Thanks for that explanation Tigerben! But from what I read, I really get the feeling that the towns people who met and spoke with Albert really did like him. No one, I mean not one person, had anything of substance to say at all about Charlene.

No one, I mean not one person, had anything of substance to say at all about Charlene. And she is the 'flagship of Monaco' who is going to take them to heights never achieved before!

Look at her eyes! Her right eye is looking in a totally different direction as the left. It's very clear in this photo. It's jarring in person!

The Point de Vue cover photo I'm speaking of. OMG, I finally see what you were talking about. Her eyes are looking in different directions. But, didn't you say before that was so she could keep a better eye on Albert. ;D [/quote]

(In her defense - I think many people are put off and a bit insulted when talking with her because she looks like she's really not paying attention to the person she's talking to. One eye is always looking slightly somewhere else. Then add to that her total inability to carry on an intelligent conversation about anything and she's in trouble.) Edited to remove direct photo posted above.

This opinion piece about Albert and Charlene's visit is flaming (and truthfully) - and ownright dhilarious. It seems that several people thought Charlene looked bored. Here are more favorite comments (actually, almost every line is hilarious so I'll post the full article in the next post): Excerpts from: We’re being ripped off royally by our distinguished tourists A Different View with Dave O'Connell April 13, 2011 - 8:35am
- "I would love to know the cost of Prince Albert’s ‘Royal visit’ to Ireland last week – because if it was more than fifty pence, we were...well, royally ripped off."
- "... a lot of money for a couple who could have used their free travel passes and taken the train"
- "... it remains to be seen whether or the Prince remembers what he promised given that he’s finally getting married at the age of 53 – a move which will, thankfully for him, end those spurious rumours that he’s gay."
- "In fairness, any man who’s had as many paternity cases of Prince Albert can rightfully claim to have done his level best to sire a son and heir..."
- "... Princess Grace lookalike contest winner, Charlene Wittstock."
- "Poor Charlene looked as bored as an eight year old child at midnight Mass" [My personal favorite]
- "At least Charlene didn’t have to pay for the whole circus – we did."
- "...there were fleets of black limos and Gardaí deployed in case some decided that the Prince of Monaco was suddenly a world leader of some importance as opposed to a bald, middle aged man trying to keep his young blonde fiancé out of a coma from sheer boredom."
- "And as for the benefits,... they are deluded enough to work for the Department of Finance."

Full article from the Connacht Tribune: We’re being ripped off royally by our distinguished tourists April 13, 2011 - 8:35am A Different View with Dave O'Connell
I would love to know the cost of Prince Albert’s ‘Royal visit’ to Ireland last week – because if it was more than fifty pence, we were...well, royally ripped off.
Some called it a dress rehearsal for the Queen which will cost us at least €7 million in security, which is a lot of money for a couple who could have used their free travel passes and taken the train. Instead we’ll have armed protectors as the old dears take a look around Croke Park on a quiet day and visit the Garden of Remembrance where they’d do well not to remember why we opened this garden in the first place.
In fairness Albert did drop in on the Marine Institute – complete with an entourage to match his ego – and he signed a memorandum of understanding which is supposed to foster greater links between here and Monaco.
The good people at the Marine Institute will undoubtedly do their best to make that worthwhile but it remains to be seen whether or the Prince remembers what he promised given that he’s finally getting married at the age of 53 – a move which will, thankfully for him, end those spurious rumours that he’s gay.
In fairness, any man who’s had as many paternity cases of Prince Albert can rightfully claim to have done his level best to sire a son and heir before settling down with the former Olympic swimmer and Princess Grace lookalike contest winner, Charlene Wittstock.
Poor Charlene looked as bored as an eight year old child at midnight Mass, probably thinking that when she signed up for life as the wife of a multi-millionaire Prince it would not involve glasses of stout in Newport or walking around dilapidated old cottages in the west of Ireland rain.
And look at the old Kelly homestead you’d have to wonder – if we took such pride in this link to Grace Kelly, why isn’t there a roof on it?
At least Charlene didn’t have to pay for the whole circus – we did. And there were fleets of black limos and Gardaí deployed in case some decided that the Prince of Monaco was suddenly a world leader of some importance as opposed to a bald, middle aged man trying to keep his young blonde fiancé out of a coma from sheer boredom.
And as for the benefits, if anyone actually thinks that multi-millionaire tax exiles will sail off in their yachts, leaving behind the sun and sheer wealth of this makeshift Principality to enjoy the bracing wind and rain of Ireland, they are deluded enough to work for the Department of Finance.
In fairness to Barack Obama, he sees these Irish trips for what they are – a photo opportunity (the price for which is a half an hour of shaking hands) all in the name of trying to claim a slice of the Irish-American vote for his re-election effort.
Even his own handlers now seem embarrassed by the speed of this visit and it looks like he’ll have to book in somewhere overnight so as not to give the impression that this is the equivalent of a toilet stop on his way to the big gig.
Either way, he’ll only be here long enough to say top o’ the mornin to Croke Park and begorrah to Moneygall before he heads off to the UK for his real visit – although, in fairness, now that he might be staying a little longer he could cram in a few holes of golf.
Obama hasn’t time to be supping tea with his eighth cousins from the Queen’s County or downing pints in Durty Nelly’s – this man is running the western world.

Well, leave it to the Irish to tell the whole damn truth about what people really think! What newspaper were these comments printed in? There is nothing quite like Irish wit!

I guess Charlene did not understand how hard the duties of 'the job' would be. It may include looking and acting totally absorbed and interested even if you are asked to watch paint dry. They went to Ireland to see Albert's roots. Albert, her beloved, man of her dreams, one that she loves above all others, her soulmate. You would think that something about the visit would interest her. Oh wait, didn't she go shopping every day?

Oh wait, didn't she go shopping every day? Exactly, Scout. Charlene did go shopping each day in between duties - and the media duly noted it. This girl is too much of a narcissist and dimwit to see how damn shallow and how much of a WAG she looked. But, she wants to be Princess of Fashion, so of course in her world that means having the most designers, largest, most expensive and latest season wardrobe.

Thank you so much for that article MyaDia. I was beginning to wonder why no one was pointing out the uselessness of this trip. I am glad some Irish realised that themselves.
In a way I am quite angry because some of my tax money is spent to bail out Ireland (no offence to the Irish people - they suffer, I know) because of the financial crises.
And here comes PA, the Lord of fraudsters (Ricardo Miranda Miret/ Michael Lowry, Michael Fingleton) and money launderes (Adnan Houdrouge) and tax evaders ( there are not enough characters remaining to name them all) dines and parties with them in K Club and the tax payers of a lot of European countries have to pick up the bill.
I am so glad you found that article and I am even more glad that the Irish are aware of that fact.
I think that trip was about to get some rich Irish people to move to MC as permanent citizens - evading income tax in Ireland of course or to white wash some smelly people like Michael Lowry and Michael Fingleton.

Great finding!
‘In fairness, any man who’s had as many paternity cases of Prince Albert can rightfully claim to have done his level best to sire a son and heir before settling down with the former Olympic swimmer and Princess Grace lookalike contest winner, Charlene Wittstock.’
That is really saying it. Cruel but so true. I love the Irish people!

Ratings agency Moody's announced the downgrade as the Dublin government was due to announce it had renegotiated the terms of its £60billion bail out loan from the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
Less than four years ago he was the richest man in Ireland with a fortune of more than £4billion. But yesterday Seán Quinn’s business empire was prised from him, leaving the tycoon facing ruin - and prosecution. The 63-year-old - who spent almost 40 years building up Quinn Group - faces corporate governance charges for burdening the company with more than £3.5billion in debt. The Irish taxpayer will be expected to pick up the tab for any shortfall. The debt-ridden group will now fall into the hands of Anglo Irish Bank - which has itself cost the taxpayer almost £26.5billion to date - and U.S. insurance firm Liberty Mutualjust curious? > is this crook a friend of FAtAl?
