On January 27, 2022, Prince Albert and Princess Caroline attended the Pontifical Mass at Monaco Cathedral held on the occasion of the Sainte Devote Day. Afterwards, Prince Albert, Princess Caroline, Hereditary Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella greeted the crowd that gathered for the celebrations from the balcony of the Palace. The Sainte Devote Day is celebrated each year as a national holiday in Monaco.

And his mistress in attendance
ReplyDeleteYes, and the fact that she keeps showing up at events tells me she is never far away...and I truly believe this is a BIG part of the problems Charlene is having. How she has put up with Albert this long is beyond me. Ann B
DeleteJC, what mistress? Who are you talking about?
DeleteJC and Anonymous 23:25, what mistress? Who are you talking about?
Deletei thought this was gossip but checked to verify, omg!
DeleteAnd she was dressed in all white, leopard heels and blonde bleached hair, as if that was not noticeable enough, at the steps of the cathedral she looked at the cameras to have her picture taken. I feel for Charlene

DeleteJC.. mistress ?

Oh my God.... Prince Albert has a past, he was 50+, has two children, when they got married, Charline knew that. Should NC hide herself, she lives in Monaco too!
The media and journalists love to make rumours/ histories and some people
'buy' them all.
Princess Charline has mental problems, sadly....a very unhappy situation for her, the children and Prince Albert.
They don't need gossip!

Nicole Coste, whose only connection to Prince Albert is that they share a child, does not live in Monaco and she has never attended before so why is she there now? Seems to me she's trying to cause trouble.

These two are total cuties. While Jacques is a replica of his mother, I find Gabriella looking more and more like her aunt Stephanie. Both of them are adorable. I wish much love to all of them.

I agree, Jacques is his mother's twin consistently! Gabriella favours her father's side, see photos of Albert when he was young https://www.instagram.com/p/CZFV3ZksEKB/
DeleteJust like Stephanie she has Grace Kelly's smiling eyes https://www.instagram.com/p/CYgJ9w5sxoO/

I wished that Caroline would go back to her dark hair again… She is beautiful in any color but still, better and more spirit in darker hair.
ReplyDeleteAA
Agree with you.
DeleteAva
Agree with you both. Princess Caroline is only in her mid sixties but in the first photo with the grey hair and black hat, she looks very like one of my aunts who is in her late eighties ( though my aunt wouldn’t wear those earrings! 😂) Like her very classy coat and love Princess Gabriella’s red dress.
DeleteToujours aussi adorables les jumeaux ; ils ont l'air de bien s'entendre - Craquante Gabriella en arborant cette sorte de serre-tete composé de perles, fausses bien sûr !
ReplyDeleteI like Caroline's coat, it looks like it is Chanel's. Gabriella wears a beautiful red dress with blue details. It is adapted at Jacques blue blazer with red details. Cute to see the interaction between the two of them.
ReplyDeleteMay I say a word in defence of gray hair? I love Caroline's gray hair. It is in part because it is beautifully woven with the dark hair, but also because it is an example from a very high profile person that gray as a choice is fine. I don't have anything to say against women who dye their gray hair--it is such a personal choice to do so or not--but she looks lovely and her hair color is beautiful and natural.

Agreed

Where is Charlene?
ReplyDeletekindwe
I think I read somewhere that she is receiving medical treatment in Switzerland. The princess is unwell, I sincerely hope she recovers.

GOD Bless you Little ones.
ReplyDeleteViva Monaco.
How wonderful to see Albert and his beautiful children! And, its also a treat to see Caroline--I really like her coat. The twins look adorable--Gabriella in her "pearl" headband and Jacques in his blazer. I think it is so wonderful see Caroline supporting Albert and the children during Charlene's absence/illness--its much like how Albert stepped up to support Caroline after the death of Stefano Cassiraghi. He became an important figure in the lives of her 3 eldest children who were very young at the time of their father's tragic death. Caroline seems very engaged and loving towards the twins and I am sure Albert appreciates her love and care at such a difficult time for his little ones since their mother is ill.
ReplyDeleteLovely comment.
DeleteThank you!
...Marie
What a decent, thoughtful comment Janet. I believe you are right. The brothers seemed always very close.
DeleteThis family had to go through so many difficult times. Yes, they are very privileged, but they went through an incredible number of tragedies. I hope this series ends now.

Which one is Albert’s mistress? There can be little doubt now that Charlene is being kept away, or chooses to stay away, due to marital unhappiness. I suspect when we learn the true story it will be a murky story indeed, with poor health as an outcome, not a cause of very awkward separation. I wish each player in the story all the best, and above all for a minimisation of damage to the young children.

ReplyDeleteThe woman isn't in the pictures posted here - you'd have to look elsewhere, the Daily Mail has got pictures of her at the event, for instance. Her name is Nicole Coste and she is the mother of one of Albert's children, Alexandre.
DeleteSome things are known already - Albert has several children with various women (in addition to Gabriella and Jacques). Two of them, Jazmin-Grace and Alexandre he has by now acknowledged, but initially refused to. Shortly before Charlene left for South Africa last year, a third woman filed a lawsuit, saying that her child is Albert's. He denies this, but what does that mean when he did so twice before and had to acknowledge Jazmin-Grace and Alexandre are his in the end?
Alexandre's mother Nicole obviously has issues with Charlene. She has told the media that Charlene moved Alexandre's room at the Palace from the family area to the the area where the servants rooms are.
Charlene is being "kept away" insofar as she is a patient at a clinic in Switzerland where she is recovering from various ailments both physical and mental. The Palace has repeatedly said they are still very much married - until either one of the principal players in this story says otherwise everything else is malicious gossip and speculation.
DeleteI love the coat Princess Caroline is wearing. Its very stylish, chic and she looks very elegant. It fits beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand Albert. He acts like in the old days when Louis XIV or Louis XV sat on the trone of France. The mistresses then lived at the palace and the queen had to support that. Some of the mistresses became even a friend of the queen. Maybe it is more complicated than we think. If he forbids her to come to the mass and she starts to make a scene in public or steps to the news papers to tell her side of the story it could be worse for him.
ReplyDeleteI do not envy Charlene. Even if her illness has nothing to do with all this it must be painfull for her. She reads the papers too. Not everyone is capable to coop with this.
Only if you have decided (as you clearly have) that Nicole Coste is his mistress. Actually they split up nearly 2 decades ago before the birth of their son, she lives mainly in London and the Sainte-Dévote mass is open to any member of the public who wishes to attend - the woman seems to have been a good mother but frankly, she is a ****stirrer.
DeleteTo 18:22
DeleteLast summer Ms Coste gave an interview to Paris Match (about the time of Alexandre's 18th birthday) where she - among other things - specified that she wanted to have a more important place in the life of Monaco (I do not remember the exact words). She also was "cover girl" in that number. It sounded like a declaration of war. Only after that Charlene's return to Monaco was postponed until October.

London is not the end of the world. She can come to Monaco in no time. It is up to Albert to deal with this and show that he is taking into account the feelings of his legal wife. If Charlene will stay in this marriage for her children she is a saint. I don't know that she will be strong enough. Other queens and princesses did it before her, but not everyone can live like this.
DeleteWhat's going to happen if you're a monarch and have children with all these women who aren't your wife? Look Prince Albert & King Albert of Belgium (who ironically share the same name): surprise! At some point, these children and their mothers are going to show up and say: here I am. You treated us badly, you didn't care for us. Now I want to be a Princess like my siblings are (Delphine). You left me and our child for a more suitable consort, now I'm going to show up in Monaco and let's see how embarrassed you and your wife, who doesn't like my son, will be (Nicole Coste).
DeleteThere is a big difference between Prince Albert of Monaco and King Albert of Belgium. King Albert (then Prince Albert) did not have children before he married Queen Paola (then Princess Paola). When he met Sybille Selys de Longchamps he already had 3 children with Queen Paola. They even had decided to divorce. It is King Baudouin who stopped this. Then slowly a reconciliation followed. Until Delphine Boël was 17 years old he stayed in contact with her and her mother to help them if necessary. And it must be said that Jacques Boël who adopted Delphine was not a poor man. Later on when she was married herself and had a child it was Delphine, who wanted to be recognised by Albert as his daughter. Before Delphine was 17 years old she didn't know that King Albert was her father. The rest of the story is recent history.
DeleteI think it's great that Caroline and Stephanie are such loving and engaged aunts to Gabriella and Jacques, especially now that their Mom isn't there. I'm sure they have nannies as well, but it's so much more important to have family love & support!!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a bunch of anonymous gossipers. Rumors, innuendo, judgement and a myriad of pontifications. Take a chill pill ladies!
ReplyDeleteCB
I'm not telling rumors nor gossip. It has been on television and in the newspapers by the people who are concerned. Actually there is a series that is about to end now where Princess Delphine tells her own story how she lived it. Also her mother has been on television to tell what was really going on. Delphine has visited King Albert and Queen Paola in the Belvédère palace after she met with King Philippe. Delphine and her husband Jim O'hare were present at the national day on the 21st of July. There are no secrets anymore everything has been told and the Belgians do not judge them for being so open on the contrary.
