She has about as much warmth as an ice cube!

They look so formal and lifeless... No energy, no chemistry, no life

This is really sad. It used to be so much fun watching Caroline or Stephanie hand out the gifts. It looks like the kids got gift certificates or IOU's instead of gifts. This is just really really sad. There's no interaction at all. Even Albert used to love handing out the gifts. It's not even a successful PR opt if you ask me. JMO

Al's NOT wearing his wedding ring. I guess he forgot to put it back on when she got home after taking it off to play while she was away.

I miss Caroline, Alexandra, and Stephanie! It is just not the same. Does Charlene even know any of the children's names and do they all speak English so they can communicate with her? I find the snowman in the courtyard tacky. What happened to the Christmas tree?

It's all very dull. Even one of the mods at the sugah forum didn't like it. But, Charlene's number 1 fan and over the top sugah looney said that is not a family event, but an event of the Prince (omfg is she joking? IT IS a family event, moron!) that we have to get used to the idea that the others won't appear anymore because Al and Charlz will have their own family one day... makes me vomit, VOMIT! each day that passes, am more amazed of the stupidity of that especific looney.

What the heck? Did they give the children gift certificates? Or what??? No wonder why Caro and Steph did NOT want to show up! It used to be so great to see them giving them all those gifts!! The children were always smiling and so excited! Now, look at the poor kids, they look so lost - didn't know where to go or what to do. Weird! They are transforming everything into weird! Even an event so sweet, now is an event so weird!

Is it only my impression or is: - Albert attending more events together with Andrea - (and events of everyone else except of Charlene's) - and Caroline stays away from events with Charlene whenever she can Charlene is no integrative figure, she is driving a wedge into the family and the country! It's in her character. She is the exact opposite of what a Princess should be. THIS WAS a family event ... or better: it used to be

They look so formal and lifeless... No energy, no chemistry, no life That's exactly what I said when I first saw the photos. Something happen, something happened at the last minute and Albert is pretty good at putting on a show, but Charlene decided to put on a half show. Notice, they are not even doing the fake "look we are so in love because we are holding hands" performance. That fake smile of hers does not reach her eyes - you can see the sadness in her eyes. She has about as much warmth as an ice cube! And not just any ice cube, an ice cube that has been chopped up and put back together. Just look at how dead her eyes look.

I miss Caroline, Alexandra, and Stephanie! It is just not the same. Even before the engagement, Charlene has ALWAYS posted on the message boards that Caroline and her kids should go away and let Charlene be the center of attention. Seriously. I bet you anything thing something happened that involved a piss-match with Charlene. Let Albert see what Monaco will be like with his drag-queen looking dumb-as-a-rock wife the "star" and defining image of Monaco. Of course not! Look at the dumb puzzled look on her face in this photo. I bet you anything these kids are speaking to her in French. I do too. This is the first time that they have done it and since thtis is the first year that Charlene is now running the palace, I will bet you anything the tacky plastic snowman instead of the Christmas tree was her idea - part of the modernization of Monaco. This is something that I can easily see the high school drop-out doing as part of her modernization of Monaco plan.

Starting at Turin in February 2006, Albert made Charlene the defining image of who he is and who Monaco is. So, who's the biggest jackass in Monaco - that's right Albert raise your hand.

I agree with everything you all said. And the Santa is just terrible! Really tacky. And notice PA isn't wearing his ring! Having said all this - I do wish someone in the press would "cover" CW attending Sunday mass - especially when she is say - in South Africa! I mean, according to her brother, she is taking her new religion very seriously - so seriously, that she wouldn't dream of ever getting a divorce because divorce is against the Catholic religion. Just seems to me, that someone who has adopted this religion as seriously as CW claims to have, would most definitely attend Sunday mass - every Sunday - no matter what country she is visiting. Funny we haven't seen or heard of her her attending one Sunday mass anywhere.

The missing tree is a big clue to her religion. She has secularized the whole thing. Again unless I'm mistaken there are no gifts this year. Instead they look like gift cards to me. The joy of Christmas is the joy of giving --- her idea is gift cards? How about a little time in a soup kitchen. Kate and William are visiting a lot of charities next week, and not for the photo op. They are spending time there. For those who dislike Diana, this is one thing she got right with her boys. JMO

JMO Not having a tree this year is a big key to her religious beliefs - or lack of them, and her giving "gift cards to children" is saying a lot not only about her spirituality, but about her basic personality in general. Why would you give a gift card to a child. Even if it's a great gift card - you'd give a wonderful gift along with it so they'd have an actual present to open. So stupid.

The two do not have any chemistry. When I saw the pics I thought she was his secretary.
