I feel obliged to defend our Royals here!  He was the equivalent of our
Queen and I don't think anyone could accuse her of being less that
dignified.  As for the next generation, I don't think the Queen's
children are any worse than Prince Ranier's and indeed I think
Stephanie definitely has behaved far worse than any of the Queen's own
children and Caroline, although she's settled down now was a bit of
a 'one' in her younger days!!

Saitana didn't say that, I did - and just because Ranier's kids could do
with a lesson in dignified behaviour too (and boy do I agree with you there)
doesn't negate the fact that some of ours could learn a lesson or two. I can
t imagine Ranier 'accidentally' calling the press "bloody people" for a
start. Charles could do with taking lessons from his eldest son there it
seems, William deals wiuth the press very well. Harry just thumps them ;)
(not that I blame him, if someone shoved a camera in my face at 2 in the
morning I'd smack them too, and he was protecting his girlfriend so I guess
chivalry's not entirely dead).

By the standards of the time actually Caroline and Stephanie aren't all that
much worse than Princess Margaret was. She was considered a real party girl
in her time.
