Two days before the opening of Ever Monaco, on March 29, 2011, H.S.H. Prince Albert II received an honorary degree from the Institute Portalis in Aix-en-Provence, France.

Oh Yay!

Good to know that he didn’t have to work and stress his cojones off to earn that “honorary degree” like the rest of us.  Oh no, I’m not bitter… lol    🙂
