I just watched the entire clip and I must say that I've never seen her more "tranny-like" than she appears in that clip. Her charity work? Give me a break? And JB should be smarter than to repeat those myths -- she's wonderful girl. Who is he kidding?!

How on Earth anyone with a good eyesight could say that this woman is beautiful and resembles Grace. Am I blind? Look at that thing that is suppose to be her butt. And her lips in the video What is that all about? She looks like she has under-bite. Just grotesque!

And JB should be smarter than to repeat those myths -- she's wonderful girl. Who is he kidding?! He drank the Kool-aid, or he's trying to uphold the Kelly name and so went along with this road-trip/circus to try an preserve it. What else can he say? What he's really thinking? The Kelly's did like having a Princess in the family and thus added to the Kelly mystique. Poor JK he's still got his rose-colored glasses on. Once he committed to the trip he was required to drink the Kool-aid even if he thinks this whole thing is a disaster. Albert has pulled the whole family down. Someone please send him on an extremely long arctic expedition with no press coverage, and take wifey with him. JMO.

Charlene is fortunate to have the support of Albert's cousin because John Kelly, who is also the President of Albert's American branch of his foundation, sings her praises. Charlene's doppelganger did boast about how much Albert's American cousins just love her - and I didn't believe her. I should have because Charlene is very good - a pro - at playing the loving girlfriend/now wife/now victim. What's obvious when you hear John speak about Charlene's difficulties transitioning is that Charlene does to him what she does with Stephanie - cried on his shoulders about people not liking her. It's always other's people faults which causes them, not to like the pure likable Charlene who only wants to love Albert and Monaco. What's also obvious from this interview is that John clearly did not get the memo about the spin that the flunkies and Albert and Charlene themselves put out about Charlene's wedding tears (they were happy tears and they were because she was moved by the singing) and how everyone in Monaco loved Charlene! (the flunkies swear to this) Can someone please explain to John that the comparison with Grace not being liked with Charlene not being liked is really not the same. Charlene is not liked because of specific characteristics of her actions, behavior, and attitude. John himself stated that Grace was not liked in the beginning but that soon changed, but hello John: Charlene has been living in Monaco full time for 5 entire years and people still do not like her! Thanks John for confirming what we Royal Opinioners already knew but Charlene's flunkies are still trying to deceive people in believing the opposite: Charlene is not liked in Monaco! Also, when will Charlene's excusers face the cold hard truth that there are legitimate reasons why the people in Monaco do like this woman? ? Albert and the flunkies who surround him are the ones who need to wake up and see the truth not the people in Monaco. Also, can someone please tell Charlene's suckers that it is not that Charlene is having a difficult time transitioning it is that Charlene has stated herself that she will not transition (and she cannot). Good lawd people, when will you see this woman for the con artist that she is? My transcript of John's comments - which I find the best part of the video
John (1:51): She’s a difficulty transition and uh I think Charlene’s doing a wonderful job at it. Uh, I think one of the things that’s helpful is and I, I try to remind her of it is uh how difficulty it was for Grace at the beginning. Because after a couple of years, they loved her there and uh uh a great relationship
Reporter’s over voice: …and much was made of her tears on her wedding day
John (2:39): Well, it was just a lot of pressure. A lot of pressure and uh it was a you know a very big event. We all responded to pressure differently so. I just hope that people will let Charlene be who she is and she is great so
sounds like John is not the brightest light either. Considering the few simple sentences he had to say, there is a lot of uh and incorrect English. Are we to deduce from this that the 3rd generation of Kellys is intellectually challenged and has a speech disability? My kids speak better English then that. Or did he have difficulties lying in public? Honestly these people make me really wonder by their offspring, if the parents were not highly overrated.

This advertisement for Monaco appeared in magazines when Prince Albert first started dating Charlene. It seems as if she had been looked at as a potential wife for Albert for many years leading up to their engagement. The advertisement is a combination of the face of Grace and Charlene. I noticed the same thing at the time, it made me ill , plus the color of her hair, as was Charlene's at the time, is totally cheap. This ad reminds me of one of those bleached white haired, dark spray tanned, caked make-up, horrible looking ballroom dancers, and I don't mean dancing with the stars. You know the ones I mean--those hard tranny looking woman. I can't believe that anyone could think that's attractive. I have to admit at the time when I saw the ad, I thought maybe that is sadly what Monaco really is now, and Albert is just playing to the tacky crowd of the people there.... people with more money than class, so he got a tacky golddigger wife to represent what Monaco really has become--in that way I guess Charlene could be considered representative of what Monaco is about now, but if Albert wanted to play to THAT crowd, then I don't know what in the world he thinks he was accomplishing going to the Oscars, as if any A-listers want to be connected to his tacky golddigger wife, and the complete fool he has made himself into, or the creepy tacky image of Monaco as nothing but Golddigger Grifter Haven? People may not realize it, but the entertainment industry really is an industry where people are expected to pay their dues, no matter how much money one might have, you really can't buy your way in, and as Joan Rivers says, you can only sleep your way to the middle! ;D

I can tell you that's not a very posh SA accent . She really needs to cut her hair, it looks terrible long, she need to go back to the bob-was she wearing a bumpit? ;D OK. I know I am sounding caddy here, but I thought when I saw her dress, one it is not flattering on her, but I thought she is the last person that needs exaggerated shoulder pads, but then I thought were there shoulder pads, seriously are those her own shoulders? I usually don't say anything, but I really thought she looked like she was wearing some kind of stars wars looking puffed up shoulder treatmenet, was she?

I've been trying to tell everyone this for years now, and "many" people were not shy in telling me just how nuts I was ;D, and also for trying to relay the idea that the palace not only read these forums, but also participated, including that they were really reading and using the forums as a way to weigh and judge Charlene's popularity, something Charlene and her family always knew...from day one! Even here, don't bet that even with the ring on her finger, that she isn't still trying to relay to Albert and the palace of her popularity, and just how many see her as as the new embodiment of her mother-in-law. I totally agree with you Scout--I wanted to add to your post about this. Sandsla, I love your novella posts! keep posting ;D ;D I apologize for that, I was stuck somewhere and unfortunately for you guys nothing better to do! I know I should break them up like everyone else does--I have a bad habit of trying to comment on everything I read in the forum in one reply or post. I guess I don't have to tell anyone, that my battery died before I had a chance to go back and correct or spell-check! ;D It's hard not to get carried away, this whole princess fraud thing is really nauseating, but so entertaining. ;D Such a time waste, but I can't help myself. Boy they really live in their own reality of the world--I guess in their case ignorance is bliss...I sure hope that kind of ignorant bliss pays all the bills for them? Again sorry for the novella ;D I appreciate your take on it all too! I am going to find that doppelganger post!

What do you think about this? Here are 3 photos from Charlene's visit in Melbourne, but these photos were handed to the press by the Princess Charlene Foundation. This woman has not issued anything about the substantive makeup of her foundation - its mission, goals or staff. In reality, the issuance of these photos in the name of her foundation is telling about what this foundation is REALLY about - THE PROMOTION OF CHARLENE - WEARING EXPENSIVE (DRAB) DESIGNER CLOTHES! This woman is really sick and Albert is sicker for giving her this platform to promote herself as some charity goddess.

I'm seriously thinking the entire Kelly line has a lot of problems. God only knows what these people are up to, and who may be holding what over someone's head! I'm disgusted with the lot of them.

It seems obvious to me that the whole idea of this trip and "exhibit opening" was Charlene's idea. She has friends in Australia she got them to help orchestrate the event. Otherwise I don't think this exhibit would have gone to Australia. I've seen it twice and it's not all that special. But then again, I'm very jaded about these things. However, I do believe CW arranged this whole thing herself, for herself - Grace was only a convenient vehicle - the entire thing seems really silly to me. Really, really silly. And once again, IMO, she looks like a big horses ass. They even keep describing her "Australian made dress" as a floor length gown. Huh? And so much of it was supposed to be "secret" - yet - they had press available. Please. Actually, the idea to have the exhibit in Australian was the idea of one of Albert's flunkie friend Andrew cannon, who Albert made an Honorary Consul of Monaco. The exhibit is being held in Bendigo because the director, Karen Quinlan, promised the largest audience than other Australian cities. Hence, why you saw the bused in crowd and the big street production for the opening. Here's an article written by Andrew Cannon explaining his relationships to the Kelly, Albert and why & how he selected Bendigo to host the exhibit.
Bringing Grace Kelly's style to Australia by ANDREW CANNON, HONORARY CONSUL OF MONACO
07 Mar, 2012
In the build up to Grace Kelly: Style Icon, the Bendigo Advertiser continues a series with those who have an intimate knowledge of the exhibition.... Andrew Cannon, Honorary Consul of Monaco
Saturday is the official opening of Grace Kelly: Style Icon.
The exhibition is an insight into one of the most beautiful women of the 20th century who typified elegance and style.
This is the story of how this exhibition came to be at Bendigo.
One of the most important historic sporting events in the world is the Diamond Sculls rowing event at Henley, England.
As a young man I went to Philadelphia, the home of the Kelly family, to train for this event.
Incidentally, East River Drive in Philadelphia is now named Kelly Boulevard after Princess Grace’s brother, who won the diamond sculls and a bronze medal at the Melbourne Olympics in 1956.
At the end of the rowing course is a statue of Princess Grace’s father, who won three Olympic gold medals in rowing.
The family is synonymous with sport in Philadelphia and for me that was the reason to be there – to row and train with the best.
Further to the rowing it was obvious the pride the city had with its connection to Princess Grace. In fact in the early 1980s (before her tragic death) the Princess came to Philadelphia to name a rowing-eight in her honour.
The connection of family and friends was very important to her.
My connection goes back to these early days, and being privileged enough to have the opportunity to row with Jack Kelly and meet his family, which was an inspiration to my endeavours with rowing.
I lived with Gus Ignas for three years, who was Jack’s rowing partner and my coach.
That connection is still there 30 years later as Honorary Consul for Monaco and, John B Kelly, III (son of Jack Kelly) is a close friend who I’ve rowed with and against.
As the nephew of Princess Grace, it is exciting that he has chosen to come to Bendigo to support the opening of the Grace Kelly: Style Icon exhibition. This collaborated effort means a lot to me. Further to my role as Honorary Consul representing Monaco I was actively on the lookout for an event or exhibition that could benefit either or both countries. When Switzerland won the America’s Cup I initially pursued, with His Serene Highness Prince Albert, the opportunity for Monaco to host part or all of the America’s Cup regatta. Unfortunately this was not to be.
When the Grimaldi Forum put together the wardrobe of Princess Grace to go on tour (initially in Paris) I thought, ‘what an opportunity for Australia’. In fact, the then Minister of Tourism, Michel Bouquier, alerted me to the potential for it come to Australia – I went to work, as I felt it was something Australians would want to see.
Prince Albert was fully supportive of the idea and stated that when his mother, Princess Grace, passed away in 1982, he had received more letters of condolence from Australia than any other country.
So with the support of the Palace and the Grimaldi Forum (which manages the exhibition) I went to work finding the correct venue, as Australia has many museums, but not that many galleries that could satisfy the criteria to host such an event.
There was then much dialogue with major galleries and also some of the smaller ones. I went as far north as Brisbane and as far west as Perth, seeking advice from well-respected leaders of the arts community particularly Rupert Myer AM, Marilyn Darling AC, Tony Elwood, and Shane Carmody.
It made sense for the National Gallery of Victoria and Dr Gerard Vaughan was excited by its concept and worked to tailor the exhibition to suit what he believed Australians would want to see. However their organisation was preparing for 150-year celebrations and had got so large that decisions were slow to progress and their figures on visitation were conservative.
At the same time the exhibition was proving to be a blockbuster in Europe and the opportunity was slipping away. Bendigo meanwhile had finalised its Age of Couture exhibition with numbers that were far in excess of what the National Gallery projected for Grace Kelly, and Bendigo Art Gallery director Karen Quinlan had gained the respect of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
With the exhibition becoming a major success overseas it was becoming a bidding process. A number of countries with strong financial backing were now very keen to host what was to be the final leg of the exhibition.
Thanks to the relationship with the Grimaldi Forum and the Palace itself, and the collaborated effort of friends and family (including, in particular, Laura Anderson from the Melbourne Fashion Festival, and Ken Ryan, Qantas), funding was secured from the Victorian government, the City of Greater Bendigo, and the Bendigo Art Gallery.
All the criteria was proven and Bendigo Art Gallery was rewarded with this spectacular insight into one of the most photographed women of the 20th century.
You did a good job here, but I think you missed one thing here that is key, and that is they were " actively looking" for an opportunity that would mutually benefit both countries? Something like that? In other words, he was looking for an opportunity to "peddle" Albert's dumbass bride! So they thought through exploiting Grace's memory with her already organized tribute, something that had already pretty much benn put together (and would take little effort) was the perfect opportunity to promote Charlene and to try to draw on and exploit her flimsy claim to fame as an Olympian...Australia was picked for no other reason than to peddle and leverage her unremarkable relationship with Australia and her embarrassing Olympic claim there...they really have no shame. This Australia trip is for no other reason than to promote Charlene, even better somewhere half way around the world--if she did poorly *which she did" there would be little press that anyone would see. It was a practice solo eventfor Charlene and to promote Charlene. Also Charlene's lack of preparation and enthusiasm that she showed there , but what else would anyone expect from her. I am in total agreement with you Myadia, an extra could have handled those few simple lines in a cold read. No one could possibly expect Charlene to put in any effort, not after six years of "wanting the job bad." always claiming she is the only one that was right for the role.....well Charlene lets see it? This girl could not even bother to memorize the first paragraph where she is only acknowledging the people that came to see her--she could not not memorize a thank you for having me, a few words about Grace, her style, the tribute she had already attended, and then the lines where she is "congratulating" "other venues"?? The guy setting behind her looked baffled like does she even know where she is, until she squeaks out their venue--they could have not written something better than that....after they put together that nig welcome fanfare for her....for that! Seriously that guy looked as impressed as Charlene in having to be there, or at least equally enthusiastic with having her there--you can see he is not paying attention to what she is saying, that is if anyene there could actually understand her, as she reads her spesh looking down pretty much the entire time That guy looks more like he's probably thinking "who is this broad, and why is she here....why do I have to be here?" I loved the arm fling ;D like, oh yeah, I am suppose to make this gesture to acknowledge someone back there...somewhere...she does not synchronize the gesture with the turn of the head to look at him? I could see that she was nervous, but it is her own fault, because she is not willing to put in an ounce of effort ever into anything and it looked that way there. She didn't even look like she even knew what she was saying or reading? Like it was the fist time she saw or read through the speech? Which wasn't much? Is anyone surprised? This article goes to show just how hard they are peddling themselves and to be more precise Princess Charlene--everything is an opportunity to promote her or themselves, even if they have to expolit poor Grace memory--it seemed few others wanted them, or would take them! The guy writing the article seemed pleased with himself? I also agree with the new Duchess poster, that attended the tribute there--I hope someone reads what someone there had to say and how they felt about it and Grace and Charlene.

Countess I noticed that too. Actually it seems that reporter was saying that Catherine and Mary are images that people have when they think of Princess, but now Charlene is changing that stereotype. You could see WC face froze for a second, and when reporter noticed that she quickly start telling how WC is different because she is "doing charity work" , like that was never done by any other Princess before her or even today. I guess that was the first thing that came to the reporters mind once she realized that she almost said out loud what she was actually thinking and that is...Cathrine and Mary are the images that people have when they think of a Princess, but now you are changing that because you are different and little girls can see that you can be less then average, awkward and grotesque and still be a Princess. ;D ;D ;D

sandsla she said that her foundation was going to promote women on 5 continents. She was using pluralis majestatis as she has only the intention of promoting one woman and that one doesn't even resemble one.... And for once it is not Merkel ;D
