plus there are more photos of him and charlene at the swim meet. He's watching the swimmers she's looking directly at the camera. as usual

Sailorgirl, is it possible to post the links with the info? That is one thing I've always liked about the forums, everything is consolidated in one spot. I would really love it if you could if it's not too much trouble, but since you seem to have pulled them up already?I hope you don't think I'm a pill for asking, but I would love that if you could? I do appreciate you giving us the heads up that there are pictures available, but links would be even better. Thanks!

Thank goodness Setura has picked up the gauntlet and posts the links. In fact that gives me an idea for her title.

Charlotte is spectacular. What else is new?

[royal pauper]

WOW....PA and Charlotte look fantastic together. Very proper, very classy......finally! I hope thay will keep up with this....putting the family (especially a younger generation) in the frist plan instaid of a freak shows and WC's trashy exhibitions. It is about time for PA to stop doing PR for his mistress and start making more space for his niece and nephews to be representatives of Monaco, just because they ARE. All imposters should be kept as a "side show"....for PA's private expedites only!

[Alabaster Skies]

This was indeed a great outing for them. Charlotte's dress was very classy and sophisticated understated elegance is what we would say would describe it. Pa always is impeccable grabs one's eye when he walks into a room. These 2 guys really looked like they were ready to have a good time!!

[Loulou]

They present a much more dignified image than the usual hag.

[Alabaster Skies]

it was surprising to see his friend was the Financial Times. Monaco does a lot for the media PA is pretty good with the media. PA is pretty much tech-y oriented in that way although finding some PA sightings must be hard to do because he is such an active person but they do a good job.

getty's link to same photos as belga

[Loulou]

I don't think it does anything for their image to be anywhere near alcohol after we've seen the drunken photos in Turin with WC hanging off him like a cheap rag. Besides, I thought Albert didn't drink!? That's what his bio says! Whatever gentrification they're going for, by pretending to be able to drink responsibly, I bet the rumours coming out about Cirque du Soleil's parties will crush that.

the pics of PA and Pierre were wonderful! The wine industry has always enjoyed a good relationship with Monaco so in these economically distressed times it is not surprising that they would want to continue the good relationship in the marketplace in Monaco.

:D the pics of PA and Pierre were wonderful! The wine industry has always enjoyed a good relationship with Monaco so in these economically distressed times it is not surprising that they would want to continue the good relationship in the marketplace in Monaco.

Pierre, is that the new name for WC? I'm in, just like the reporter friend

[Alabaster Skies]

It looks like Pierre is an heir in training. I'm glad to see Albert is bringing the trio into the picture this year. My guess is that Andrea will take on the humanitarian aspects and Pierre the economic ones. Charlotte is the glamour and with her return to riding, the sports. Charlene is well, a side show. Meow!!

[royal pauper]

Very nice indeed! Pierre is turning into a very handsome and proper young man. No wonder he was PR's favorite grandchild.

[Alabaster Skies]

Mah-velous pics indeed! Although it's seriously doubtful that PRINCE RANIER had 'favorites' in his grandchild list he seemed to be REALLY delightful of his grandchildren and how hard Caroline and Stephanie have worked with them to raise them well. Bet the tourists felt it was really cool for the opportunity to have seen the military show.

We've all now seen the photos of charlene with Caroline and Charlotte at the Horse Jumping.

I am assuming this is their way of showing family unity and acceptance of charlene as a member of family.
