If it is true ... I don't think the palace has to officially mention that Prince Albert and Charlene are dating befoe you will hear an engagement announcement. I really do believe that Albert will follow the lead of Felipe of Spain and Phillipe of Belgium and keep his future bride out of the public eye until he is ready to announce an engagement. But, Charlene is already out of the bag.
Well, somebody in Charlene's camp has to be participating with the magazine because Novella has her family pictures (unless these pictures were already published before). From what I've seen of Charlene, she is not a class act. Most of stories I read in the U.S. about Monaco mainly focus on the "scandalous acts" of Grace Kelly's children. I just want to see Albert marry someone (not another Grace Kelly, she was unique, and in a different era) with class that will further enhance Monaco's image. I'm sorry, but Charlene is not it. Charlene has no education, no career, and hardly no chance of making the 2008 Olympics (unless her team just put her on - she didn't even make the Commonwealth games). Hey, but my opinion means nothing.
