--Previous Message-- : I have to agree with Clementine's criticism : that Albert II and Charlene are not exactly : showing themselves as reigning sovereigns. : In my view his white jacket on the tuxedo is : even worse than her lack of jewels. : The Rose ball has for years if not decades : been a black tie event instead of a white : tie one. This has resulted in the women of : the family not wearing a tiara. As the new : Sovereign Princess Charlene could have : chosen a different set up but she hasn't. : Unfortunately Monegask princely events have : a higher new money glitz than a royal : glamour appeal. Charlene has not (yet?) been : able to change that. : : --Previous Message-- : Dear Clementine, I am honest to you and want : you to tell you how absolutely unpleasant : your entirely negative posts about a person : you (most likely) don't know personally are. : All of your options (actually can I not take : one single for serious) are tendenciously : and purely negative. : : One may lament the lack of jewels with HSH, : but these suggestions (...does she think : that...) are not of my taste. I'm convinced, : that messages of this quality are better : placed at Royal Dish... : : The Princess of Monaco will have her reasons : not to wear big jewellery recently. May it : be because she doesn't like it, maybe she : does not feel at ease with or for any other : reason neither you nor I know (and have to : know!). HSH does not owe an explanation to : noone (except maybe her husband), why she so : rarely wear her big jewels. : : : --Previous Message-- : I didn't speak only about the Red Cross : Ball, : but about all the big events she attended : for one year. : Between the visit of a school and an State : dinner in Berlin, it seems to me that a : difference has to be made with the jewels we : wear. With Charlene I would even say that : more the event is important, less the jewels : are present ! : Let's be honest, what can be the reasons? : - She has lost the key of the safe (dixit : Glenn)? : - She has sold her jewels to make some money : ? : - Her skin is allergic to the gold and to : the platinum ? : - The economic crisis and the poverty are so : important in Monaco that Prince Albert has : suggested to his wife not to shock the : opinion with her jewels ? : - She always chooses sparkling gowns which : don't need to wear any jewels ? : - She thinks that jewels are for the old : ladies who want to make their wrinkles : forget ? : I'm sorry, but the last one remains the less : fanciful for me : : : : Every new sovereign has the right to set the tone of his/her reign. To compare HSH Princess Charlene to her mother-in-law is most unfair since Grace was the product of Hollywood glamour. Of course I would love to see HSH Charlene adorned with diamonds and tiaras. It's a different era.
