LOL I should think she would try and they sure are desperate to appear serious, especially when Maxima will soon show that as a foreigner you can be a perfect princess and queen to your adopted country, if you put some effort into it and learn the language. Obviously that requires a minimum education which trashy doesn't have so I suppose Mrs Ban will be extremely bored and hoping that ALbert stammmers quickly through his meet. SHould she really wear that tiara, she would look utterly ridiculous and out of place. The only time she can wear it is at Maximas becomin queen, but maybe she will be too green with envy. And then in the future she will continue to have to go the coronations of all the others....and she will still be the hobo princess of a tax heaven on the verge bankruptcy.... anyone read that unemployment in the area has risen another 12,5% in one year? That makes it almost the highest in France. The other place is in the ALpes, where the skiing places of the rich are located...so no surprise there....

Hobo Princess.. Beatrix will host a dinner before the coronation and I´m pretty sure that there will be no tiara at the ceremony itself. If she will ever get the chance to wear her tiara?

Am I mistaken or is this the first "official" visit by anyone to Monaco? I can't seen to recall any under Rainier.

there were other official visits. With Rainier and ALbert. Rofl at trashy clapping her flippers as Ban receives the order. of ST Charles I imagine. The one she had to wait for and nag for toget it. No she is standing there clapping as if it was a sporting medal he won. This dumpster bride just doesn't get anything about her job and the meaning of things. To me she remains the female Goering from SA. Btw I have noticed that some people in MC I know seem to think it is necessary to show their interest in SA these days. I don't think it means that trashy is pregnant or that her influence is growing,just that some people feel the need to suck up.For whatever their reasons.

I'm surprised that no one on the Sugahs suggested that Trampy is wearing a peplum to camoflage a baby bump!
I can't help but wonder what the Mrs. thought of Trampy? What the hell could they possibly talk about?
Isn't there an official dinner tonight?

The diplomat's wife looks unimpressed. The clapping shows the sophistication of a body builder who stumbled on this little party. Let's face it, she may be the Arnold Schwarznegger of royalty...

looks like the ladies are not very friendly with each other. Wonder what the talks will have been like after todays publishing of offshore leaks. IN Germany elections are coming up, Hollande is under pressure, most EUropean countries are pretty weak at present, so Albert should be really scared now and rethink his extension plans when all the rich he was hoping to accommodate will, have to actually pay taxes because within the next few years politicians will have to close those tax loop holes and keep the billions in the countries where they are actually earned. Especially in the times of the Euro crisis you can bet that people will demand politicians to put an end to this. Especially Germans will not accept that their tax billions will be transferred to other countries to help them, when in fact their own rich taxpayers can escape their share of the load. ALbert will be sleeping very badly if he actually realizes the consequences this will have for him and MC. IMO there soon will be the great exodus of people. No point living in cramped appartments, when the fiscus will take your millions anyways ;D

I'm surmising Ban Ki Moon wasn't in Monaco to meet with Albert but rather that this was staged to hide his real agenda. I just don't see the commonality of interested whatsoever. As per the women, for once at least that couch is not used to effeminize foreign male diplomats however the women are so far apart, it's like each would prefer to jump off the sides rather than sit together. As per CC, the woman has yet to learn to blend her foundation at the jaw line. It evokes Jack Nicholson's The Joker in Batman

he was in Andorra before...another tax heaven.... And he is speaking to the ministre d'etat and other officials. So you might have a point there. On the other hand, the offshore leaks was a journalists thing, who have kept it secret for a year for good reason. So I don't think he was aware of it, but it is certainly a topic which has been on the agenda for some time, but was blocked by certain interested countries.... IMO no the political pressure will be far greater and the rich will have to build their fences much higher. As to the women, yes it is all very stiff. I suspect that Ms Ban is not that outgoing herself, but when you are greeted by an awkward hostess who doesn't manage to muster a smile or seem in command of her own home, it is hard to feel welcomed as a guest. Albert has to still show his trashy wife what she has to do, when in fact he should be leading the male and she should be leading the female guest and put them at their ease with MC protocol. There is a reason for protocol. People tend to claim that it makes things more difficault, when in fact it is supposed to make things easier. When you have done it a few times it is basically the same everywhere with slight variations. BUt since trashy is so void of any upbringing and manners, the simplest things are hard for her to grasp, she doesn't have anything to fall back on. SHe has no reference. It's like trying to speak a language without knowing grammar. Words are not enough, when you don't know how to use them. ANd that is her main problem. SHe has learned a few tricks, but she hasn't learned the cues, so her performance is always ill timed and out of tact. That stretches from behaviour to dressing to conversation. Just look at her outfit. Bear arms? Was it really that hot? Couldn't she put a jacket on? ah well, maybe the elephants can teach her a few tricks so she can join the circus one day...

Ban Ki-Moon is on his European tour. The UN probably need more money to fill the holes in their budget, just like the EU with their 11 billion Mount Everest-sized hole. Ban Ki-Moon has an audience with Dutch Beatrix on Sunday and meetings with practically everybody in the Dutch government on Monday. It seems he was in Spain before Monaco. I'm suprised he hasn't turned grey yet, considering all the things he fears, worries about or that are otherwise on his mind. (at least according to a quick headline search) Just how special is BKM's visit to Monaco on occasion of their 20-year membership of the UN if he's also visiting the rest of the continent?
Oh, and why is barbie so diligently working the last two weeks? More work in the last fourteen days or so than in the past 2 years combined.

well, they have a map now, where they can go get the money. Though personally I think they had a good list with Warren Buffets pledge of giving. Those are all tax evaders. And they are volunteering to give back, so IRS etc just have to go knocking and take back all the tax money those guys have received or not paid to accumulate their fortune.
As to this being a special vist, I guess that depends on which side you are on. To Ban it's business as usual and probably saves him time doing it all inone, but MC feels special that they are noticed. ANd trashy is only visible, because she has been told. It's called desperation.

Well if the secretary was hoping to quietly come by for a handout, he didn't count on Albert's desperate need to look relevant and therefore parade him for the cameras. It all looks just a little too contrived. And it's so unusual that they would have CC as the eternal sideshow. I deduce it was a smokescreen. On an up note, in regards to the UN, it seems someone among Canada's aboriginals is running with my idea to seek Living National Treasure status. I was updated by a young activist last week. If this ever goes through, I will go to my grave satisfied that this life was not entirely for naught.

I suppose they was talking about their business. Mrs Ban Soon-taek has been dedicated to the health of woman and children, particularly issues related to autism, the eradication of violence against women and the campaign aimed at preventing the maternal-foetal transmission of HIV/Aids. Princess Charlene is honorary president of the "Monaa" (Monaco Against Autism) association and has created the Princess Charlene Foundation in Monaco.

LOL yeah and when apart from last week did trashy ever show any interest in autistic children? And that info about the interest of Ms Ban comes from the palace to try and pretend that they have sth in common, when in fact they don't.

Monaco against Autism sounds like a horrible name. Is that really the name of the organization? All I can think of is Mother's against Drunk Driving. It's not like the poor kid can help that he was born that way. Why not call it the Monaco Autism foundation? Monaco Against Autism sounds like they want to run the kids out of town or ban them. JMO
