Yes, she is. She's entitled Princess Charlene of Monaco, not Princess Albert of Monaco.

I take it you mean Charlene. Albert is the Head of State and Sovereign who opens the Ball with the first dance after wards everyone can dance. He use to open with Caroline or Stephanie.

I just found out that it is really not Princess Charlene of Monaco as she is not Princess born like Caroline, Alexandra ,and Stephanie. Her title is HSH, The Princess of Monaco. She is not a princess in her own right like they are.

In the official page of the Princely Family she is listed as HSH Princess Charlene. :whistling:
Before the wedding it was announced that she would have that style.
Homepage - Prince
 
All 3 Princesses looked lovely at the Red Cross Ball (August 2011). Loved all their dresses charlene/caroline/stephenie.

Iceflower what happened to the post you responded to that was asking why wasn't Charlene called Princess Albert? I don't like this new thing of having the edited by and reason not showing in the posts because people can change them and it throws our responses like this off.

Charlene's marriage made her HSH Princess Charlene of Monaco. Take a look at the homepage Palace web site
H.S.H. Prince Albert II and H.S.H. Princess Charlene

The mods keep saying post sources.
 
I don't get the sense of this discussion.
Charlene is now Princess Charlene just like Mary is now Princess Mary and like Maxima and like Letitia are Princesses (Crown Princesses) now.
By marrying Prince Albert she got the title :excl:

Here are the first moving pics from youtube:

Thank you Smush for posting the video :flowers:


I would love to know who is that geeky guy sitting next to Princess Stephanie.I think she needs a geeky guy in her life but alas,he's not her type I supposed.:lol:
 
Sorry to be a pain, but it would be nice if, on the larger events, we could include some mention of Elisabeth-Ann and Mélanie de Lusignan alongside the three princesses.
They are so regular in their attendance, and I thought Albert's "cousine" looked very interesting, especially her hair.
 
Princess Caroline was present at the gala of the red cross . She was not here in 2009 nor 2010, but this year, she was here and it was fine.Many monegash people said it was because she wanted to show her suport to the princely couple against the rumours on the couple at the moment of the wedding.She was in holidays and she returned in Monaco to be here at the Gala.
 
Not possible to see the video n Belgium.
HSH Charlène is Princesse de Monaco , Caroline is HRH Princess Caroline and Stephanie HSH Princess Stephanie.
Like Princess Grace was Princess of Monaco and Marie-Antoinette Princess Marie Antoinette
 
Melina Première - Nice to see you again :)

It's really nice of Caroline to break off her holiday !!
 
I also got the message saying the video couldn't be played in my country when I clicked on the "play" button but when I clicked on the line that says "Albert II et Charlene ....etc" at the top of the screen it worked so to anyone else having trouble, try this.

I can't see anything edited, LadyMacAlpine, the option of invisible editing has been blocked as to the
mentioned consequences, but maybe it sometimes works nevertheless. You can write me a PM for
further questions on that.

I loved that Caroline was at this ball. A presence very much missed.
If i'm not mistaken, the Casiraghis have never attended this Ball. Well, i think i saw Pierre was there once, but i'm not sure.
 
Stephanie's gown is really exquisite. Keep up the good work, Princess!

Caroline's dress is not something I would wear, but she is putting African designers on the map...and I love her for that!

As for Charlene, I think Akris doesn't really flatter her in general. But I think she looks really beautiful here, including hair and makeup.

The Ocean Tiara/Necklace is stunning. :whistling:
 
Princess Charlene looks beautiful. Its a beautiful color and although I don't love the design of the dress it is acceptable. I don't know why Charlene looks more like a Princess than Stephanie and Caroline.

Well, that depends on the eye of the person. For me she looks like an actress, not a princess
 
I like Caroline's dress, it's got a little flair and a cool mix of patterns. Stephanie's is pretty, but kind of blah. Charlene...oh just think if this gown were in ocean or aqua blue, how it would look with that tiara/necklace! Sometimes I think Charlene is a little afraid to be beautiful.
 
It's really a shame that both Caroline and Stephanie were such lovely young women but time/problems and too much sun, and probably cigarettes have done their damage. They both look very careworn. Stepanie's dress is lovely and Caroline's is ok, but looks like it might be more appropriate for party around the pool. Charlene looks really lovely and I agree Scarebaby that if her gown had been in a shade of blue it would have been spectacular.
 
Great photos, it is so nice to see the family united and sharing their happiness; Prince Albert and Princess Charlene look so good together.
 
I might need to see better pictures of the dress, but I think both Stephanie and Caroline look like they are dressed for a pool party. Not elegant enough imo. As for their looks, Stephanie especially looks rough, I honestly don't know what happened to her.
 
Caroline and Stephanie looked nicer than in some other years. Charlene's dress color didn't show her necklace to it's best advantage. She wore another strapless dress, in almost the same design as she always wears. I was glad to see all the main family attending.

Well that woman is wearing the wrong dress, it looks ugly as does she. She's not stunning but tired, old and almost leathery. Same goes for Stephanie, who at least wore a semi-elegant dress.


I like Charlene's gown, but she needs to stay out of the sun, it's ruining her complexion.

Uhhmmm...Don't care for the dress as well. But IMHO, and as a man...I think Caroline is still a stunningly Beautiful woman!:flowers:
To say she is Old and tired is unfair, and I think the more regular posters would agree with me. WE ALL have our tastes and our own definitions of "class", most of us on here still think Caroline is a beautiful classy lady!!!:flowers::flowers::flowers:
Don't bother responding....I'm waaay over getting into fights with people on here.:whistling:
 
I wonder how they expect Caroline to look. She´s 54, she has not gone through surgeries. Leave her alone! The same for her sister. They have lived life to the fullest, they like sun. It must be very difficult to live near the Mediterranean and not sunbathe on vacation!!! I prefer those wrinkles that they carry on so elegantly, and not a plastic face full of botox.:whistling:
 
rosana - I agree with you 100 percent.....

These women have lived, they have lived-in faces, lived-in bodies, and lived-in minds and hearts.

They should be praised for them, not belittled or scorned !

Agree with yoo. Both Caro and Stephanie made the choice not to do anything in their faces, it is their right.

Nevertheless, they take care of their body and their elegance.

It is A CHOICE not to interevene with surgery, and we have to respect this choice, and not to say that they are old, or whatever else.

Someone prefer to appear their age, someone prefer to have artificially full faces. We have to respect both choices!
 
I also believe that if Charlene's gown was in a complementary color, the necklace would have been more outstanding. While the piece is large, it's very subtle and delicate and was overwhelmed, I thought, by the strong color of the dress. To me, Charlene's classic good looks are complemented by pastels.
