Re: The RF of Monaco - they were (and are still to some extent) a Eurotrash mess after Princess Grace's death-particularly Princess Stephanie, who was with her in the crash and had to endure (to this day) of being accused causing her mother's death. She married her bodyguard (who she only married to get their two children into the line of succession) and then an elephant trainer. One of her children is not in the line of succession because she never married her father. Princess Caroline's children watched their father die in a boat crash. She has been separated from her third husband for something like 14 years. Albert has several acknowledged illegitimate children and his realtionship with his wife appears troubled.
Princess Grace's death deeply affected all of them (she may be the only "royal" more iconic than Diana) and they have all had issues. What they don't do is whine and whinge and blame. They embrace their chaos and serve their country as best they can.
ETA: OOOh, I found this - apparently Caroline hates the press as much as Harry:
Caroline has had a bad relationship with media and paparazzi since her youth, when she complained she "could not live the life of a normal student".
[41] On 24 June 2004, the Princess obtained a judgement from the
European Court of Human Rights condemning Germany for non-respect of her right to private life under Article 8 of the
European Convention on Human Rights.
[42]
Caroline invoked the judgment in combination with articles 1(1) and 2(1) of the
Basic Law (human dignity and personal freedom, respectively) as well as § 22 of the German Art and Photography Copyright Act or
KunstUrhG (no publication of personal images without permission) in a new domestic case, attempting to get the courts to prohibit publication of certain images of her in a private setting. The
Supreme Court accepted her claim with regard to two images, but did not prohibit publication of a third, stating that the image accompanied an article about a subject of public interest, which allows publication without permission per § 23 of the
KunstUrhG. Caroline appealed to the
Federal Constitutional Court, which affirmed the Supreme Court's judgement.
[43] Unsatisfied with this result, Caroline filed a new complaint with the European Court of Human Rights. This time, the court found that the domestic courts had properly weighed the competing interests of Caroline's privacy and the press' right to freedom of expression, and thus found that there had been no violation of Article 8.
