Monacogate: Aydiosmío!

2 Comments

And, the drama known as Monacogate (thanks to Royalty Online for that nickname) continues for Their Serene Highnesses Princess Charlene and Prince Albert II of Monaco.

Sorry, but I don’t have time to translate the article for you.   🙂  However, here is a brief synopsis:

  • Albert’s ex and Baby Mama to his son, Alexandre, marched to the Palais Princier de Monaco screaming at the top of her lungs days before the princely wedding.
  • The Baby Mama demanded to see Prince Albert.
  • The guards refused to let her in.
  • Baby Mama acts like a lunatic.  Screams and cries.
  • Princess Charlene hears Baby Mama’s screams and orders the Palais guards to let the Baby Mama in.
  • The princess and the Baby Mama talk for a bit.
  • Baby Mama leaves.
  • The princess is stunned.
  • Then Baby Mama is photographed in Monaco (she doesn’t live there.  She lives in France)  — looking determined ,mad, and annoyed — two days before the princely wedding.
  • The Baby Mama is up to something.

Now, if this latest bit of information is true — which at this time is only a rumor let’s just get that out there — this saga in Monaco is better than a telenovela (Spanish soap opera) on the Univision network (a Spanish language network here in the U.S.).

Per this award-winning newspaper:

Princess Charlene of Monaco has made a pact with her new husband Prince Albert to produce an heir – and then the couple can go their separate ways… according to French sources. ‘Once the succession of the dynasty is assured, each of them can be free again.  Divorce is a tradition in the Grimaldi family…’ says a source to VSD magazine.
