I've been looking on the TF1 website, but I can't find the interview.

Tonight Caroline will give an interview to TF1 , let's hope to see the video!

Where did you read that? What's the topic?

The topic is the book she has written together with Dominique
Simonnet, it was published this week, on October 22nd ( see
her current events thread). It was said that Caroline would give
an interview about it on French TF1, but maybe the date was
mixed up with the date of the publication. Me personally I can't
remember having read about an exact date for the interview..

Princess Caroline and her charity "Jeune J'écoute".

"Jeune J'écoute" was founded in 1981 by a group of people wanting to help young persons under 26 years of age who are in difficulty. Princess Caroline became the Honorary President of the charity.

What started as a phoneline for young people, became a charity which employs educators and psychologists, and it supports about 100 people per year.

The office of the charity is at Quai Albert Ier in Monaco.

I'm surprised she still does royal events. She hated being a princess (well at least the duty part) and in her Diane Sawyer interview she was looking forward to Albert getting married so she was free. She was very intimidating and hard in that interview. Maybe she's softened in her old age?

Do you mean the interview from the end of the 90’s?
Where she’s wearing a green suit and a scarf on her head
Where have you found it?
I’ve only seen a little part on YouTube but never found the complete interview.

I don't believe Caroline has ever hated being a princess. In fact out of Caroline, Stephanie and Albert I think Caroline loved/loved her status the most.
What she hated was the sense of being constrained from doing whatever she pleased and whenever she pleased.

The interview with the turban was given during the wave of negative publicity that accompanied her affair with Prince Ernst August of Hanover. She was dealing with hair loss.

I saw the interview in real time. I don't remember if I felt she seemed "hard". But I am not surprised. The starry eyed optimistic young woman was a thing of the past by then.

Caroline has rarely spoken in depth about her life, especially in recent years -or allowed others to tell her story by way of an official biographer. I can’t imagine her changing this stance. So, we are left with our individual impressions from a few interviews she has done at different stages in her life. For what it’s worth, the impression I get is that the after the painful losses in her personal life when she was still relatively young, and the subsequent failure of her third marriage, she has found renewed purpose in her role as Princess of Monaco, supporting her brother in a wide range of roles/causes . The closeness between Caroline and all her children is evident in the interaction we see when they attend various events together. I think she comes across as a pretty well rounded a individual who is a credit to the Monegasque royal family.
