I love image No. 2 - he looks like a comedian.
It's good that he can be natural in his expressions.

While all the pics are fab--Reneta was right number 2's expression on PA's face was a 'priceless' impromptu pic!

 

[LadyMacAlpine]

They were having a conversation. They catch Albert with his mouth open a lot while speaking.

 

[queenofthelight]

I like Prince Albert in all his expressions, he has a charisma,anyway!
My favourite photo is the third as if Prince Albert is trying to check a product for quality!

In spite of Prince Albert's age, he is still a handsome man.
I was astonished by the second photo, his eyes are beautiful like a colour of the sea, the lips are thin, all the features are aristocratic.

 

[Renata4711]

I know I keep saying it, but for me he cuts a very good figure as a statesman.
The other attributes are in addition to that.

O-m-g queenofthelight you can read my mind!! that's my thoughts exactly. Great minds think alike!! He does look quite delightful in the Swiss pics that color really looks good on him. PA is obviously a good orator because he sure does a lot of those meetings.

A photo of PA at CERN, Geneva, the Centre specialising in Particle Physics. He then went on to the CMC-3 (World Climate Conference) where he gave a speech before hundreds of environment specialists, reminding them of the need to speed up action on the environment, with "barely one decade left to reverse the spiral" of environmental damage.

PA will meet with the cream of evironmentalists at the Copenhagen Summit in December.

It looks like Monaco will be taken off of the OECD "grey list". The article, Monaco to be taken off tax secrecy 'grey list' , indicates that the agreement is to be signed Monday.

 

[Renata4711]

Yes, it will be happening this week, with twelve accords now signed, and the remaining four will still have to be validated by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) ( www.oecd.org ).

Barring any last minute hitches, Monaco will be on the "White List" for the first time ever, due to the tenacity of PA who made it a priority.

The Pittsburgh Summit of the G20 is on September 24th and 25th.

Among its topics will be Tax Evasion: OECD work on tax evasion
On this page is a 20-minute interview with Angel Gurria, the OECD Secretary-General, in which he mentions Monaco.

 

[Bahamagirl]

Monaco signed an agreement with the Bahamas yesterday. Our country has the same type of economy such as Banking and Tourism as Monaco has. I must say all fun and joke aside Albert is working very hard.

 

[Lakshmi]

hey, bahamagirl. I read somewhere that Albert goes on vacation to Bahamas sometimes. Wonder if he would pay official visit to Bahama any day soon, since they signed agreement, it seems possible he can go there for business reasons.
