Charlene of Monaco

[WipsGlitter]

Here She is really pretty but needs to leave her husband step away from the make up box. I'm assuming this was professorially done the lips are too red and too matte and it's too heavy for a day look.

She always looks so sad.

I want to know the theories, dammit!

There's a lot of volume in that outfit in the OP, looks strange contrasted with her very slim legs. Her face is looking a bit gaunt as well. Sad to see a strong, professional athlete almost disappear into this fashion-waif, although she's been going that way a long time. She seems a nice woman- in that other link she was letting common people touch her little boy's hand and she looked well chuffed when he was toddling along on his own.

Beatrice is the new pretty girl in Monaco.

Beatrice's wedding outfits were all so gorgeous.

Weirdly fascinated by the royals of Monaco knowledge on this threat!

"in that other link she was letting common people touch her little boy's hand and she looked well chuffed when he was toddling along on his own."

That was very sweet of them, actually. They celebrated the twins' 1st birthday at Place d'Armes in Monaco, with a group of kids from the nearby Ecole de la Condamine and J (for Jacques) and G (Gabriella) cupcakes (see photo). It was a surprise birthday party and even the children who were going there didn't know what they were going to do.

Cupcakes

Even the commoners in Monaco are quite well heeled I'd imagine!

The bridesmaids's dresses were based on traditional monagasque dress, and were designed and made by the Monaco Ballet. The bridesmaids were chosen for being blonde, and a particular height - i think it was 130-135 cm, but could be wrong on this, might have been taller. And well poised - gymnasts and dancers preferred, but essentially one girl was chosen from each of the surrounding villages, but I think they had to have been born in Monaco.

DSis's theories about Charlene are largely self invented and based around the idea that - the Principality will never love anyone as much as they loved Princess Grace; that Charlene is a gold digging moo bag; that Albert could do better; it should have been her (DSis) - and that Charlene is desperately unhappy because realises all this, (except maybe the last part ) and tried to stop the wedding by running off and only came back due to a massive bribe/threat.
But bear in mind that DSis is a total gossip monger, totally ruthless in creating rumours and more than a little imaginative. But she does work in Monaco and brushes shoulders with the well-heeled, so, who knows?

Albert "could do better"? Really?! BikeRun's sister, he looks like a thumb.

100% legit

I have just watched Dior and I - agree that she looks beautiful on film and not so great in pictures.

Loving the Monaco chat!

gossip monger, ruthless, imaginative... that is the best kind of person to get gossip from!

She really thinks Albert is too good for Charlene? He looks like a slightly stretched out William Hague, who has been at the military dressing up box.

When in uniform I think he looks like an accountant who's dressed up as one of the Village People for a laugh. Except I doubt he ever laughs.

I suspect DSis rather fancies herself in the Monagasque princess role, and considers herself better looking than Charlene. DSis is also quite vain but scrubs up very well.

I like the sound of your sis!

We clash terribly, but she can be good fun. We are massively unalike.

I think she has awful dress sense. Lacks taste and style and thinks designer clothes make up for it. They don't - as Kim Kardashian illustrates daily.

Charlene's make up is awful and she's a misery. Always looks up herself to me.mBut if you are prepared to sacrifice happiness to marry him, and have social status, you deserve what you get. They called Kate Middleton WaityKatie but Charlene epitomised the meaning of it.

Even the name, Charlene, lacks class and taste.

BikeRunSki I think your sister has arrived!

I think she looks great.

Is there something of liking to appear a martyr about her?

I wonder.........widespread sympath for her suffering - whilst also being married to a billionaire Prince who mainly plays away (no doubt doesn't bother her too much) and she's wheeled out from her life of luxury occasionally to meet the common people or accompany the 'thumb' (lol) to glamorous functions. Access to the best designers, couture, jewellery, palaces etc. She would probably have sunk back into obscurity without the marriage as her career was over and old swimmers generally don't remain famous.

I hope the children and wearing white around the Pope were worth it.

I can't stop at your sister bikerunski, im having coffe and people next to me are staring !
her theories are interesting, does she really think Albert could have done better? And most importantly does she really fancy marrying him and actually procreate with him , I couldn't do it,not even with my eyes closed! Ew
We go there every summer and have friends living in Monaco, most people are just relieved he settled down ,they worried about him for a moment
But it, does make you wonder if the curse is true, no one in that family is lucky in love or marriage,

lulu you can't be serious she wears beautiful clothes and always looks stylish, and is very much involved in many functions and charities,

, wheeled out from her life of luxury to meet the common people I now have this mental picture of Charlene dressed in white wheeled out on to the balcony of the palace to wave to the common people, like the pope ,

ooh cute bridesmaids. Rather nice then to have representatives from the local villages.
