The woman besides Prince Albert must be one of his best friends since high school. It's not the first time I've seen her.

The woman besides Prince Albert must be one of his best friends since high school. It's not the first time I've seen her.

I think she is a Cabinet minister, with Sport as one of her portfolios.

Nice to see P Albert support basketball, since the Monaco team is doing very well currently.

You are right, it's Isabelle Bonnal, Director of the Department of Education, Youth and Sport in Monaco

Ah, thank you. I must have totally mistaken her for someone else then.
