Those pictures are great of all of them! Really nice!

Didn't someone say it was just a timing issue, Caroline and her family had been out of time.

Also looking at those pictures of Charlene - Could she have a fear of clowns!
That one was kind of in her space More likely she has a fear of no tiara!

I don't think so Charlene probability didn't want to go and Albert made her. Because she really wasn't smiling. It was half of smile or trying to smile.

Sandsla, Caroline was in Monaco having returned from Senagal and hosted a luncheon with Albert (and no Charlene) for representatives for that charity. My guess is she felt her presence wasn't need that night. It was obvious to me from that short clip at the PGA that Caroline could care less about Charlene. I think Caroline wanted an enjoyable evening with her family at the circus without having to deal with the Charlene issue. Just a guess on my part.

Charlene only seems to smile when she knows the camera is on her. I find it interesting at all these events that the photographers seem to capture her when she isn't looking like she's having fun. The question that begs to be asked is why would they do that? If she can't enjoy any of these events it's very telling. If she only enjoys the parties that's also very telling.

Thora where are you?

Charlene au 34e Festival du cirque de Monaco

Headline in this week's point de vue.
Never mind Albert, he's just the sovereign of the country, never mind Stéphanie who happens to be president of the whole thing... But of course! I forgot, Charlene singlehandedly organised the whole thing, put up the tent, is the main event and won three golden clowns for being the main freak show. The centre of the universe, everything revolves around her. Sheez!

She has no fear of CLOWNS -- come on Sandsla -- she's dating Albert!!!!!

Albert not a clown he just having mid-age issues and I'm glad Caroline didn't come and can tell everybody how she feel about Charlene.

OK, you guys I was just trying to be nice! For a change And I guess a bad attempt at being funny! But some of those pictures with that one white clown face around Charlene's is funny! (IMO)

Yes it is funny because she doesn't appear to like clowns!

Here's a report from Monaco info about Circus festival : Palmares Cirque : honors list.
It is said that the prince's spirit is all over festival. I was thinking that Albert has no brain, no ideas only stray impluse and toy with the idea of work.

I think he speaks of the Prince Rainier extremely fortunately !!! But I agree with you "Albert has no brain"

They must mean Rainier, who spirit is probably turning in his grave at the mess Albert has made in such a short period of time. May Rainier one day rest in peace.

You will no doubt be happy to learn that there is a parallel festival circus. At this same time, during the 32th Monte-Carlo Circus Festival, Monegasque citizens are preparing for the national elections that take place every five years. The aim is to elect 24 National Councillors. I assure you that all the political "underhandednesses" of this "clowns big band" deserves to be included as one of the top circus performances.

Also, if you want to laugh, go see the show from the permanent political campaign raging. The elections will be held on next February 3th (2008). You can visit a website that summarizes the funny "jumble" of the various political groups. Here is the address :

I think we should write some captions for some of these photos. They are priceless. By the way is Albert holding Charlene's hand or is that another bottom shot like the pGA? ok I've been very bad the last two days. I'll give myself a time out!
