Is that a.... saggy crotch on Charlene? Or is it just how she is standing? On a DVF jumpsuit you would expect better.

Yes my eye was drawn to that too. It looks like it’s round her knees. Most odd. She looks rather unfortunately like a toddler with a full nappy 😵‍💫

Poor Char; deeply unfortunate.

Camilla's outfit is VC.

Eaumyword · 07/09/2024 22:46

Oh Char, step away from unflattering '70's styles! She looks fabulous in sharper silhouettes and stronger colours.

Here are the Monacos again - Charlene in a red, off the shoulder jumpsuit, which is better. Her hair looks lovely. It seems somewhat formal for a picnic to me, but the children look so nice and Albert has made a wise decision to wear a dark blazer.

Charlene looks much better in the red jumpsuit than the patterned one. I love the way that the twins take after both sides of the family. Jacques is all Grimaldi and Gabriella all Wittstock.

KillingMeDeftIy · 08/09/2024 09:48

I actually thinks Jacques is the image of Charlene and Gabriella is very like Aunt Stephanie!

Maireas · 08/09/2024 09:50

I agree - doesn't Jacques look like his Mum!

I just looked up how old Albert is thinking he would be mid 50s. He's actually 66. I am sure he has access to great health care but his father died at 81. And Albert looks as though he makes the most of the good life.

Young Jacques could realistically be ruling Monaco before the age of 30. I hope he and his sister stay close as they grow up. Caroline seems to have been a big support to Albert over the years.

The red jumpsuit is better than the previous one but it does seem to draw attention awkwardly to her left boob somewhat, maybe a car seatbelt related issue?

AllTangledUpInMyMonkeyNutNecklace · 08/09/2024 10:07

That red jumpsuit is fab. I love a jumpsuit.

Haven't seen the nappy crotch thing and I'm too lazy to look back in the thread!

AllTangledUpInMyMonkeyNutNecklace · 08/09/2024 10:08

Oh didn't notice the boob situation. Not ideal.

KillingMeDeftIy · 08/09/2024 10:43

Nice photo of the Lux royals, who now have not one, not two, but three babies in the family! And thread mascot Charles appears to have already lost a few teeth.

Here's the photo in case that link doesn't work. They seem a very close family but I do wonder what GDMT is like as a mother in law!

What a lovely picture! They seem like a happy family. I wouldn't cross MT, though.

Indeed, or you might find yourself at the receiving end of her Jimmy Choos!

Wow Charlene is 20 years younger than her husband. That's challenging.

That's a lovely photo, the Luxembourgs always make me smile.

And 'ever so slightly terrifying' is the answer to your question. 😊

Tablefor4 · 08/09/2024 14:37

Also love how the rest of the Luxxies are in shades of blues, greens and pale but GDMT and Stephanie are in reds to make them stand out!

KillingMeDeftIy · 08/09/2024 14:57

Stephanie: "AIBU to not want to twin with my MiL while on holiday?"

Eaumyword · 08/09/2024 15:36

Char looking good in red and Albert is...approaching better...in his dark blazer!😂

Maireas · 08/09/2024 17:09

I like it, and I think the dark blue is a good colour on her. Makeup on point as usual. A very nice look.

Serenster · 08/09/2024 17:41

The photo at the top of the Hello article (and in the post above) is Meghan’s arrival outfit in Colombia - the Club Monaco jumpsuit photo is lower down the article. And not as nice, to my eye, but they are both good looks for her.

Maireas · 08/09/2024 17:47

Yes, I agree. Both have a good silhouette and colour.
