Prince with the beautiful Charlene on the Palace Square or in front of giant screens positioned in the city. But the ceremony was also followed around the world through the dissemination of the event by many TV channels, particularly French. TF1 and France 2 had come out the heavy artillery, and as for the marriage of William and Kate, France 2 has literally pushed the A in terms of audience. Despite the backing of Jean-Pierre Foucault and Nikos Aliagas the next Jean-Claude Narcy, Stéphane Bern Druker and City Hall were attended by 4.2 million viewers, 33.5% of audience share according to Médiamétrie. On TF1, the program has a federated average of 2.9 million viewers to 19.45, or 23.3% of the public. Blame it on a train called the Tour de France broadcast just before the French public service, but also a tone a little less agreed. TMC, in tandem with Monaco Info has attracted only 350,000 viewers, or 2.6% of the public despite an aerial socket unparalleled five hours.

I guess a lot of people did what I did. I gave myself three days off and decided - by not watching tv at all - not to take part in that freak show. The "highlights" of that event which I watched Sunday night were more than proof that my decision was a good one. I am glad I have not wasted more than 15 minutes of my lifetime to watch this. Hope I will not regret those 15 minutes.
It was fun though to witness a bridgegroom - scrubbed clean like a piglet - to attempt some kisses.
The bride needs practice in French, the bridegroom needs practice in how to kiss. They show at least the same unwillingness to learn and improve.

MyaDia ^
They need to poll those who did watch to see how many did so to see if the bride would show up. Or the groom. Based upon the press at the time, this was a wedding that had some suspense, would they actually say "I do"? Would the baby mamas show up? Would a seven year-old run down that long aisle screaming 'Daddy! Daddy! Where's my daddy?' and then run up to Albert. There could have been a show to see, but it actually was quite boring and most people acting as if they were at a funeral. You didn't miss anything, Elektra.

Here's a piece which aired this morning on NBC's Today Show ... another re-hash of "... are they happy ... why didn't they smile ... did she really try to run-away?" HOWEVER, this one has a few lines spoken with one of the Pastor's! Now the story is that the couple just had an argument prior to the wedding. Oy vey! Enjoy! today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/vp/43630005#43630005 as you can see from the pictures, there have been clouds over Monaco since Friday, well actually already on Thursday. and if we count Wednesdays thunderstorm.... as I am writing this it has started to rain again. They should take that as an omen...

if you consider that Bern was rejoicing that the runawaybride would boost viewer numbers, how low would the numbers have been if they did not get the extra viewers? I suspect they would have to take about 20% off.

From my daughter's favorite blogger: www.dlisted.com/2011/07/04/charlene-wittstock-really-didnt-want-marry-prince-alberts-whore-assCharlene Wittstock Really didn't want to Marry Prince Albert's Whore-ass As us Americans celebrate our independence from the aliens (or whoever, I was dozed off during that part of National Holiday class) today, Princess Charlene of Monaco is mourning the loss of hers. We've already heard about how days before Charlene Wittstock married Prince Albert, she got her passport taken away when she tried to flee to her native South Africa. But now the media is saying that Charlene tried to quit that bitch not once, not once, but three times. A source tells the French newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche (via Metro) that Charlene even crawled off to the South African embassy in Monaco to beg them to hide her in a laundry basket and wheel her far far away from Prince Albert, but they shook their heads no. When Charlene was caught trying to escape for the third time, Prince Albert made her some kind of offer, which she agreed to. 'Several sources have even confirmed that an arrangement was reached between the future bride and groom.' The couple are due to fly to South Africa on honeymoon on this week, presenting Charlene with her best chance yet of escaping Monaco. Prince Albert faces a DNA test over claims he fathered a third illegitimate child, the palace confirmed. A royal official said that both the illegitimate children were kept away from Albert's marriage so as to avoid 'media exposure.' Even though Prince Albert's shooting secret love children out of his peen like he's a proud graduate of Lil' Wayne's anti-condom university, none of them can claim the throne because they were birthed out of wedlock. So some hos are saying that Prince Albert wants Princess Charlene to give birth to the next king or queen of Monaco before he unlocks her handcuffs. The royals in Monaco don't do shit, right? They just put on a prince and princess costume and wave at their subjects from a balcony? They have about as much ruling power as the prince charming dildo I've had my eye (and other parts) on. So imprisoning a South African woman because they believe she will give them the perfect-looking heir apparent is taking this monarchy shit way too seriously. Monaco should just do what Disneyland does when they need a fake prince to wave at their guests from a balcony: hold a casting call and hire the prettiest gay with the shiniest hair and whitest teefs! And they only have to pay him with minimum wage and a couple of free guest passes.

Assuming these two idiots have a son and he assumes the throne in the future, how on earth will he ever get any respect when the press and everyone will rehash how his parents came together? His mother was 'held hostage' and forced to marry his dad. At the same time, his dad is impregnating every woman in the south of France. His mother had her face redone to match his late grandmother's because of some fetish of his father's? If you tried to sell this story as a movie, you would get horrible reviews because it would just be too off the wall. These two clowns need to go; they have passed their expiration date.

That is what I say all the time: WHY DO THEY NEED A HEIR??? Not under this circumstances - it only backfires like everything Albert+Charlene touch and do together...

www.promicabana.de/charlene-wittstock-fuerst-albert-hochzeit-gedraengt/...uuuuuppss: Thanks to Charlenes run-away-story and the mysterious "contract" which is said to have been signed (5,5 Mio, to stay for a period of time after the wedding) ... German media already start speculating whether the weddnig is valid. Article says it is more and more impossible to believe in a love story here. If Charlene would have left before the wedding the damage to Monaco's image would have been huge. So it is well possible that she got paid to go through the ceremonies. (But now the damage is not much smaler... ) AND if it comes out that it was no "Oui" of nothing but love but because of money paid according to a contract whichs ink has not even dried before the ceremony it might be a reason for anullment. ooouutch ;D! wouldn't that be a great price for a gold digger? And a lesson hopefully hard enough for Albert to learn...?

WOW - the previous article I mentioned is refering to BILD! (What happened to Malte Biss???) www.bild.de/unterhaltung/royals/fuerst-albert-2/wurde-die-hochzeit-mit-einem-vertrag-erzwungen-18681984.bild.htmlFürst Albert & Charlene Hochzeit mit einem Vertrag „erzwungen“? Ist die Ehe zwischen Fürst Albert (53) von Monaco und seiner Charlène Wittstock (33) „arrangiert“? Laut Medienberichten wurde sie zur Heirat gedrängt. Were Charlene (33) and Albert (53) forced to go through the wedding due to a contract? Is is an "arranged" marriage? According to some media she was pushed into this marriage.Die seriöse französische Zeitung „Journal du Dimanche“ berichtet über ein unfassbares Gerücht: Nach dem Charlene versucht habe, sich über die südafrikanische Botschaft in ihre Heimat abzusetzen, soll ihr Albert einen Vertrag vorgelegt haben, der sie zur Heirat verpflichtete. The French Newspaper "Journal du Dimanche", which has a good reputation, informs about an incredible rumor: After Charlene's attempt to go back to South Africa via the S.A. ambassy in Paris Albert showed her a contract according to which she is obligated to go through the wedding.Die „Sunday Times“ spekuliert, sie sei „mit Geld zur Unterschrift überredet“ worden, um die für den Kleinstaat Monaco wichtige Hochzeit nicht zu gefährden. The "Sunday Times" speculates that Charlene was "persuaded with a certain amount of money to sign a contract" in order to not cancel the wedding which was so important for the image of Monaco. Das konservative, spanische Blatt „El Mundo“ geht noch weiter: Dort ist auch von einer „Schweigeklausel“ die Rede und davon, dass Charlene sich zu „fünf Ehejahren“ verpflichtet habe. The conservative spanish newspaper "El Mundo" goes even further, writing that Charlene has obligated herself to "stay married five years" and signed a "confidential agreement".Im Falle einer vorzeitigen Trennung bekäme Albert das Sorgerecht, Charlene verlöre ihren Titel, es stünde ihr nur eine kleine Abfindung zu. In case of an (earlier?) divorce Albert would get the child custody, Charlene would loose her title and get only a small pay-off.Heikel: Falls diese Gerüchte stimmen, wäre die Heirat nach katholischem Kirchenrecht ungültig, könnte jederzeit annuliert werden. Delicate: If these rumors are true this marriage would be invalid according to catholic law and could be annuled every minute.

Monaco law might see that differently, but the catholic wedding might be invalid. That of course in case of divorce and a remarriage they could argue that any heirs with CW would not be legit, as the constitution leaves a tiny loophole to interpretation. It does not explicitly require a Catholic wedding, just a legal wedding. But on the other hand Catholic faith is state religion so they can argue that a legal wedding would only be a valid Catholic wedding

Malte Biss? He probably is smoldering in one of the Bild dungeons for reporters who failed to bring home the real story ;D He will probably seek refuge with Bunte. There he can group therapy with the creepy guy sniffing cashmere sweaters sent by trashy...

Good we have you on board with your knowledge of Monaco's rules ... both written and unwritten . Sittenwidrig is "contra bonos mores" - I just had www.leo.org open helping me to translate the BILD article Well ... probably nobody among the posters knows more than the papers report, do we ??, but there are too many sources speaking about these "five years" and about money and a contract. Albert once said he loves Hitchcock ... but maybe we all didn't assume how much ;D. I thought I have to burry Monaco 2. July but: Es bleibt spannend - the suspense continues (or how would you translate this ?)
