HRH Prince Emanuele Filiberto, Princess Clotilde and Family 5: May 2008-March 2010

[giov]

He is an Italian citizen now, so he is allowed to vote. However I think he still has a double citizenship, Swiss and Italian.

 

[giov]

EF has not been elected!

 

[Tosca]

I heard that from the TV news last night: poor Filiberto, apparently politics is not for him! I wonder how he will show his fluency in 5 languages, he's so proud of. Actually if he speaks the other 4, the way he speaks Italian...

 

[maria-olivia]

How many votes did he have ?
I saw that his father has no problem in Italy ; I thought he was not allowed anymore.

 

[rchainho]

no problem now, but he had some. so how many votes did he?

 

[amedea]

22.500 votes according to his promotional website; the region he candidate in has 12.835.455 voters

[amedea]

not over, but on the other side.. EF broke with UDC as he support now some centre-right candidates while the party decided to support center-left candidates (for provincial councils of Milan and Turin for example)

 

[Tosca]

A real descendant of Carlo Alberto...

The following pics dated June 17, must have something to do
with that - maybe you could explain them to us as well, that
would be great

[amedea]

Yes these pics show EF supporting centre-right candidate for Turin province Claudia Porchietto (an enterpreneur in the automotive field); UDC supported the other candidate Mr Saitta, who has already been Turin province's president in the last 5 years and who finally won.

Tomorrow night Prince Emanuele Filiberto will act as chairman of the jury of "Miss Italia nel Mondo" (Miss Italy in the world, a beauty contest for girls born abroad, but that have at least a drop of Italian blood).
Since the contest will take place only 9 km from where I live, I'd like to go there, and see if I manage to spot him, like I saw Princess Melba Ruffo di Calabria some years ago. She was a gorgeous woman indeed! The TV screen didn't do justice to her!

My son just told me that the beaty contest will take place in another town this year.

Thanks a lot for the explanation, amedea!

I've had the rare chance to see the whole Miss Italia show
last week, and although I wasn't able to understand much
I felt it wasn't a good idea of him to take part, the dancing
show should have been an one-off trip into the showbiz

Here are a few more pics:

the final of the beauty contest on June 27, 2009 in Jesolo, Italy.

Strange Clothilde , posing alone at one of the most famous Haute Couture fashion show , I remember Diana posing alone before Tay Mahal..

 

[iceflower]

I don't think one can compare that, maria-olivia. Diana in front
of the Taj Mahal was full of symbolism, but Clotilde simply visited
a fashion show and she mostly does so without her husband

Here are a few additions from inside the fashion show:

Sorrry ,I was wrong with my Tay Mahal ..

 

[iceflower]

You don't have to apologize for that, maria-olivia, it's simply
been your first impression..

Sugarbaby318, thanks for the newest pic of the couple, I guess
it's been taken during the two last days.

Two weeks ago the French magazine Paris Match had a long
interview with Clotilde, including some pics of her and her
daughters (the faces of the girls weren't shown). She talked
about life as a mother and actress, about her theatre work in
Paris and that the rumours about her marriage had been hurtful
and nonsense.

Here's one of the pics, already taken on May 31 in the garden
of her house in Paris:

After the interview for Paris Match Clotilde has given
an interview to the Spanish magazine abc last week,
the content of the interview was the same, same topics,
same answers Here are two of the pics that were
taken for the article:

Looking so French and chic, Princess Clotilde was impeccably dressed. A simple white dress fitted her perfectly. I loved the neckline.
