Though Kate Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge, would oftentimes opt for traditional (which is now looking boring on her, quite frankly) British clothing in the form of structured jackets, wrap dresses and tweeds Charlene, now the Princess Consort of Monaco, makes her presence more noticeable with fashion punches and sense of fashion forwardness in the form of her choices of classic yet modern creations by Ralph Lauren, Armani and Michael Kors opting for these desingers’ dresses, tailored separates and suits in simple color schemes which she tastefully sets off with glitzy accessories.
A certain Charlene Wittstock became a princess during the time that the frenzy of Kate Middleton’s wedding is still fresh and the young British royal couple (William and Kate) are still touring the world thanking and making up for the uninvited VIPs on the other sides of the Atlantic in what Buckingham Palace and othergovernments term as official visits.
Though the House of Windsor now boasts a new princess, by marriage, in the form of statesque unemployed brunette, Kate, the House of Grimaldi, of the small but rich principality of Monaco, now also boasts of another statesque blond princess in the person of former South African Olympic swimmer Charlene Wittstock.
Royal watchers would be keen to note that though Charlene Wittstock met her future husband , Prince Albert of Monaco (only son of Hollywood great the late Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier), while touring for a swimming competition in 2000 they officially went out as a couple six years later and a fortnight moved in together and got engaged four years after.
In the end the 53-year-old “playboy prince” who already fathered a number of illegitmate children finally chose to make an honest woman of the 33-year-old and make her the mother of those who would inherit his throne. Prince Albert and Charlene just gotten married this year.
As natural as it would be both commoners-to-princesses beauties, who were both thrust in the world spotlight at the same time and are now members of some of the most famous monarchies in the world Kate and Charlene had been heralded and compared for their styles and fashion choices.

From the beginning the former fashion “clueless” Charlene Wittstock had been the ugly duckling of the fashion, royal and celebrity world making fashion faux pas every now and then. Kate, on the other hand, was heralded as tailor-made for the princess job never having put a foot wrong in dressing herself. Gradually with all the money that the rich principality of Monaco can offer plus the fact that the existence of the royal family of this principality rests easy on the hands of its people (in contrast to Britain royal family’s precarious position in the hands of its countrymen who oftentimes view their existence as a terrible expense on the taxpayers) coupled with the connections that Prince Albert has (due to having a fashionable sister in Princess Caroline and gorgeous niece Charlotte Casiraghi) Charlene Wittstock had had no difficulty at all engaging the help and advice of some of the world’s best, most expensive and most famous fashion designers.
Here’s a look at what am talking about.
