Why do you assume Andrea studied at NEw School? I think in his Vanity Fair interview he confirmed he was attending a Politics Master at NYU...

Yes they were. The whole island saw them.

L'Express, as far as I know, is a weekly magazine, which deals with economic political and societal analysis (maybe like Time, I guess, or the Economist? I am not sure; we should ask someone from France to be sure). Vatican is the surname of the quoted person, and the article is not about gossip...

Apparently there is also a very negative article about Albert in L'Express. Among other negative comments, a quote from Bernard Vatican "Celle qui est formidable, c'est Caroline, mais une loi stupide lui interdit de monter sur le trône" (meaning more or less, "the outstanding one is Caroline...

Thanks for the scans. Is that in the first scan an old pic or was Ernst at the wedding? ETA: sorry, I hadn't read the date of the scans...

Yes, Grace was a Catholic but she had a very pragmatic attitude in regards to religion: when Caroline had problems with her first husband she was reluctant to separate or divorce because of her religion and it was Grace who encouraged her arguing that "religion should not be there to make people...

Beatrice is working in Rome, so I guess she moved there. I don't know if Pierre moved too or just visits often.

One of the words in the title seem "of", which is not an Italian word so I'm assuming English newspaper. Due to the delays also in train stations I frankly expected someone would pick them up in a car...

Are you sure they were in Paris? The words on the posters in the shop seem to be in Italian, and if Pierre was there, it could make sense Char and Alex were visiting him in Milan (or maybe Rome)... thanks to the Iceland volcano, if they are in Italy they are probably stranded there. ETA: you're...

The Princely family has an allowance, however the money is collected (there might not be income taxes but the State has other sources of income on which the Prince and his family live). My point is that I don't have any moral issue with people having relationships out of wedlock, but Charlene...

My issue with Albert and Charlene is no that they are not married but that they are in a completely grey area: if he doesn't want to marry, as is his prerogative, he should either date her in private (i.e. no official functions for her) or be brave and honest, declare he does not intend to...

Hello published it this week, and Vanity Fair in Italy, so, assuming the original interview was in French, we have three translations, but not the original published. maybe some French mag will pick it up in the next few weeks?

In which language do you think Andrea gave the original interview? My guess is French, and it is odd that the interview has been now publish in a Spanish, English and Italian version but not (as far as I know) by a French mag. I would have liked to read his original words instead of translations...

I think Chantal and Caroline are best defined as acquaintances, or distant friends. There is no evidence whatsoever that they ever were best friends or that they even saw much of each other after their youth...the press provides such a detailed account of Caroline's life that had they been such...

It was the wedding of Ginevra Elkann, sister of Lapo and grandchild of Gianni Agnelli.
