Free the Monaco One?

[wearing]

Princess Charlene is in Hello again this week I see, looking very thin and very miserable.

What's going on with her? I know the story of her trying to flee the country before the wedding ended up being fabricated, but she looks constantly utterly miserable.

Albert has sired two illegitimate kids previously (I think Charlene only found out about one or both after the wedding), but with Charlene it's been an IVF pregnancy which has produced twins. Plus there are the rumours that he's gay....

Am I alone in thinking it's all as dodgy as hell?

My money is on a divorce and a big payoff in the next couple of years. After all, she's produced the heir now so surely she'll be free to leave at some point?

Poor woman. Talk about a gilded cage.

Bump for the evening crowd.

Apparently the fleeing wasn't fabricated, but was "explained away" as her being on a shopping trip and having forgot her passport ?!

Also, his last illegitimate child was conceived whilst they were together.

I'm sure it'll all come out in the end..... Sad for her.

I only know a little bit about this. I remember the fleeing the country bit and wondering whether they would actually marry. It all sounds a bit iffy.

Argh someone must have some juicy insider info! Come on MN!

No gossip on Charlene Im afraid but I know someone who spent some time with Princey and was definitely under the impression he was gay. (Think that was vague enough).

Gilded cage indeed. A very discrete and quick divorce beckons I think.

But if he's gay, how has he got the illegitimate kids dotted round the globe? Does he just like to mix it up a bit?

So - is the consensus that he's bi?

Ok maybe bi then.

Either way if he had a kid with someone else while he was with Charlene he's not a nice bloke.

Apparently the snotty Monagasques can't bear her (not One Of Us) - sounds pretty lonely.

Did she have ivf because they don't actually dtd I wonder?

You do know that the Monaco royal family won libel damages in court for some of what is in 2nd post. Repeating a libel can be problematic legally, so you might want to ask MNHQ to check they're OK with publishing on their site.

Quite a lot of people look thin/tired/drained with newborn twins, so I wouldn't be putting too much weight on that.
