On Thursday, February 17, 2022, His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco briefly spoke with the newspaper, Monaco Matin, whilst on holiday with his two children, His Serene Highness Hereditary Prince Jaques and Her Serene Highness Princess Gabriella of Monaco.

In his brief comment the sovereign prince noted that “…Princess Charlene is doing much better and I hope she will be back in the Principality very soon.” The princess entered a treatment facility, for physical and mental exhaustion, last November immediately after returning to Monaco from her native country of South Africa.

Well, ladies and gentleman it is that time of year again where I will be on vacation for one month.

So, where will I be?  Panama.  In the video above will give you a glimpse of my lovely little village in Panama.

Anyway, hopefully I will be able to bring you the latest royal news from time to time (there is limited internet access where I live) so if you would like to check back to my little ‘ole blog please do so.

And, with that… have a wonderful day everyone!
