I suppose he is one of the members of the jury of the Prince Pierre Foundation. I did not find his name.

Its pretty hard to go on for a second masters, when you haven't finished a degree, so yes Andrea for sure has. At least 1, but as I have read several places, he finished his first masters as well. He will graduate next year from his program in Spain. Whether Piere finished or not,  not certain, but he is busy working, and learning the family business.

^Yes, which lead us to Charlotte that apparently hasn't finished. But in her Vogue interview she said she did...I think  Now i'm not sure.
In other forum i've read that in a spanish magazine it says that Andrea is going to settle now in Monaco to work as diplomatic. And that Pierre has the is the major shareholder of his father company.
It also says Charlotte trying to qualify for London 2012.

Nice Photo.  She looks good here.

[KittyHeaven]

Flor...she DOES look good in that photo...more like the radiant Caroline I grew up idolizing and trying to emulate.

Funny...she does not seem to be missing E-A at all. She looks more relaxed and less stressed than I have seen her in years.

Charlotte's riding has improved enormously, but she is not yet at the Olympic level. She has a ways to go in order to truly compete. Since she is representing Monaco, I'm sure she could technically qualify now. If you compare Charlotte's riding experience to that of Zara, it's really no contest even though one is a show jumper and the other is an eventer. JMO

Caroline's dark outfit looks stunning on her; understated but with perfect detail.
It really suits her age.
Caroline has been choosing clothes that compliment her middle aged figure very well.
She looks fresh, energetic and free flowing.

Recently she has that "glow" about her.

ITA with you all... one of the best caroline seen lately, and the photo isn't a very good quality either... it's just that smile! wonderful!

Herbert Groenemeyer? Sunnyi Melles? Alexandra Von Rehlingen? Matthias Prinz? It's so strange to see them there 

PeDe, they were not in Monaco but at the Berlin event - so maybe a little less strange....

Pierre bought out the majority shares of his father's company, and has been working with his uncle, on the construction side. It is why, or so it is said, that he did his business degree.

Andrea is not done his new masters, not until I think spring of this coming year. Then I'd not be surprised if he returned to Monaco, and since his degrees are in international politics, being a diplomat makes sense. He is also at an University in Madrid, so a spanish magazine doesn't seem an odd source.

I doubt that Charlotte would lie in a magazine like Vogue about being done school. Other reports just said it hadn't been confirmed, not that she had not completed it. It would be interesting to see if she made the 2012 Olympics, especially if Zara competes as well.

ITA. Though years of experience doesn't neccessarily equate a better rider, I don't think Charlotte is at Zara's level or close. But coming from a small country, with minimal competition to qualify, she may have a chance. I remember a summer Olympics they showed a race, it was a qualifier but it had the slowest racers in it. Only one even completed the race. It was a guy who took 10 to 12 times longer than the race should take, but he came from a country, where the only pool they had access to, was a small hotel pool. And if you could swim, you made the team. I remember this guy getting a standing ovation by many, for just completing it.

  thank you  I understood when I read an related article later, but couldn't change the post anymore  but thank you for letting me know, dear Stefanie

I have to disagree with you about riders and experience. The jumper courses at the Olympic level require experience just to get around the course. An inexperienced rider will get into trouble quickly, not to mention the risk of getting seriously hurt.  Charlotte has improved but she is not ready to ride an Olympic course. You can't equate other sports with equestrian sports. No other Olympic sport uses an animal to compete. So finishing a running race can not be compared to Olympic show jumping. I was an equestrian in my youth and still ride for pleasure. My daughter competes in the jumper division a level below Charlotte. It's a tough sport. There's a reason there is always an ambulance stationed near the course. Zara is a true Olympic caliber rider and dedicates all her time to her sport. Also Zara is an eventer and Charlotte is heading in the direction of the Grand Prix show jumping. My daughter has evented and now does show jumping. Totally different skills needed at the Olympic level between these two disciplines.
