... Rainier III passed away this morning at 6h35 am in the intensive care unit, in the pneumo-thoracic specialized hospital where he was transported on 22. march. We'll mourn him too.

I saw a programme last night about the family, I didn't realise how tragic their story is!
Very sad, especially for Princess Caroline, who's already lost her second husband and now looks like she may lose her third, just days after the death of her father.
How on earth would you cope with that?

So will Albert take over?
I saw a report about it last night and they were making a really big deal out of the fact that he's single - does this affect things in any way? Also, is he gay?!

... with Albert of Monaco is stuttering. For someone who has to make public speeches, it's quite embarassing. Maybe he's also very shy, who knows. Anyway he looks like a nice guy (and not gay !)

that must be really hard for him in his job! He does look like a nice man.
Prince William used to be really shy, but he has got over it and has been 'grromed' to be the King. he now handles the media better than his father - did you see what happened at Klosters recently?

What do you mean by the 'Scandal of deguisment'? Is this another gaffe we don't know about?!

In Klosters, the Prince and his sons have an annual photocall and press conference on their ski-ing trip. The paparazzi were snapping away and the Prince said 'I can't stand this', 'what do we do now?' (as if he hasn't been doing this all his life!) etc to his sons, as he didn't realise the microphone in front of them was on. When it came to taking questions, he actually said 'God, I can't stand these bloody people', meaning the journalists...

It's no secret he doesn't like the media, but he's just made himself look stupid once again!

do you mean the scandal of diguisement ?

very sad for the people of Monaco, he completely changed the country, didn't he? I saw something on the news last night, what a tragic family. He looks like a really nice old man!
