So, how does the media gauge the public's interest in their stories? Is it strictly sells, readership, viewership, and/or polls. Many online articles "most read" features can be distorted when fan sites link to them. do they take this in to account? I am trying to understand why and how Albert became so deluded with Charlene's appeal as the" new Grace." Magazines apparently take very detailed notice of the combination front page pic/person and number of sales. I assume the type of headline comes into it as well: when bashing Albert sells more magazines, they'll come up with some more nasty stories about him. Tabloids & men for some reason don't mix. It's my pet peeve. It's totally unfair as practically all princesses are not born ones. Their princes rarely make the cover and if they do, they tend to be an appendix to the princess in question. I haven't figured out why, I assume most readers are women and identify more with the princesses but even then you'd expect that a pic of a hunky prince would do ok? I suppose it's the thing about dresses, make-up, kids etc. Men just pull out the same suit as last time and hop into the car and don't get criticised for wearing the same thing again. Can't write about that. Oh well.... Before the wedding then please, after the wedding it's too late and there will be no way back. I have come to the conclusion about Albert's PR team is they don't understand 21st century media but think they do. Based on what they've amateurishly put out there, it's like they're stuck in a 1950s time warp and think they can control media like it was done during this parents time. Maybe that's how things go in the Monaco bubble but definitely not outside of the principality in this day and age. It's things there have been so restricted it's killed any real widespread global interest that might have developed over the decades. Strange, considering all the time Albie spends away from Monaco he'd get it that times have changed but obviously not. Does anyone know how old Stahl is? Albert and co. are fifty and older and are more or less of an earlier generation than most of the current crown princes. Maybe the whole lot is just too old and set in their ways to adapt to the new and rapidly changing times? What's the bet that the fiancée is by far the youngest one in Albert's entourage and circle of acquaintances? And she is useless, so no wake-up call coming from that direction. Glad to see you here! I just love your little photo of Albert and Charlene. Ah the Maldives!

I see Eringer has posted he lost the lawsuit in France against Albert and is deleting the posts. So much for standing up to Monaco and bullies.

I'm really shocked by decision of French court. Stupid French judge. But Eringer is correct that French ruling is not binding for him in the U.S. I think Eringer deleted those 14 posts about Albert as a protest or because he wanted to demonstrate how absurd was this court decision. Well, Eringer was never served with subpoena so the whole ruling was a joke.

Well, Eringer was never served with subpoena so the whole ruling was a joke. What Eringer wrote today is that he is doing it for strategic reasons. He doesn't feel the posts he's deleting will effect his forum. Someone has posted that we should be saving these posts ourselves to be used as a future reference. They pertain to all the corruption in Monaco. It's also a warning to us that he can reach into our blogs and threaten the same thing. No wonder he has had to add more security. It's just a question of time before someone is crazy enough to pop him off. Sorry but there so so many people in Monaco and the close surroundings that he has effected that I can see someone reaching the breaking point. He and Charlene are just like Maria Antoinette and Co. Sooner or latter the masses will over-throw them. Eringer has not given up the fight. JMO

Her hair looks terrible like that it is a different color...I like the clothes. Classic understated - but that is not her style!

Hi Hibou, I am not so sure there will be much resistance in MC towards PA and his deals and buddies.
But I am convinced that they are trying to white wash the reputation of MC, PA and all the tax evaders that hang out there.
Let's face it, the PR-efforts of MC are not aiming at the average income tourists. They are aiming at the wealthy to come to MC. The last thing they want is that their dealings and whereabouts are constantly observed and commented on in blogs and forums.
With that in mind I am convinced that closing the MC section in RD is no coincidence. It is a well known phenomenon in blogs and forums that trolls and sock puppets causing trouble till the sites have to close down.
What do you think? Do you really believe that being fed up with rude posters is the real reason for closing the MC section in RD? IMO the posters posting in threats concerning the rest of the European royals are pretty rude too. But so far no one complained.
The difference is those royals do not represent a tax heaven for the wealthy but MC and the Grimaldis do. And for them there is much more at stake. They need secrecy, no transparency, to make money. So a board with plenty of pictures and articles on their shady activities is probably the last thing they want because that keeps away potential investors or tax evaders.

That cover is so incredibly icy. It doesn't make me want to go anywhere near that woman. All she's missing is a cigarette in her right hand and possibly a riding crop in the left. And that's supposed to look inviting?

It's wealthy CRIMINALS - not legit wealthy people of which there are many - that are trying to hide who and what they are. The criminals are the ones who are keeping legit wealthy people away from Monaco! It didn't have to be like this. There was always an element of it there - but now it seems to be the prerequisite!
