Prior to the show Princess Stephanie was interviewed by the local news network, Monaco Info, regarding the charity performance noting that, “…she was happy with the initiative.” According to Gala magazine, the princess went on to state that:

“…since the circus world is suffering enormously from the new measures which concern animals in particular, but also from these years of health crisis. I will fight until the end so that the traditional circus continues. As this year they can’t do their end-of-year shows, we wanted to do it here. We had to help these young people so that they don’t lose this love of the circus and this desire to continue their vocation and their passion.”

(VIDEOS) News Regarding His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco.

On Monday, March 21, 2022, it was announced that the amazing documentary entitled, Alick and Albert, has been nominated in six categories in the upcoming Queensland Australia Film Network Awards. The documentary tells the story of the unique and special friendship between His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco and famed Australian artist, Mr. Alick Tipoti.

The categories for which the documentary film is nominated are Best Documentary, Best Composer/Musical Score, Best Cinematographer, Best Director, Best Producer, and Best Editor.

In 2016, the sovereign prince and the artist first met during the opening of the exhibition, Taba Naba: Australia, Oceania, Arts of the Peoples of the Sea, at the Musée Océanographique de Monaco. The sovereign prince, who is known for his efforts to tackle climate change and his commitment to protect the marine environment, visited Mr. Tipoti and his family at his home on remote Badu Island in the Torres Strait, in Queensland. The meeting formed the idea for the documentary, Alick and Albert, which also includes tales of the Badulgal people of Badu and the Monégasque people of Monaco.

The documentary, directed by Mr. Douglas Watkin, tells the story of “…two communities on opposite sides of the planet, Monaco and Badu Island, which are concerned by climate change and the many threats to the future of the Ocean…” according to the official site for the documentary.

If you have never seen the documentary, Alick and Albert, I highly recommend that you watch it… the film is simply brilliant.

In other news, this afternoon Prince Albert II viewed The Northbound Exhibition: Connected By the Sea at the Musée Océanographique de Monaco. According to a press release, via the Musee Océanographique, the exhibit:

“…brings together 24 paintings and photographs: historical and contemporary works which illustrate the role of the North Sea and the importance of preserving its coastal and marine areas.

The Northbound Exhibition: Connected By the Sea, scheduled as part of the Monaco Ocean Week, will be complemented by a scientific symposium entitled, The North Sea, a Sea of Solutions, on May 11, 2022.”

HRH Prince Albert II of Monaco and Charlene Wittstock Attend a Soccer Match in Monaco

2 Comments

On January 30, 2011, HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco along with his fiancee, Charlene Wittstock attended the French League One soccer match at the Louis II Stadium in, where else, Monaco.

Looking as if they were freezing their okoles off, the couple cheered on Team Monaco against their opponent, Team Marseille. Not sure who won the game at this time, but when I find out I am sure you will be more than happy, no?

Also, I have to say this because, well, I just do.  That thick coat Miss Wittstock is wearing… yeah… um… it’s not doing her any favors if you know what I mean.

There.  I said it.    🙂

HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco Participates in the Bobsleigh Monaco Historic Race: Um, WHY?!

On January 28, 2011, HSH Prince Albert of Monaco along with several of his oh so close and important friends participated in the 3rd Annual Bobsleigh Monaco Historic Race in St. Moritz.  Now, I’m not sure why this race has the word “historic” within the title… I mean, it’s only been going on now… for what? Three years now?

Hardly historic.

Any who, Mr. Monaco decided to dress up in his sexy Bobsledding uniform (though I have to say… it was a bit on the snug side), and take part in the race — again — with his friends in his fancy Bobsleigh (notice the Grimaldi Coat of Arms on the Bobsleigh.  Jealous? I know you are.  I’m kidding.)

Why he is participating in this race… I have no idea.

Yes, I know he was apart of the Monaco Olympic Bobsleigh Team in his younger years… I suppose he still thinks he has “it.”  That he can still compete with the best of the local best. Either that or he’s missing his carefree days as a slightly balding Olympian whereupon slightly hot chicks with teased Eighties hair would throw themselves at him.

It should be noted, that the Monaco Olympic Bobsleigh Team, when Prince Albert was apart of it, never won a medal.  Nor, were they ever that good.

Heck, the Jamaican Bobsleigh team won more medals in Bobsledding than the Monaco team, and Monaco is a hop, skip, and a jump from the Alps.   🙂

So there you have it.  Prince Albert II of Monaco re-lives his youth as a non-medal winning Olympian in Bobsledding.  Oh yeah, Charlene Wittstock was no where to be found.
