Prince Albert II (66) has repeatedly been criticized in recent years. His escapades and scandals were repeatedly in the press. The state of health of wife Charlène (45) and a possible separation from her were a hit with the media, and there was constant speculation as to whether the two were still in a “real” marriage. The Monegasque royal also made a name for himself with his women’s stories; he has several illegitimate children and ex-lovers.
Scandals put the royal family in trouble
A secret change in the line of succession also caused a sensation at the end of 2023. If something were to happen to him before his son Jacques (9) reached the age of 18, it was planned that Charlène would represent her son as Prince Regent. That has been changed. Instead of Charlène, a regency council would now take power in an emergency. This consists of seven people, including Albert’s wife and his sisters.
A financial scandal also caused a stir in Monaco. The state patron has fired his long-time asset manager because of alleged embezzlement. He came forward in court and claimed that the prince had embezzled taxes in France. Albert will probably have to explain further inconsistencies in court soon.
Biggest wish
On his 66th birthday today, the prince probably has one wish in particular: peace and quiet. The royal family wants to leave the scandals and headlines of the past weeks and months behind them and look forward. Therefore, the 66-year-old will probably spend his special day with his loved ones and avoid a pompous celebration.
He wants to improve his image once more in the coming year and make good headlines. Princess Charlène at least seems to feel very comfortable in her skin once more. The mother of two was literally beaming in public at recent appointments and joked with her family.
