So, apparently, the only Casiraghi that hasn't finished his studies is Pierre. Another resemblance to daddy!
In her Elle interview Charlotte speaks about her studies
http://a.yfrog.com/img835/7916/pomelineskyrock78.jpg
After her bac she stopped horse riding because she went to Paris to do prepatory studies for the Ecole Normale Supérieure (Khagne & Hypokhagne?)
Then she went to London for her internship
2 questions later she says that a year and a half ago she finished her philosphy studies
I agree with most of you on everything but I don't think she's shy.Shy people don't expose themselves at Vogue US.She doesn't have enough confidence to answer some questions but still need the press that why her ''interviews'' have just photos and some quotes.She gets the promotion and they sell out.Fair enough.If she was at Zara's or Valentine's (Pozzo di Borgo) level or if she had entered the very prestigious ENS she would probably talk more about herself.She'll probably never reach a really high level at horse riding and she never corrected anyone who wrote that she's a Sorbonne grad.Surprisingly though she sued Bunte for calling her party girl.Very convenient,huh?The 2000-2006 era was a real madness,press was following them everywhere but it seems that people are losing part of their interest in them.If she actually avoided ordinary students at Fenelon her failure must gave have been a slap for her.
Now I am confused...Charlotte did NOT graduate from the Sorbonne?? Did she leave BEFORE graduating? Did she attend classes there at all?
She was once inseparable from Valentine Pozzo di Borgo...now I never see them photographed together.
Thank you palomasie. I always thought she graduated...but I think she got "bored with her studies" at the Sorbonne because she had just met her new boyfriend and wanted to join him in London.
As for Caroline, I remember reading somewhere that she had studied there as well, but I do not know if she ever got a degree.
Elle France said Charlotte graduated from the Sorbonne. She graduated from high school in 2004. Went to the special high school for 2 years and would have graduated after her 3rd year at the Sorbonne. That still gave her 2 years for internships. According to the Sorbonne website you can get a degree after 3 years. The palace website says PC graduated from the Sorbonne with a degree in philosophy and I think psychology.
I thought she had graduated too but apparently she hasn't. She went there from 2006 to 2007 and studied Philosophy. Someone said at the forums that she had got bored with her studies and therefore decided not to come back. So technically she is not a graduaded. Speaking of Sorbonne, anybody know if Caro went there? And if so, what did she study?
I agree with everything you said, Trepstep, except this one. Charlotte is not a normal girl.
Caroline has a degree in Philosophy from the Sorbone. She specialized in Children´s Psychology. She wanted to work with children.
rosana said:Caroline has a degree in Philosophy from the Sorbone. She specialized in Children´s Psychology. She wanted to work with children.
Well, since you can't study philosophy and specialize in children's psycology (as far as I know psycology is not even taught at Paris IV) I'm guessing that Caroline degree is as fictional as Charlotte's.
OMG! Again with all of this negativity...It's really strange that you post here if your so ANTI Charlotte!Oh, but she is a normal girl! It's her circunstances that are exceptional, not her!
I think I didn't explain myself properly.
What I meant is she's done no more no less than any other girl out there. She's got good grades at highschool, she's dated a couple of boys, she's kind of gone to university, she's done a couple of interships and she's got a hobby she likes. That's all.
She can be an interesting person to meet and to talk to on a private level, like many other girls in the world, but she's done nothing that is worth an interview per se.
If we are interested about her it's just because her grand-mother was a famous actress, and her mother was a socialite who dated famous people, her aunt led an absurd life for years, and his uncle rules a surrealistic fiscal paradise on the mediterranean coast with a big casino and a famous car race, and she wears designer clothes and goes to glamourous parties, and travels in a yatch and all that makes us dream, like a hollywood movie from the 50's would. But it's not her who is special or interesting, it's just her circunstances. She is just normal.
In some ways, I think that we are a little unfair with these heiresses like Charlotte or Eugenie and such. Let's face it. Most people in this world don't have a real passion, and even if they do most often they don't have the talent to excell in anything remarcable. Yet, it goes unnoticed because most peoplee have to work to eat and pay rent, and they are too busy just doing did that.
Now, if you don't need to work to earn your life, it would be extremely stupid to take a 9 to 5 job and waste your time sitting at a desk when you could enjoy it, BUT you probably still need to feel like you are doing something of your own. you've got the time, the money, the ambition and an unfair social pressure who pushes you to do something, work on something, achieve something (even when most people who critizise rich people would stop going to work if they could afford it).
What I think makes them look silly is when all of them decide they are talented artists and can excell at creative things just because they enjoy touring lthe Orsay museum and the MOMA!! One of them designs shoes, the other one desings jewelry, or furniture, or is a model, or onws an art gallery or talk about going to the Olympics and they don't even realize how laughable they are, they are so used to be surrounded by special and talented people that they think is normal to be one of them! Well, at least Alex just owns a gallery and help the people who have talent, he doesn't pretend to been an artist himself. He seems the more level headed of the full gang.
And well, some of these real kids are really talented. Zara Phillips is not just good, she is amazing! But then, she isn't exactly the daughter of a fat rich bussinessman and a lazy fashionista socialite. Both her parents were really talented equestrians, she inherited her talent and passion from them.
About Charlotte not talking to anyone at Fénelon... I don't know, I won't doubt your source since I don't know it, if your friend says she didn't talk to anyone she probably was right, but how does she know she didn't talk to anyone because she considered herself better than the rest? I''m sure Charlotte didn't say that! There's a good chance that's simply what people thought. Maybe she is just afraid that people would like to pretend to be her friends only because she is famous?
I really don't know but in any case, having a famous last name and been rich is no excuse whatsoever to feel like you can only be normal about people with similar background than yours. I went to school for a couple of years with a cousin of king Juan Carlos of spain. Since her last name was Borbón there was no way she could hide it, but appart from than she was a really nice friendly girl, who never ever behaved like an outsider. Of course the 1st, maybe the second week we were courious about her, and we talked about her in the aisles and I remember I asked my mom if she knew something about her. But after a couple of weeks we just forgot who she was because she was NORMAL and even if she had fancy connections and family parties, and such, when she was with the class group she hanged out in the same places we did.
And this post is long! Just one last thing: if you don't want to get the wrong media atention you just don't sign a deal with Gucci and you don't give interviews to Vogue, and Elle and Hola! If you've got Charlotte's money you don't need a sponsor to ride amateur shows. You pay your bills by yourself, you enjoy yourself, you don't attrack the media attention and specially you don't talk about going to the Olympics !!
Yes you can study both things. At least that´s what Jose Luis Roig wrote in her biography. The same information is published in the Monaco official site. Unless you have made a better research, the information is accurate. I don´t see the reason to lie on this.
OMG! Again with all of this negativity...It's really strange that you post here if your so ANTI Charlotte!
One more thing, these constant little tid bits about Y-O-U, are unhelpful, I know others may disagree, but seriously trepstep for all we know you could work as a cleaner for the Paris public transportation system!

I'm sorry but IF it was a lie, I believe that they would have chosen a credible lie! I think that the MC Press Service can easily investigate at which university PCs degrees are tought!
Maybe at this time the degree was tought! We are talking about 1977!
No, you can't. I don't care what Jose Luis Roig wrote or did not wrote. You can't do that in Europe and even less prior the new Bologna Plan
She would had needed 4 years to complete her philosophy studies. (at least a couple of years to get a DEUG, the minor degree by then) And then, to study psycology she would had needed to start again from the bottom, because there is no connection between philosophy and psycology, they're not even taught in the same university.
And to be "specialized" in anything she would have needed at least a maîtrise and that was 4 years of studies.
Since I am certain Caroline didn't attend university for 6 years, it is obvious than Jose Luis Roig, the monaco palace and herself are the 3 off them lying, and I can think of a good handful of reason why they did that.
Maybe she did not "specialize" in Psychology but did minor courses. But for sure the Palace has no reason to lie on this and you have no prove to deny Roig.
TrepStep you need to look at the Sorbonne web site. You get a license in 3 years and a masters is the next degree after that. A license degree is the equivilent of a bachelor's degree in the US. Actually a little better. Those with a bacalaureate degree can skip alot of first year courses when they start at a US university. Philosophy and applied sciences are both under the human sciences department.
Nah, not really! She just had the "luck" to sit really close to Charlotte during last year's horse jumping show in Rio. So based on that she was able to make a few conclusions. If you'd like me to tell the whole story, I could write it here later
Of course I have proof! It's called french educational system!
