On the morning of Monday, 9 November 2026, Princess Charlène of Monaco, accompanied by her brother, Gareth Wittstock, visited Monaco's Public Security Department to learn more about the Police Academy's facilities, educational equipment and the various training programmes offered to future police officers.
Upon her arrival, the Princess was welcomed by H.E. Christophe Mirmand, Minister of State; Mr Lionel Beffre, Government Counsellor-Minister of the Interior; and Mr Éric Arella, Director of Public Security. Throughout the visit, Princess Charlène had the opportunity to speak with department heads, training staff and police recruits.
Nice baggy suit. Charlene doing Albert's jobs lately!
ReplyDeleteNice suit and her hair looks good, but I really don't like these white dress shirts she's been wearing so frequently lately. They're too harsh and masculine looking for Charlene in my opinion. She would benefit from a softer pairing with the suits she favours.
ReplyDeleteI like her white shirts, their collar is always nicely designed, not too tight to the neck.
DeleteFunny how different this can be seen (which is good). For me, exactly this stringent look is what she, in a quite unique way, pulls off. I cannot think of another royal woman who would look that good in this setup. My own little explanation for this is that her face is (well, has been made ) so absolutely "perfect", smooth, soft and feminine, almost sculpture-like, that it is enough to be feminine, so to speak. I am wondering about it each time myself.
DeleteHi 8:58, Interesting point. I don't know why she chooses this almost sterile styling - maybe simply preference, maybe to portray a certain persona she wants to/feels compelled to show? Some unusually dainty dresses this summer but now back to androgenous / masculine, and yet still looking elegantly feminine (if somewhat wooden in many photos - though that doesnt necessarily represent more than a few seconds of what may have been a smiley and engaging appearance). But yes, it is perhaps her highly refashioned and perfected face which allows her to nevertheless look very pretty. That, and her tall thin frame which allows her to wear all styles.
DeleteYet another wonderful pantsuit. This was perfect for this visit, she looks professional, stylish and elegant. Fits well, as does her shirt, neat and chic. Love the color of her shoes. Her brother is such a good level of support, accompanying the Princess to quite a few of her engagements. He is there but not front and centre, discreet, a very redeeming quality. He always looks well groomed and attired.
ReplyDeleteThis was a very good visit, one of substance. Well done Ma'am.
I think her brother's presence may have been deeply needed and appreciated by her over the years. I assume they have a close relationship, and I think it's really interesting how she's managed to integrate her family into Monaco and royal-support roles. I wonder what he did before? He seems always appropriate and very capable. // Re the pantsuit Ava, I don't see that it fits well. To me most of her suits look very loose, and I wonder quietly if she chooses them as a bit of a shield or cover (which if so, I couldn't blame her for! - being in the public eye must be tremendously stressful). Her summer dresses which were frequently soft materials matched her current body shape better than these quite hard suits and very buttoned up white shirts.
DeleteShe always looks sweet and pretty, but I do so wonder at the number of slightly oversized trouser suits one person needs to go through. If she had 5 (black, beige, blue, a brighter colour, and an evening tuxedo) in her wardrobe it would be equally elegant and completely enough.
ReplyDeleteDear anon. 06:45, you should get used to the idea that we'll never see a rewear on Princess Charlene. It will always be something new (colour, brand, design etc.).
DeleteI know 13:38… I live in hope of her being a better example of sustainability though!
DeleteQuite agree with 06:45. She also seems to be stuck in a rut with the buttoned up white blouse which I find particularly unattractive an reminiscent of school uniform!
ReplyDeleteA mon humble avis, ce tailleur-pantalon lui conviendrait mieux avec une veste moins large et légèrement plus courte ; qu’elle est belle quand on la voit de profil avec un maquillage délicat !
ReplyDeleteIt gets a bit boring, all these suits. A bit of fantasy would be more than welcome
ReplyDelete... or just some rewears, reuses of the previous suits, and a little first button open.
DeleteToujours très élégante dans la sobriété et un maquillage doux et parfait
ReplyDeleteTout ce que j aime
The pantsuit looks too wide to me. Lately she is putting very often her own accent on her clothes : wide suits, black, white, beige, light grey. Even the evening wear does not escape of these rules (the only difference with her daywear is sometimes a little bling).
ReplyDeleteAny theories as to why 16:03?
