She is an actress and model. That explains everything. Clotilde, married to a Prince of the ancient and respected House of Savoy, does not behave like a royal lady but always and ever goes into "model mode" (head tilted, goldfish lips, shoulders a bit rotated, legs crossed strategically and looking into the camera, preferrably with seducing eyes). See the would-be Queen of Italy, and here and here and here. So maybe you can imagine how the Italian high and mighty, the Borgheses, the Borromeos, the Aldobrandinis, the Orsinis, etc. look to that couple. Another criticism is the absolute shallowness of the events Clotilde attends: anything which has no red carpet lined with shouting paperazzi seems not interesting for madame. Her husband, Emmanuele Filiberto, is even more shallow and superficial, contending in shows like "Dancing With The Stars" or reality shows. In contrary to other non-reigning royal houses like Romania, Portugal or France, the Savoys seem to have zero interest in their immense patrimonium, in preserving their heritage, in maintaining the high dignity and respect the House once had.
The "other side" Prince Aimone and Princess Olga di Savoia-Aosta (née of Greece) try to maintain a more traditional appearance. The Prince has served in the Italian Navy and is now in the board of Pirelli Russia/Scandinavia, mainly residing in Moscow. His spouse Princess Olga has given birth to two sons and a daughter. In due time (Emmanuele Filiberto and Clotilde have no sons) the headship of the House will go to Prince Aimone and then his eldest son Prince Umberto (painting by his mother Princess Olga). Here Prince Umberto with his brother Prince Amedeo.
