Thank you, I enjoyed the article. I had heard about his visiting the festival, but I hadn't read anything about it yet. Maybe Albert will be in the mood (being in America and all) and jump up on stage to sing a tribute to "Ol' Blue Eyes" with whoever else is doing the tribute.

I wouldn't be surprised...it is Albert afterall, the most American out of the three.

Wow, refreshing to see a new face next to Albert. The blond lady is very good looking. I wonder who she is?

He looks a little nerdy, and man..he sure likes his blonds...BLOND!

His frames look larger than the ones he usually wears, so that may be the reason for the nerdiness. This blond is pretty but I doubt she's natural. Check the roots.

I don't know if it is the frames. I've always felt that Prince Albert displayed a lot of nerdiness regardless of eye glasses. He just doesn't have the great princely look, such as with Caroline's husband or her son's or Prince Harry & William. If he wasn't a prince of a principality, he probably would have been a insurance salesman or something like that. He just doesn't stand out in good looks. And, I think he knows that and uses his position to make up for his limitations in looks. Not to offend any PA fans though, just IMO. It also has been written somewhere that blondes help make men to feel more wanted so to appear somewhat successful and perhaps appealing to others.

I think they're related. They have very similar facial structure.

 

[HRH Kimetha]

I think they're related. They have very similar facial structure.

Speaking of which, if they are related somehow, does anyone know if any of his American cousins or aunts/uncles ever go to Monaco and stay the summer with their Grimaldi family, like for holidays? I haven't read much on their extended American family doing much with the Grimaldi's. Or, if the Grimaldi's or Caroline's children visiting her extended American family in PA.

yeah, I was thinking that she is a Kelly relative.

Albert looks so happy in these recent pictures from Newport!
He is happily smiling and relaxed. It looks like a big weight has been lifted from his shoulders.
He looks happier in Newport than he looked at The Red Cross Ball and the events preceeding it. I hope he can stay a bit longer and continue to enjoy himself.

Perhaps he should marry an American and move here to retire.

Kimetha- I personally think he is rather good- looking , looking straight into his face and eyes. Those distance shots, from overhead,etc. and those khaiki pants-nada. Why can't he wear slimmer trousers and slimmer lines. He would look much younger. Its because of his loss of hair and maybe the pouch that put so many years on him.

They had a brief interview with PA on Good Morning America weekend edition this morning. Ron Claiborne went up to Newport this weekend. He of course asked him the marriage question. Albert said he had no plans-immediate or other wise- to marry. When Ron did a follow up question on the same subject, Albert quoted George HW Bush's famous "read my lips" then added "were you reading my lips" (referring to when he answered the question the first time). Of course they showed the hand holding pictures from the Red Cross ball. I think that sums up the CW becoming Princess question. He also said anytime a young woman is pictured with him these rumors start. Ron asked about announcing his kids existence and Albert answered that he felt it was the right time to be done. Ron also asked Albert what he wanted his legacy to be. Albert laughed that it was little too soon to discuss that. He was very polite and happy the whole interview. There was also a clip of him walking outside as if heading to one of the events. The blond from the jazz festival was walking next to him. She had either a clipboard or some papers with her leading me to think she may be an event staffer.

 

[anag]

Too bad I'm a Today show gal. I didn't see the interview, but I heard about it. I didn't know Albert was so funny (the whole "read my lips" thing)!

To LadyMac: I wonder if he even has a home here, he probably does, I think he'd be happy retiring in the US. He looks quite relaxed in the pics, so hopefully he will marry an American and move across the pond.

Not sure if it is the same woman from the concert. In any case, the blond woman in the clip didn't have papers in her hand, but two (golf)hats and her bag

Does he ever date monaguesques? There must be some eligible women there. I would love to see him with someone from there.

I don't necessarily think that a man that has loss of hair and a pouch is unattractive. Sean Connery really stands out to me as a very attractive man. Patrick Stewart is also attractive. Both of these actors are somewhat pudgy around the midline and balding. Maybe I just haven't seen a real attractive photo of him. He does have a nice smile and may even have a great personality. But, if he wasn't a prince, we would definitely get lost in a crowd.
