It was recently announced that His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco will attend the 2012 Blue Ocean Film Festival in Monterey, California.  During the six-day festival the sovereign prince will participate in “… two panels, including a keynote panel of global ocean leaders, as part of BLUE’s Conservation Summit.”

Oh!  One more thing! Their Serene Highnesses Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco were at Lac de Paladru in France over the weekend just chilling and having a good time with friends.  And, well, that is just about it.
