Mmm...i don't know if she is pregnant. I don't think so. It looks to me (from other pics i've seen) it was just a wind effect, sort of speak. It's not the first time Tatiana has this rumors about her being pregnant, specially with those baggy clothes she likes to wear. But, if she is pregnant, that would be such a huge presion for the Trash. LOL

I hope they're having those little bastards by the boat load on the side!!! ;D (Just kidding) On the legal side, we shall never know. Monaco has made up laws as it went along in the past.

Andrea has given an interview to Hola: He did a visit to Princess Grace Hospital, his works with La Fondation Motrice, talks about his grandmother, etc. Title says "with Andrea Casiraghi in the kingdom of the Grimaldis" The two quotes below say *"I wish to participate in even more projects to help and offer a better place for future generations" *"My grandmother was an exepctional woman, generous that beyond that mitic image, she hid a wonderful sensibility"

He didn't know his grandmother!!have you noticed that Albert has used the exact same words before and Caro and steph have made a variation of the same. I think trashy has said sth along these lines too in Australia. This is totally PR still trying to make money out of Grace. the more I hear those prefabricated sentences and the more I see how Grace and Rainier have failed as parents, the more I think that both must have been terrible people in private, raising a completely dysfunctional family where the kids have nothing better to do then destroy in a few years what needed decades to be built...

Wait! This could be a good sign! Let's not trash it entirely!! One) Andrea is put forward on the eve of the wedding anniversary while PA & CC are out of view Two) There's a strong Caroline vibe here that always reassures the Monegasques that someone is actually in charge. Three) Could there be a joyous wedding announcement in the offing for him & his GF if indeed she IS pregnant? This could eclipse all the bad press and negative atmosphere if Andrea - who is still the Crown Prince - takes a more active involvement. Viva Andrea! PS: He needs a Tom Ford suit.

He looks creepy in the close-ups. It's probably the photoshop job, deforming him beyond recognition, but still... A certain likeness with Freddy Mercury and lots of creep thrown in. I am quite happy that I'm not likely to meet him in a dark alley.

LOL to the dark alley. Yes IMO he is the one of the trio that lost with age.
As to the Andrea promotion, of course they are putting all family members out after the bad SBM news. Caro has always put everyone out there when she felt it was necessary. She took Alex to the ST Jean to distract people, especially the elderly, from asking too loud about the one person who should have been there. Albert had an excuse, but trashy didn't. everyone knows how little she works, so there is no excuse why she couldn't have been in MC while her husband was elsewhere on duty. That's her job. And if Monegasques didn't know already, they know as soo n as the Bunte cover is seen around MC that she went on vacation on her own, whilst leaving Caro to do the job. It's not going to help any of the family members, if they do PR stunt at one end and on another end all the work gets destroyed by a bimbo out for a media fix of her own. I still don't think that Andrea is really being promoted. They are just trying to counter his playboy do nothing image with a photo op. In the current situation they all have to fear that they will get their butts kicked out.

Actually, in the interview he says:
"As you know, I haven't met my grandmother. She was an exceptional woman (...)" etc.
I don't know if they are promoting him or not, but it's interesting that every year he gives an interview about Motrice, Charlotte has given interviews from time to time (sort of useless, but still) and Pierre has never spoken. Ever.
Odd.

I don´t think R&G were terrible people. Some aren´t just made to be parents, look at George V. and Mary.

I think so too, at least we can all hope so! The man never gives interviews and the timing of this is quite interesting.

he has given interviews before. Last time he talked about Caro....I really do not consider Andrea hope. Not for MC. No one in this family has the ability to turn things around in MC. Their only chance would have been if ALbert would have married a smart woman to help do the job for him. But he has shown that he couldn't care less for smart women...And unfortunately they are not good in picking advisers either...

True paca, but I like to have some hope and Andrea is a least a move in the right direction. Nothing, nothing can possibly be worse than Albert. JMO

what direction? He is badly educated and doesn't do anything with his life apart from a photo op once a year... He has even less of an idea what MC is like then fat Al. At present I do not see a single family member, capable of changing things for the better. Caro would be a good helper to an able and capable person, but the family really has not much to chose from. To be honest, they could have a chance with Alex, if they manage to raise her the right way and get her capable husband, who could then help turn things around. But they would have to understand that you don't find capable people among the jetsetting party lot they keep hanging out with. It doesn't matter that they are all from rich families. they are not the ones that made these families rich to begin with. MC needs achievers. And there are none in sight.

Somebody is preaching for her German parish I'm just going to have to revive my world domination plans and try to find the motivation to annex Monaco for its own sake. I really feel only half-hearted about this now, truth be told. I'd rather homewreck Camilla and Charles if that can tell you how unmotivated I am. At least, Charles is in great shape . Now if only we could do something about his hair. Like grow it out for God's sake. If I squint and only look at him in a polo outfit, I could muster enough desire. And reigning over my homeland would be desserts. Sorry, Monaco, you're on your own. I bet Caroline could get IVF and spawn more children. She's good mountainous stock. She could do it. Seriously now, I think much like the prophecies that surround the Brits, that the unlikeliest one will be king. In this case, I predict Pierre.

Well, at least Pierre seems to be doing some sort of work. Though not much. But I was thinking of Alex still being young enough to be formed in a good way and since she does not have CHarlottes beauty, she might be attracting a different type of man that might turn out capable for a change....the older ones are all set on their jetsetting ways. Also Alex is growing up in MC. She will be able to observe what is going on around her....

Alex as cute and smart and adorable is nevertheless a princess of Hanover, not Monaco. Why on Earth would a throne go to another lineage in another country without an actual war, conquest and defeat? If she marries her cousin, then there's a (barbaric) precedent that sanctions her ruling Monaco. Otherwise, it's for the realm of imagination and speculation. She will be a fine princess, because she already is. I hope somewhere in Liechtenstein or even England that she'll fall in love and marry a sweet prince one day however this is mortgaging a girl's future which is not done at this age.

Alex is not another lineage. First there is no princess of Hanover, as we do not have nobility since 1918. It's a name, not a title and it entails no rights to whatsoever.
As Caros daughter she is in line to the throne. Besides that is how it was done in the olden days. Through marriage one acquired a right to the throne in another country. There would not be any need for her to marry any cousin. SHe has a right of her own as Carolines daughter.

I beg to differ that Alex has any right of succession to the throne of Monaco. It makes no sense. She's also a Protestant, no offense.
