From the bits I’ve read in your recent threads about this wedding (and I thank you for that!) I feel a certain sympathy or empathy for this young woman. Both Grace Kelly and Kate Middleton were raised in monied families that could send them to the ‘best’ schools, provide the proper trappings, etc. to deal with the “High Society” (h/t to GK) that is ahead now for working class Charlene.

At the first holiday dinner I hosted as a new bride, my sainted mother in law seemed somewhat aghast that I hadn’t set out a pickle fork! “Honey, don’t you have a pickle fork?” Pickle fork? WTF is a pickle fork? God bless him, my brother in law piped in and said “WE have pickle forks! ALL our forks are pickle forks!” and got me out of THAT pickle. Grrrr, I know. That WAS bad.

I understand what you mean. But although Charlene comes from a modest background, her training as an Olympic athlete give her the strength and self discipline to deal with her new life.
Albert was an Olympic athlete as well, being the captain if the Monaco team for many years, & serving on the International Olympic committe. They seem to have a great deal in common, and share a common language, English.
I certainly wish them well.
