In the pictures .- From 2005 to present, Prince Albert II remained deeply on the line of faithful Girdi. Let’s go back to his twenty-year Kingdom between the travel, inheritance and modernity.
2005 On April 6, Albert II became the Prince Sovereign of Monaco, succeeding his father, Raim III, who died two days ago. Twenty years later, he was still there, on his throne guard, alert this posture, which he never left. The fact that we have never really left the choice of role, but which, however, knows how to confirm it without ever failing. His kingdom is part of this delicate balance. Respecting the tradition, without closing, Monaco brought Monaco to the 21st century without denying the spirit of Grimald’s dynasty.
Trained in the United States, Albert II grew up in the spotlight. “Grace Kelly’s son”, the Hollywood star, which became a rock princess, but her father, the modern architect forced by modern Monaco. In Amherst College, in Massachusetts, he studies political science, economics and music. It is also initiated in diplomacy. At the same time, he develops his competitive spirit and forms in several sports: football, swimming, judo and practice Bobslig, which is placed on the skating rink. It will present Monaco at the five winter Olympics.
In the 1980s and in the 1990s he traveled a lot. He represents his father, he notices that he is learning. And sometimes he explodes. He appears in a black suit next to Claudia Schiffer, in the evening he is seen with Naomi Campbell. He does not play the chandeliers. It’s not his genre, but he crosses secular circles. Albert II, before he became his prince, thus walked behind the scenes of strength and appeared.
Adventurer Prince:
But since his coming, he has been a comfortable holiday for his Kingdom. No shake or shine but accurate and effective gestures. Thus, he strengthened the powers of the authorities and was strongly committed to the environment. 2006 Prince Albert II Foundation finances projects in more than 60 countries, protects sea ecosystems. He was the leader of the first state to go to the North Pole, not for photos, but for the case.
As for his personal life, he also registered in the form of restraint. In 2011 alone, his marriage with Southern African swimmer Charlain Whittstok was a summary of cameras. The birth of twins, Gabriella and Jacques in 2014 singled out a more individual turning point at home. Despite the prolonged absences of Princess Charlene, during the stubborn news of Sovim’s 19 and separation, he has reappeared more and busy in recent years than next to her husband. Together they now form a peaceful couple, maybe more united than ever.
