I don't understand the Alex hate either.
All I see in him is a faithful guy, who's been with Charlotte for 4 years, and never cheated on her or been seeing having a bad gesture or even a fight.
A guy who goes with her to fashion shows and horse events, and who apparently has accepted that the girl he met, who was free to live in london with him, now spends more of her time in paris or horsing around europe (and I don't agree with those who say that's not a problem because they have money. It IS a problem because when charlotte is un switzeland or valencia or wherever riding she is doing her thing she can't be taking care of alex, and when she is in paris she gets up early to go riding everyday. It is difficult to adjust to that and Alex seems to accept it no problem)
I find it a bit silly to say that since she's going out with Alex she's been seeing drunk at night and such. Well, good for her! She's 24 for god's sake! She should go out, and party and get drunk. The abnormal thing would be for her not to do it.
I don't understand either all that discussion about Alex being accepted or not by Charlotte's family or by the monegasques...
First because I have seen nothing but proof of a very good and healthy relationship between both families and second because,
Come on people! We are talking about the Casiraghi and the monegasque family here!
Charlotte is 50% Casiraghi and the Casiraghis are no more and no less than the Dellal. Some rich people who made a lot of money. Specially after Stephano, who had the reputation of been something of a shark, married Caroline. He was even rumored to be involved with the maffia! (actually you don't easily male make big money in italy without some kind of maffia connection)
So much for 50% of Charlotte's family.
What about the other half? Well, we have 25% of american actress!! That's conservative!! and a 25% (rainier) which seems to be the more conservative old fashioned part of her ascencency. But, really? Nobody else remembers that he was son of an illegitimate child, that grandma Charlotte's mother was an uneducated photo model (at a time when that was nearly the same thing that being a prostitute!)
And what of the living grimaldi? who can look look down on the dellals? Stephanie and her porno-boydguards? Albert with his collection of illegitimate children???!!
For god's sake! I don't believe at all in this hypocritical morality but if we were to use traditional conservative terms to judge them, then the Dellals would be way above the Grimaldi!
I also find kind of weird the comments about the catholic monegasques or Charlotte's being catholique. As far a I can see, those comments come from forum members who don't come from countries where most of the pouplation is catholic. Probably in the US catholics are more conservative than other people because they are a minority?
In mediterrean traditional catholic countries being catholic is simply something cultural. you are raised into it because it is around you but you don't live your life as if the Pope was watching you!!!. Most people in france, spain, italy are catholic. And they happily live with their boyfriends without getting married, get abortions, have sex whenever they feel like it, are happily gay, etc etc... this is not the 19th century!
