Today at the Hotel Metropole in Monte-Carlo the future Princess of Monaco, Charlene Wittstock, attended a charity luncheon cleverly entitled, Ladies Lunch.   Miss Wittstock is the honorary President of this organization so it is her duty to show up looking fabulous as always, and to pretend that she is actually interested in talking with the other old ladies at this event.  I don’t know how she does it, but I give her props for having to spend three hours one hour with bored 50+ year-old women whose husbands are probably having affairs with hot Russian supermodels.

I’m kidding.

Well, only slightly.

Anyway, the Ladies Lunch, founded by Baroness Cécile de Massy in 2004, is actually a great charity organization.  You see, they usually raise a significant amount of money for various organizations such as the Académie de Danse Princesse Grace, charities for the children in Monaco and other “…Monegasque charity associations…” At the end of today’s event the Ladies Lunch raised 28,000 Euros (roughly $39,000+) which will be donated to the Académie de Danse Princesse Grace.

**Update and Correction! I have received a lovely email message from The Ladies Luncheon Monte Carlo board member, Madame Celina Lafuente de LaVotha, who kindly informed me that the future Princess of Monaco, Charlene Wittstock, participated at this event for only one hour.  She also informed me that she was none to pleased with the group photo backdrop, either.

So, thank you Madame de LaVotha for your information and may your next Ladies Lunch charity event be just as successful as today’s.  Oh, and since you asked me a very personal question:  Yes, I am taken.   Happily.    🙂

Again, thank you Madame de LaVotha for you inside information.  I appreciate it very much.   🙂

On the latest issue of the French magazine, Point de Vue, is the future Princess of Monaco, Charlene Wittstock, looking lovely in a long dress and her hair in a delicate ballerina bun.

The image of Miss Wittstock on the cover was taken at the when she was in South Africa to participate in the famous Midmar Mile Race as well as to raise money for the Special Olympics.  In the magazine there is a nice article about Charlene according to several French royal watchers.  If you happen to run across Point de Vue magazine at your local newsstand, read it or buy it.

On March 1, 2011, the future Princess of Monaco, Charlene Wittstock, enjoyed the afternoon on the slopes in Gstaad, Switzerland with her friends.  Meanwhile, HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco was no where to be found.  Why?  He was on his way back to sunny Monaco to prepare for his upcoming trip to Fort Myers, Florida.  So what’s the upcoming trip all about for the Prince?  Well, it’s a semi-important gig that no one cares about called The Art of the Olympians (I mentioned it about a month ago which you can read here.)  But, that doesn’t matter.

🙂

Moving on, Charlene and her friends continued to enjoy themselves in the snow as well as partaking in a cozy carriage ride (poor horse.)  It is unknown, as usual, how long the happy future Princess of Monaco will stay in Gstaad, but one thing is for sure… she’ll be back in Monaco or South Africa sooner than you think.

Now, I have to say this because it is so sad.  It seems that there are a small group of people who say that Charlene is hamming it up/attention whoring it for the cameras whilst in Gstaad, but I disagree.  I see a normal woman having fun like any other sane person on planet Earth.  I mean, who wouldn’t?  She’s on vacation with friends, FFS, whilst being photographed by the paparazzi.
