Princess Charlene’s “Escape Face” is getting more depressing, right?

Every time I see new photos of Princess Charlene, I get a stronger Princess Diana vibe. Especially now that Charlene has short, Diana-esque hair, and especially now that Charlene is telegraphing her depression during royal photo-ops with children. It really is Diana-esque.

Anyway, these are some new photos of Charlene and Prince Albert at two events – one is the now annual Monaco event, Monacology, which Albert started to highlight science and technology in Monaco – Charlene looked super-depressed at that event. The second was The Monaco Ambassadors Club honoring Roger Moore. Charlene looked a bit perkier for that one, but that was probably because she got to hang out with Roger Moore, because who doesn’t want to hang out with James Bond? Roger is old as dirt, and Charlene was acting extra friendly to him – good girl. Maybe Roger Moore will help her escape.

Anyway, there’s a complete dearth of Monaco royal news these days. No one is sniping about Charlene being an “embarrassment” and no one is even talking about the state of her womb. Is the royal-watcher community just flat-out ignoring Charlene at this point? Poor Charlene. She can’t even get people interested in her “ESCAPE?” face.

    She truly is the most miserable looking person I’ve seen.

  2. janie says:

    100000% HATE her outfit. She’s too beautiful to wear such ugly clothes, and to have to sleep with such an ugly man.

  3. Lindy says:

    Bright side: she’s wearing a quilted sleeping bag so that when she makes her escape across the French Alps, she can stay warm and dry.

  4. Snowangel says:

    She looks like she is about to throw up everywhere. And OMG is that Roger Moore beside her ? Wow, time flies.

  5. RocketMerry says:

    She better get pregnant fast, these Royals don’t look like patient people. Poor thing.

    • Happymom says:

      My theory is she is secretly on birth control pills so she can’t get pregnant-and then she’ll be released from her contract without the pain of having to give over her child.

  6. Gossip PHD says:

    Prince Albert is a better husband than, well, RFK Jr!

    • Candyland says:

      Huh, not so sure. Albert’s dongs been everywhere to. And at least RFK Jr. kinda is ok looking.

  7. aims says:

    She does look so unhappy. It makes my heart sad. I get the feeling, that at the end of the day, she goes into her room and cries in her pillow. She just looks so miserable. I guess I would to, if I had to be married to a womanizer, cold and distant man. There’s no amount of money anyone could pay me for that kind of life.

  8. some bitch says:

    She looks so sad. My heart breaks for her. I hope she gets a passport and is able to bail, and very soon too.

  9. WOM says:

    Is that Roger Moore in the first photo with Charlene and Albert?!

  10. RobN says:

    She’s smiling in the pictures where the other people are smiling, and not smiling in the pictures where the other people are not smiling. Anything else would actually be odd.

    Totally agree, however, that the dress is awful.

  11. melmel says:

    Look we can all feel bad for her but she was in a relationship for a long time. She knew who he was. She still married him for whatever her reasons. Hope she finds an escape route or something.

  12. for sure says:

    she is not going anywhere. he is way too rich.

  13. QQ says:

    Her Serene Highness Princess of Desperation and Despair looks Desperate

  14. only1shmoo says:

    Ugh, no one has the right to call Charlene “an embarrassment” given how appallingly Charlotte & Pierre Casiraghi behave, IMHO! People in the Cote d’Azur talk smack about them all the time.

  15. LAK says:

    I think the botox is fading, so face not so frozen anymore. However, what is up with her lips in that top picture??

  16. Embee says:

    I’m going with “pregnant and nauseous.” The cut of her coat would hide an early-stages of pregnancy bump.

    • Lady Lupton says:

      +1. Pregnant. Remember: Embee and I called it.

    • Candyland says:

      Eh. Yah, could be a tired and nauseous face. Not a depressed face. Or could be a depressed face. I’d hate like hello to get preggers by his dong.

      She looks young and fresh. He looks old and bloated. Poor her.

  17. Minxx says:

    I think she’s pregnant and feeling like curling up in bed instead of dressing up for an event. Add nausea and you have a miserable face. I’ve seen photos of her smiling and having a good time at other events.

  18. erika says:

    it’s really….sad?….well, gross to be doing charity work, especially for children when you can’t wipe the depression smog off your face…

    that’s pretty mean but…I would have loved to have been P, DI or P. Kate and do nothing but wear totally awesome, designer clothes, looking made up and beautiful and making the charity ’rounds..

    really…working with people in need/dire health trying to bring some joy and temporary relief

    if you compare the tragic circumstances (a 5 yr old facing terminal luekimia) to that of a barren (?), wealthy princess.

    Just…Fake it till ya make it Charlene at least around the needy

  19. Viv says:

    Oh please. She loves being First Lady of Monaco and she doesn’t want to go anywhere. She is just a miserable looking cow. A pretty cow. No one said she had to look happy to be doing this job. So go ahead, look as miserable as you like, Charlene.

  20. Alti says:

    Charlene and her failed plastic surgery… just stupid!

  21. Juliet says:

    OMG she must be doped to the eyeballs and the Palace must have one of those “private Hollywood doctors” who can prescribe anything. Her family must be desperate back home in Africa when they see pictures of her.

  22. Jayna says:

    I don’t feel sorry for her. She chose a sleezy middle-aged prince over happiness. I bet she is trying with all her might to get pregnant to secure her place and her financial future.

  23. Vesper says:

    When I googled past images of her she looked amazing in a lot of the pics. She definitely has a good sense of fashion. However, since her marriage all I see is matronly outfits. That dress is horrific.

  24. Nina says:

    Wow, I can FEEL her sadness when I look at these pictures. Not a fan of the outfit. I know blondes think they look amazing and sophisticated in whites and beiges, but it usually just makes them look washed out.

  25. Agnes says:

    I hope she’s pregnant rather than terribly depressed.

  26. Sachi says:

    Her face makes me sad.

    I honestly think the plastic surgeries have something to do with her not being able to properly express any emotion.

    Her face is so full of botox that every smile seems like a grimace and she looks like she’s in pain when she gives a big smile. I’d be looking anxious and scared too if I can’t move my face.

    I think the other photos of her looking nervous/sick are just that: she’s nervous. I don’t think she’s gotten the hang of attending royal events and meeting VIPs just yet. She looks more at ease when attending other events like tennis matches, swimming competitions, and when she’s interacting with children.

    That one photo of her looking faraway looks more sleepy and dreamy than sad and depressed.

    I don’t think she’s pregnant. She’s had this constipated/depressed/not-feeling-well look about her for the past 5-6 months and that was when the pregnancy speculation started, but so far nothing has happened.

    She needs to lay off the plastic surgeries, botox, lip injections, and whatever else she’s doing to herself. She looks cartoonish.

    I would give her this, though: she’s always appeared warm towards children and seems interested enough in her royal duties. She’s actually out there working, whether she accompanies Albert or she performs her own events.

    Being married to a creepy sleaze like Albert must be hard.

  27. molly says:

    Are you crazy?! She was at an event two nights ago and she looked happier than ever and tonight she posed with Eva Longoria at the Monte Carlo tv awards and looked very happy. Enough with the bs runaway bride story already. She dated Albert for six years, its not like this was an arranged marriage.

  28. Hm says:

    Isn’t she a free citizen? Why would she not have the right to marry/not marry on her own? Did they threaten to imprison her or murder her family?
