Prince Albert & Princess Charlene kiss for Monaco National Day: cute or gross?

wenn21941744

Here are some (awkward) photos of Prince Albert and Princess Charlene today in Monaco, on the balcony of The Prince’s Palace (I guess?). They were celebrating Monaco National Day, and Albert and Charlene waved to the crowds and kissed in public. And it was kind of gross. Charlene has gotten very big! She’s super-knocked up. Like, I think she’s going to give birth in the next month. Word is that she’s due in December, but she’s expecting twins and don’t twins usually come early? I hope – again – that at least one of the babies is a boy. Even though the Monaco constitution has been changed, if she has two girls, there’s still going to be an expectation for her to provide a male heir.

I do have to give Charlene some credit in these photos – she looks more approving of Albert than we’ve ever seen. Usually she looks like she’s sick of him, but I’m actually getting a “loved up” vibe from her. Perhaps it’s just the hormones. Meanwhile, Albert doesn’t really look like the joyful expectant father. My take: he’s never really cared about fatherhood one way or the other.

I’m also including some photos of Princess Caroline, Sacha Casiraghi and Andrea Casiraghi and Andrea’s wife Tatiana Santo Domingo. Sacha is the blonde toddler in-between Andrea and Caroline. He’s only 19 months old and I think he was surprisingly well-behaved for this outing. Did you know Tatiana is knocked up again? They announced that a few weeks ago. I’m not sure if that’s why Tatiana has to stand so far apart from Andrea. Also: Andrea lost the hot in a big way. Good God.

    I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. Guess ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

  2. Eleonor says:

    Can you feel the passion ?

  3. wolfpup says:

    I wouldn’t want to kiss him no matter how many stars he is wearing on his belly. Maybe for money…

    • Sabrine says:

      They both look happy and contented. They’re not going to be all over each other in public so of course a chaste kiss is in order. He looks like a lot of middle aged men, so no surprise there. Not all of them are muscle bound freaks with perfect hair. As long as he’s good to her and is no longer tomcatting around, that’s all that matters. I’m sure they’re both excited about the upcoming birth of the twins!

    Hooollyy shiiiiiizzzz Andrea Looks Like a Major case of Post Meth Looks

  5. lower-case deb says:

    wow. Albert looks he has extreme case of sympathetic pregnancy. like his water will break any time soon.

  6. LAK says:

    That’s a better balcony kiss than the one they had on their wedding day. That was such a horrid kiss.

    • FLORC says:

      That whole day looked so depressing for her. Almost anything is a step up.

    • Birdix says:

      Pregnancy hormones! I have several friends who looked moony-eyed at their husbands the entire pregnancy. The only thing I was looking moony-eyed at was Max’s fettucini.

  7. Shelby says:

    What happened to my high school crush, Andrea Casiraghi?! I remember having a picture of him 14 years ago in my notebook. He was 16 then and my 13 year old self was so obsessed with him.

  8. Loopy says:

    For the first time she doesn’t seem like she is looking for an escape route.

  9. captain hero says:

    Dang, Andrea has lost the hot in a big way! So disappointing – long time crush gone. Also Tatiana has a face like a slapped arse.
    I’m still desperately hoping Caroline has some plans up her sleeve to get power for her grandson. I just can’t stand Albert and his captive.
    Yes I am way too invested in these people.

    • Bridget says:

      I don’t know… Caroline’s a pretty nasty piece of work herself.

      • PunkyMomma says:

        ^This. Caroline knows all of Albert’s dirty little secrets. I’d never bet against her.

      • Bridget says:

        There’s not a ton Caroline can do, those babies seal that deal. Aside from making everyone miserable.

    • Someonestolemyname1 says:

      Yes, surrrre so captive she travels the world by herself and returns and dated him for a decade and lived in Monaco for years before marrying. That’s some captive. LOL

  10. Mi says:

    I don’t know why such man wh%re who probably f%cked everything that moves and doesn’t hide is able to have a normal and loyal wife.or maybe that woman is not normal to be with this something.What is his nickname?His Majesty Impregnator.ble

  11. Murphy says:

    I’m very confident that both or one of those twins is a boy. It seems very likely that they would have done selective IVF to ensure it.

    If they’re both boys, Charlene gets a mansion in South Africa and only has to come back to Monaco 2 or 3 times a year.

    • Someonestolemyname1 says:

      Oh please Charlene aint going no where,she hung in there for ten years dating him, to become Princess of Monaco.
      This is not a weak woman or even a naive one.

    • Lizette says:

      Personally I don’t think she will divorce Albert or even seperate from him. She will most likely not get custody of the babies. The Grimaldis will not let the legitimate heir to the throne be brouhgt up outside the principality!!!

  12. Tanguerita says:

    “Gross” doesn’t even start to describe this wonderful fuzzy feeling in the pit of my stomach. I’m in fear of losing my my lunch.

  13. minx says:

    He is revolting.

  14. Konspiracytheory says:

    Itty, bitty chubby toddler knees – squee!!!

    • LadySlippers says:

      Squee!

      😜

      And boy does Sasha look like his Papa! Lol

    • Sharon Lea says:

      Yes – those baby’s knees made me smile too! Sacha is a cutie.

      • Feeshalori says:

        Muncha, muncha, muncha on those pudgy knees. My cannibal instincts have awakened! And Sacha can certainly give fashion tips to Grumpy George. He looks like a little grumpster himself, BTW.

  15. SoCal says:

    Awkward.
    Where was Charlene once they were outside? Why was she hiding?

  16. Carrie says:

    Holy CRAP. I remember seeing Andrea in those teen magazines in the late 90s because my sister loved them and he was…..he didn’t look like that. It took me a second to even FIND him in the picture.

  17. kri says:

    She looks like she is about to kiss the ass of a cat who is still in the litter box. I don’t blame her. Hopefully it’s two boys, so she dosn’t have to go near him again.

  18. Someonestolemyname1 says:

    They look happy to me.
    Congrats.
    I guess since the runaway stories turned out to be False, some will keep believing it, even if she’s there for the next 25 years.
    She looks healthy and happy, IMO.

  19. Dany says:

    She was so pretty and natural all the years when she was his longtime-girlfriend. He broke the protocol several times and took her everywhere and they were always flirty and funny. Then her style and looks changed. Designer clothes, plastic surgery (new nose), botox and new teeth for the wedding… and now her face looks so tight and frozen. The pregnancy makes it look worse. She has a pregnancy-meets-botox-face. It was the same with Carla Bruni´s face.

    Somehow i think Charlene tried too hard to adapt the chic monaco billionaire style so she can please everyone. It doesn´t work. It just shows how insecure she is in her role. She looks uncomfortable in front of the cameras. But when you see paparazzi shots of the couple or party photos from friends Charlene looks full of life and happy. Charlene has a serious problem with cameras and posing and that is more than unfortunate because it is her life/ job.

    • LadySlippers says:

      •Dany•

      A few Tumblr blogs tried to figure out ALL the work done to Charlene’s face and it’s fairly extensive. Charlene even had work to her *ears* which is the one that stood out for me. Ear work. Wow.

      (She had her ears pinned down because she had kinda Dumbo/Prince Charles’ ears)

  20. Jackson says:

    What a group picture. Why do all of their clothes look so poorly fitted? I assume they can afford to have them tailored, no?

  21. Sister Carrie says:

    Is Tatiana wearing an evening clutch on her head?

  22. scout says:

    Awkward looking royal bunch.

  23. smee says:

    I’ve kissed my mom with more gusto than that!

  24. PJ says:

    Oh my God: That baby’s knee socks, brown leather shoes and matching velvet(!) bloomers are KILLING me!! Take note Duchess Kate 😄

  25. Charlotte says:

    Seriously, what is going on with this family? They’re starting to look like an assortment of freaks! They used to look wholesome and happy even with all of the marriages and the illegitimate children but ever since Alberts wedding they’ve become a bunch of misfits! RIP andreas good looks

  26. lisa says:

    i hope charlene pops out nothing but boys, i cant ever open gossip to find princess tatiana looking out at me, she looks like a mule.

  27. Olenna says:

    I usually like what Caroline wears, but this granny suit is not becoming. The baby is adorable. Charlene and Albert, well…what can I say? Like someone else said, she hung in there for 10 years, so she must feel a little something akin to affection for him. But, all the $$ in the world couldn’t force me to mate with that philandering toad.
