Well, these pics, I'm posting were taken last Dec. when Prince Albert visited a village in Indonesia, built with the support of Operation Solidarité Monaco Asie and other Monegasque associations and volunteers after the 2005 tsunami. It's called Monaco Village.
Since I suppose, these pics aren't fitting the current events thread, I'll post them here, but fell free to move this msg, mods. (source:OGGI)

I don't think these were taken in 79/80, he looks much younger than 20 or 21. Maybe they were printed in those years. I would guess he looks to be 15 or 16 years old.

If the dates are correct he was 20-21 and still in college. I agree he looks much younger however if you look at photo's he always looked much younger than he was.

This is a good shot of Albert and his mother. You can really see the resemblance between mother and son. Iceflower, you have an extensive collection of the Grimaldi’s. Great pictures, thanks for sharing..

It's amazing the resemblance between them. I see it especially now that he is older.

Hi there. Could anyone post a link to where I could view the article of Prince Albert from the German magazine Frau. I know there was a big spread and I have the front but what I would really like to see is the inside pics. Thanks.

I'm not sure, but I think you're talking about the pics in this thread:

Portrait of young Prince Albert taken by Lord Snowdon. It was part of Vogue special issue on Grimaldi's in 1971 (Christmas issue, I think)
