    Hard to see the fashion in this photo, but I’m drooling over the substantial diamond necklace and earrings! I personally wish for Charlene to bring back the blonde hair at some point. She can pull off this darker color for sure, but I think the blonde makes her sparkle even brighter!

      Agree, blonde makes her sparkle brighter. She is a very beautiful women and blonde is her best hair color.

      Same here, I found platinum blonde so perfect for her. Each time I saw her it was somehow breathtaking. This darker colour gives her a very plain appearance, which seems to be what she wants. (GM)

      Laughing. Charlene can never win. When she had blond hair she was criticised. No when she has dark hair she is criticised.

    4. Agree about the hair colour. The blond colour goes well against her skin tone.

      As a South African I also prefer Charlene with the blond hair. She looks depressed, sad and run down with the dark hair.

    6. I remember as a young girl and she was always blonde till recently.

    I can’t recognise Charlene anymore at 1st glance 😱 beside being brunette, her face has changed quite significantly is it? Or is it make up? Had to read to look at the pic again for Charlene!

    To me the darker hair on Princess Charlene makes her more matronly and not quite as glamorous! Fitzhugh

  10. Souriante la princesse Charlène mais je suis déçue de ne pas avoir pu zoomer cette photo afin de mieux admirer sa tenue ; par contre, magnifiques boucles d'oreilles et collier en diamants qui donnent une touche lumineuse à son look !

    1. Read the cheap "People" magazines at the check-out counter in your supermarket. There you will find the hot information on the divorce and other scandals relating to the Princess's private life.

      Absolutely well said, Deadeggs 👏👏👏👍😉
      By the way, if Charlene had sported her usual platinum blonde hair shades together with the Akris patent leather black evening gown featured on one of the latest posts, the result would have been even more terrific!
      Other than that, she looks wonderful with this darker hair hue as well.

      I just want to add that I get the impression- or I should say I'm sure by now?- that you a have a sort of personal interest when talking about royals' marriages, divorces, sadness, body features and- in relation to other of your commentaries on various posts- ageism and bodyshaming.
      Why do you always insist on these points?
      It looks like a loop on your mind.
      Oh, I can guess why...

      What's your motivation for this rather bizarre insistence that all Anonymous posts are made by the same person? It also seems to be a loop jn your mind.

  18. I think she has gone too dark with the hair now. It was getting a bit lighter and longer a few weeks ago. I actually did not recognize her at first and wondered who he was having dinner with.

    2. I've done a tour of the net and found only two photos of Princess Charlene at the foundation's dinner.
      She is wearing a white-ist pant suit (no baggy pants) 😁
      No reference to the fashion house.
      Haven't included the link as it wouldd be promoting another royal site.

  21. Diamond earrings and necklace are stunning and are perfect with this dress.
    I agree with other comments about Charlene's hair color. This particular shade of brown is too dark for her skin tone and does her no favors. While I very much disliked previous platinum (nearly white) shades of her past color, a deeper shade of blonde or even a brownish-blonde would be more flattering.

    The dark hair is not flattering at all. She looks very dull with the dark hair. The white blonde was making her look stylish and classy. And brighter. Pity she chooses to make herself look so uninteresting. Her makeup has also become practically non existent. Come on Charlene, you can look so stunning with blonde!

    I hope this can serve as a lesson. This photo was not a planned press photo and I would bet it was taken candidly be someone known to the couple. Charlene looks so happy and relaxed because she IS happy and relaxed. Albert doesn't know it is being taken at all. We have seen some pictures of her in the past that she was unaware were being taken, and the result was the same. Instead of looking at a photo and trying to figure out what she is thinking and feeling, what the state of her marriage is, wondering what the psychological meaning of her current hair color means, let's go with the obvious. Like most of us, being in public, on display, with cameras and reporters all around her recording every moment for praise and criticism worldwide, she is not comfortable. She wasn't born into this life and may never develop a thick skin or get used to being the subject of large crowds. She is making sure her children are more comfortable, which they do seem to be at this stage. Try to imagine how you would feel if every photo of you were read like tea leaves by internet psychics. This photo should give everyone a lot to think about. We are seeing the real Charlene here, not her public persona. She is glorious!

  25. The new pictures are much better than the first one. Charlene looks quite good in the white suit. I am not a fan of her darker hair color.

  26. Superbe look que nous voyons mieux sur les photos qui ont été rajoutées ; le blanc lui sied à ravir car il contraste avec sa couleur de cheveux quoique j'aurais bien aimé une couleur vive !

    There is something peculiar with the colours (at least in my laptop):
    1st photo (at the table) Charlene's hair is very dark as is also Albert's suit. In the 2nd and 3rd photo (all standing) C's hair is medium brown and A's suit medium gray. And it also seems that at table Albert is without tie (?)
    And a comment about being photographed: Quite recently I was sitting at photographer's for a birthday photo. The photographer was desperate. Not a single photo with a smile! I just can't smile when looking straight to the camera. Perhaps I'm not the only one doing that. (And my dark navy blouse was BLACK in the photo!).
