They did it! They did it!


I've been watching and occasionally commenting upon the pregnancy status of Princess Charlene of Monaco, the former South African swimmer named Charlene Wittstock.  As you may recall (and if you don't I'll tell you) the circumstances surrounding their marriage were somewhat unusual, as it appeared that the pending princess wanted to get out of the marriage and out of Monaco just before walking down the aisle, when news came out that Prince Albert might have been the father of three illegitimate kids, rather than the two confirmed ones. There were reports that she was strongly encouraged to remain and go through with it, though recently she has stated in an interview that was all hogwash and she just had a basic case of the nerves.  Even so,  she didn't look very happy at the actual wedding, and she wasn't exactly accepted as the putative First Lady of Monaco for awhile (a lot of the Monacans appear to prefer Caroline), but more recently she seems to have fit in better, and even looked fairly happy in the company of Albert. (Like here.)

Though she is rarely captured in casual dress, she can take chances and be pretty striking in them, such as here.

Getting back to the news of the day, it appears that the Prince has shot and scored.  Oh, that was tasteless.  But still, somebody had to be thinking the same thing.


Monaco's Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene expecting baby

"Monaco's Prince Albert II and his South African wife Princess Charlene have announced they are expecting their first child.

In a short statement, the couple - who married in July 2011 - expressed their "immense joy" at the news.

The statement said the birth was expected before the end of the year, but gave no further details."
The Daily Mail's take
