Princess Charlene & Prince Albert II Wear Silly Clothes On Monaco Tour (PHOTOS)

It's always fun seeing royals in silly get-ups, from princes in Spandex to duchesses in cowboy hats.

So today we were utterly tickled to see Princess Charlene in Monaco standing poolside, wearing a lumpy pair of blue and white plastic slippers.

Why was Her Royal Highness shuffling around wet tiles in a pair of trash bag shoes? Princess Charlene, along with her hubby Prince Albert II, are currently making stops around the country to celebrate the holidays with the people of Monaco.

Along the way, the pair has been donning just enough silly items to make for some fabulous photo opps.

Yesterday the royal couple presented a group of festively dressed children with Christmas gifts. Prince Albert wore a basic suit but tried on a black cowboy hat for size.

The day before, Charlene and Albert attended the L'arbre de Noel children's event at the Palais Princier of Monaco, for which the prince wore a totally goofy Looney Tunes tie.

And today, Charlene visited the Collège Charles III school and slipped off what were probably chic black pumps and put shower caps on her feet.

Royals in silly outfits? Yes please! Check it out.

It is delightful to see Prince Albert being playful. His father was always very sober and "old school", and the traditions of the monarchy in Monaco seem to demand a very conservative approach. Albert has rebelled against that over the years in a number of small ways, and it is wonderful to see that he continues to do so as monarch. It is also nice to see anyone self-confident enough to wear goofy stuff in public and not worry about what impression they may be making. Most people outgrow that self-confidence around age 8 or 9 and never recover it.

I wish my local YMCA had regulations regarding keeping "street shoes" covered when on the pool deck...

What a non-story. It looks like wearing those shoes might have been required.

I was thinking a Patch Adams nose based on the headline.

Her Royal feet are not allowed to touch the same ground as ours.

I suppose a surgeon's scrubs and booties would be silly-looking to the author of this article. The booties look a lot less silly than some of the stuff I've seen people wear to job interviews.

The shoes aren't that weird. I was expecting something completely outrageous; obviously, this wasn't it.

The booties would also keep outside contamination from the deck thus more a cleanliness measure than anything silly-similar to a surgical bootie, but with a rubberized sole. Would like to see them implemented here at swim meets.
