I see the Earl of Wessex was in evening tenue but the Prince in a day uniform. A bit of a mismatch. But nice to see the Prince attending the prestigious Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

Prince Albert II of Monaco has arrived in Madeira earlier this Tuesday. It was in Funchal that he uncovered the toponymic plaque in Largo Príncipe Alberto I of Monaco, the great monarch of the present monarch and a renowned oceanographer of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, who made several trips in the waters of Madeira. This was a way for the autarchy to pay tribute to a scientist who contributed to the scientific development in this area.

Alberto's trip to Monaco will end on Thursday 7th.

The "Monaco Explorations" is an exciting project and I am sure P Albert will be involved as much as he can. He is certainly working tirelessly in the area of environmental protection, deservedly earning the title of the Green Prince.

No, Prince Albert has this moustache as a lot of Carabiniers and their colonel Pringeant who have also a moustache, to celebrate the 200 anniversary of the carabiniers

I think after november, he will cut his moustache, I hope it

 

[Moonmaiden23]

Maybe I am in the minority but I kind of like the mustache. If Albert took up exercise and got himself into shape again and he would look very distinguished!

This article of the Monaco Matin explains why the prince Albert his wearing the mustache

PHOTOS. Pourquoi le prince Albert II porte la moustache - Monaco-Matin

Monaco is celebrating the creation of the carabinieri troup, two century ago and the colonel fringant asked to the carabinieri to wear the mustache as the carabinieri wore it 200 years ago. Himself is wearing the mustache , he asked to the carabinieri to wear the mustache untill the national fest in november, after they could shave it
Prince Albert is also wearing the mustache as other men in Monaco.
I hope he will cut it before the national fest or after the fest .

Would be nice if PC had gone with him to Grasse. She used to go with PA to visit the French territories related to Monaco and I'm sure the people would like to see her.
