I fell in love with Charlotte's dress.Tatiana and Margherita looked amazing too.
Agreed, the Good news is that the Gala must go on, the bad news is that members of the ruling family won’t be there the entire evening. I am divided too. I think that this difficult situation could only happen in a small principality. A larger country would have more royal relations that could step in place of the ruling prince at a gala, should such a sad event occurred before a scheduled ball. They managed the best that they could, given the suddenness of Princess Antoinette’s death. If my great aunt passed suddenly, I would not be in a celebratory mood either; attending the ball must not have been an enjoyable task for the Casiraghi’s . I wonder why the girlfriends of Pierre and Andrea were not attired in all black?
Per another poster on the jewelry thread the brooch used to belong to Princess Grace ....
The Casiraghi trio were amazing!
but the fact that the Casiraghi trio were there to represent the dynasty may say more than what is in appearances alone.
Commendations to the Grimaldis in how this was handled and especially those exceptional youngsters the Casiraghis.
Agree!
Caroline has raised her children with the deep concience of their obligations towards Monaco. Since they were very young they have always appeared to the official events.
Stephanie has raised her children completely at the opposite site. Fully absents from any official obligation, as if they were not related at all to the princely family.
But they don't have any obligation. Look at the lives Edward and Sophie are trying to give Louise and James. Or how Zara and Peter were raised as well. The fact is Stephanie is no longer the daughter of the reigning prince, but the sister, and one of her children is not even in line for the throne. Stephanie herself took up the cause of AIDS since the death of her father, creating her own foundation in Monaco for it. Considerin her daughters are only 17 and 13, still in school, at least for them it isn't too surprising. Pauline is quite busy, she is actually a junior olympic level diver, she was in the youth olympics in Singapore in 2010.
Caroline on the other hand stands as heir to the throne, until her brother has a child, and her sons after her. She has served as acting princess, hostess for her father and now her brother for years. It makes a lot more sense she would be active, and her children as well.
I do not agree with you. It is not question of rank or being the doughter or the sister of the sovereign, it is question of character. Stephanie never accepted her position, and she participated the less possible in any official event and she decided to raise her children according to her mentality, she never showed them on official occasions, she even not bring them at Prince Rainier's funeral. Ok, Camille was very young but Louis and Pauline could have been there. It was THEIR granfather.

I like the dress better on Charlotte, perhaps because Charlotte is so stunning she makes almost anything look good?
If I had seen that same dress on that particular model first, I would not have been impressed at all, for example.
Both the catwalk model and Charlotte are too thin, though,.![]()
^ I think Charlotte's face is beautiful, her body is amazing, but there is something strange when we look at her. I prefered her when she had a more womanly shape (I don't know if these words are correct!) : she is a mediterranean beauty! I don't want her to have Monica Bellucci's body, but Charlotte is not a natural thin woman, she's born to have breasts, hips, to have a woman's body.
That's just my mind, but if Charlotte feels better in a thinner body, it's ok!
She is only 24, she has been maturing from her teen body. Some teens are gangly and skiny, some have puberty weight. She is growing into the woman she will be. Not all people from the Mediteranean have big hips and tits. She is definitely not unhealthy skiny, yes she is skinnier then before, but she is an athlete. She works out a lot, she shouldn't have to eat twice normal, to put on some weight, so she looks more 'mediteranean' for people.
Oops, I never wanted to say that because she was half italian she has to have big hips and tits! I don't speak english very well and it's difficult to explain what I think.
I just wanted to say that as an half italian girl, she could be supposed to have a more womanly figure. I find her beautiful as she is, but I think she would be even more beautiful with a little bit of breast, of hips.
And according to me, Charlotte's weight is only Charlotte's own business, she has to feel good in her body, that's the only thing that is important!![]()
