On July 10, 2012, Their Serene Highnesses Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco visited Stuttgart as part of their two-day official visit to Germany.
Upon their arrival at Stuttgart Airport, the princely couple were greeted by the Finance and Economics Minister for the State of Baden-Württemberg, Dr. Nils Schmid and his wife. Soon, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene made a mad dash to the Mercedes-Benz Museum. Whilst there they were given a private tour of an exhibition featuring 125 classic cars and the history of Mercedes-Benz. Dr. Joachim Schmidt, Member of the Executive Board of Mercedes-Benz, was thrilled to have the prince and princess visit the exhibition, “We are very honored to have them here and that they specially requested to visit us [the museum] and our research center.”
The princely couple also visited the Bosch Company (it’s an electronics and engineering company) whereupon the sovereign prince signed, “… a memorandum of understanding for a feasibility study on the subject of ‘Network-centric City.'” Apparently, the government in Monaco wishes to “…implement solutions for mobility, energy, health and communication…” according to Bosch Chairman, Mr. Franz Fehenbach.
Huh. Okay. Moving on.
Afterward, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene arrived at the beautiful Villa Reitzenstein where they were greeted by the Minister-President of the State of Baden-Württemberg, Mr. Winfried Kretschmann, and his wife, Gerlinde. After a quick photo-op, Minster-President Kretschmann ushered the princely couple into the villa where they signed the guest-book and attended a lovely reception held in their honor.
During the event, attended by dozens of government officials and VIPs, Minster-President Kretschmann “praised” the sovereign prince for his commitment to environmental protection stating:
I am pleased that the prince is committed to environmental issues and above all to his commitment in the field of renewable energy.
Fabulous. 🙂

ik heb genoten van dat mooie paar ,ik wens ze geluk ,ik hou van ze !!
After seeing their appearances in Germany, I am going to have to call Charlene the Princess of Botox now.
Honestly, I wish she would stop. She doesn’t need it, in my opinion. 🙂
Is it just me or has she completely messed up her BEAUTIFUL face by freezing her forehead? Her lips look all wonky too. I wish that she would allow someone to do her hair and if someone is…that person needs to be replaced. She did not look like this last summer…am I wrong?
Prior to her wedding she lost a tremendous amount of weight. Now, it seems that she has gained some of the weight back, but she still looks great, in my opinion. 🙂
With regards to cosmetic enhancements as I said before she doesn’t need it especially the fillers.
