Albert is going to be the host? I think i've never seen this event. How does it work? Does Stephanie appear here too, the Casiraghis...?

[Renata4711]

There was the occasion - can't remember how many years ago - when Albert stood up in front of the audience and did the Macarena .....
I found it ever so slightly embarrassing.

I'm sorry to say this, but I liked Paris Hilton's dress. It was good to see Deborah Cox and Pharell. They've been pratically MIA. J.Lo was a little too revealing for my taste.

It's really funny, whenever I hear this song and even if it's only a
short part, I immediately see Albert dancing, totally crazy..
It's been in the 1990s, but I'm also having problems to remember
the exact date right now.

Stephanie attended in the 1990s, the Casiraghis haven't done so before,
but what really surprised me is that Albert didn't attend this year. The
WMA have come back to Monaco, but no sign of Albert, that's strange.

He was at Speaker at the Mediterranean Sustainable Energy Summit.

Thanks a lot, LadyMacAlpine! I've checked the event's site
and he was indeed one of the keynote speakers during that
summit that has taken place on May 18 and 19 in Athen.

You're welcome. He was back in Monaco on the 19th for another event.

[Renata4711]

I thik you're right, Iceflower, it has taken so long for the event to come back to Monaco, so why snub it ??
Someone could have been found, surely, to represent the Grimaldis....
