Paternal love is quite different than maternal. Prince Albert had these quite short relationships with Nicole and Tamara, especially with Tamara it was very short... and the two babies arrived. He was quite immediately in contact with Alexander (why Eric?) but not with Jasmine. I do not expect his feelings and involvement to be the same that with the twins. He married their mum and choose to spend his life with her. Of course he loves the two older kids but they are the product of short not deep relationships. He behaviours very well and seriously with them but I don't know if they can be more into Monaco's life. I did not know that Nicole was married but Tamara was. She had this short affair with a Prince and she flew back to US to her then family. She had a baby which she showed years after. What was she expecting more? It is the price of the risk. And that makes this kids "non légitime " for me is not that their parents were not married is that they are not a product of a real relationship. Just from short time "fréquentations "

It is important to note that also the children of Princess Caroline and Princess Stéphanie, as well the children of their aunt Princess Antoinette never played any public role. Yes, they are seen in and about Monaco and sometimes with the Prince. But that is it. The public roles are almost all executed by the Prince and by his eldest sister the Princess of Hannover.

Even if Yasmin becomes more involved with her 23 years younger half-siblings, it is hard to see any public role for her. Maybe she will marry a Monsieur Duval or something in a couple of years and have her own family. What do we expect? Madame Duval née Grimaldi formerly Rotolo opening a new swimmingpool at the Centre Aquatique Rainier III ? It is hard to see what her role can be. There is already no role for Princess Stéphanie, aside from attending the annual Circus Festival.
 
There are not enough events in Monaco to give a role to the illigitimat children, Caroline attends to the events tied to the présidences that her father gavr her as the inauguration of a art event or a event with the Amade, no more , Stéphanie with the circus and the her big association of FightAids, now there is the wife of the prince who is attending at the most important events of Monaco as the national fest, the saint devote fest , religieos processions, red cross gala, the grand prix, festival tv opening , visit to the maternity, pic nic , inauguration of schools and nurseries with Albert and receptions to the palace for big events


The monegash will never want to see illigitimat children near the reigning family Albert, Charlene and the twins at such events and at religious fests as Sainte Devote, the catholic religious is the state religous at Monaco,

I remember reading that Nicole Coste had been separated a long time from her husband, who was living in either Paris or Togo with their children at the time she met Prince Albert. The reason I refer to Nicole's son with Albert as "Eric" is because he was initially given that name briefly at birth and IIRC it is still one of his official names. And I prefer not to type out "Alexandre".;)

The Monegasques, as I understand, are conservative and very Catholic. Perhaps that is one of the reasons Albert is never seen dining at one of the exclusive restaurants in the Hotel de Paris with Jazmin, or escorting her to the ballet in Monaco. I do remember photos of him in Villefranche playing on the beach with Eric when he was a little boy but it was all very low key. They were blurry photos snapped by a paparazzo.

As hypocritical and old-fashioned as it appears, perhaps they do not want to see their prince's other children(as suggested by melina-premiere posted) presented to them as part of the official picture.

I don't think the Monegasques are that conservative - they have accepted the less than traditional arrangements of their princely family for years. Rainier's mother was apparently born out of wedlock, all of Antoinette's children were born before she married their father, Rainier openly lived with Gisele Pascal for several years, not to mention all the situations involving the current generations.
However, acceptance of that less than traditional approach doesn't mean that Jazmin and Alexandre are, or should be, part of his public life. They are provided for and relations are apparently amicable - I don't see how Albert can be as close to them as to his "official" family but their circumstances were, and continue to be, different.
I don't know what more is expected - it doesn't seem as those directly involved have any complaints about the situation.

Yes, I am pretty certain that is Nicole Coste.

Well, there goes the assertion that Eric and Jazmin are kept hidden.:cool:

I agree. And all this talk about the hidden children of Albert wasted :)
 
I thought his name was Alexandre. Where is this Eric coming from, did he change his name?

His full name is Éric Alexandre Stéphane Coste Grimaldi. There seems to be debate on whether he goes by Alexandre, Alex, Éric, or Éric Alexandre.

Thank you for sharing, it's nice to hear that the reports about the holiday were true and Alexandre obviously is in touch with the family as well as Jazmin which is great to see (I had previously got the impression that Jazmin was more in touch with the family than her younger half-brother). I wonder if they were with Charlene, as I read that she's currently on a yacht in the South of France.

I thought Alexandre just had Coste as his surname, has Grimaldi been recently added on?
 
It is not sure that the photo was taken in Monaco, there is no legend and the photo is very small. the photo may be taken at Villefranche sur Mer where Nicole Costes has a house.


Is it sure that Charlene is currently on a yacht in the South of France, there is no photos and we don't know where she was seen. the only photos we saw Charlene on a yacht were taken on july 31th , the day before the wedding of Pierre she spent some hours on the yacht of a friend, Albert was at Kuala Lumpur for the Cio.But it is not the subject of this board
 
I'm glad to see the pic of the two together.... he has really grown !

I saw that on Wikipedia someone changed it to that. His legal name is Alexandre Éric Stéphane Coste and I haven't seen anything that says his name was changed for a second time. When he was acknowledged it was stated through Albert's attorney La Coste that he would not use the name Grimaldi.
 
It's good to see Jazmin and Alex together. It's been a while since I have been on here but I just read the most recent posts and I see that some things never change. Some are still attacking Prince Albert's older children or demeaning them of sorts because of the circumstances of their births which is not their fault.


Albert has 4 children not just the twins! I don't care about the past. The loves them equally all 4. (..)

I ran across an interview that Jazmin did in July of this year. She opened up about her relationship with her dad. They have a great relationship. She is an actress and classical singer and she reportedly splits her time between the US and Monaco. The interview is in PEOPLE MAGAZINE AND HELLO and it may be in a few others.

She also reportedly spoke about the twins, how beautiful they are and how well behaved already they are and about their beautiful blue eyes and this talk was done from Monaco.

Albert gave a recent interview too in PEOPLE where he talks about all 4 kids and that he regrets not having the time to spend with his older children and I think he is trying to change that with all the kids.

Jazmin visits Monaco on a regular basis. The article also says when Princess Charlene was christened she was there and it says she has attended other family events in Monaco.

Here is the interview link she was in Monaco at the time.

:previous: I have to say the photos in this article do her no favours. Her earlier, more natural photos show a bright, vivacious, attractive young woman and in these they seem to have posed her to show the difference between her and Grace in a very negative way.

The photos are flat, they lack animation and weirdly, they make her look downright homely. Okay, she's not any competition to cousin Charlotte but really, why do such an ugly thing.

I am a bit late to the party but I agree: that photoshoot was totally wrong, uneccesary and tacky, to say the least... It made her look like a wannabe star, looking for media attention... and I find all this "channeling Grace" really annoying... At first I quite liked Jazmin, she seemed so discreet and lovely, but I have dramatically changed my mind about her... and I am sorry to say this.
 
I thought the pictures were fine. And it may not have been her idea. Stop being so judgmental! Good Grief!!


For some of you anything this girl does is wrong or you'll find something wrong with it.
 
I am also sorry to say it, I changed my mind since the last interview, I liked her, she seemed so discreet , now she is looking for media attention as only Prince Albert illigitimat daughter.
Her last interview with the photoshoot was tacky.
 
When trying be a top actress or singer Free publicity like this is manna .

She is using what she has to get what she wants like thousands of other up and comers. She just has a big edge and is probably listening publicists and handlers who see the cha Ching. I hope they care about her though also. I suspect Albert has a share of parental guilt and indulges her when he can.

The photoshoot was great. It seems no one had a problem with Charlene taking lots of inspiration of her late mother-in-law in her photoshoots, but have a problem with Jazmin doing the same.
 
Well Charlène is what her late mother in law was: The Princess of Monaco. We can hardly blame her for having similarities with Princess Gracia.

I also had to think of the photo sessions Charlene has made so far, back then opinions were divided as well.
It's a matter of taste.
And one should not forget that there are always so many people involved, the photographer, the stylist, the decorator, the journalist, the editor and so on, it's not the photographed person who decides. Such an interview/photo session situation is surely difficult for a young woman or for a woman in a new role, you don't have much experience, you don't know yourself what's better or best, you may have advisors, but they may also make the wrong decision. So it's luck of the draw whether such a project turns out well..
 
Obviously father did not have a problem with this because the interview and shoot was done in Monaco at the palace I think.
 
No, the shoot was not taken in tje palace , the place of the shoot looks like the palace but it was not at the palace , I know very well the palace , I visited many times the big beautiful rooms of the palace, it was not in the palace, Charlene and Charlotte posed in the palace and we know that it was in the interior of the palace but Jazmin did not pose in the interior of the palace. and at that times, there was a lot of work in the palace, Albert and Charlene was living at Roc Agel .with the children and there were officiel photos of the ambassadors in the 'salon des glaces ' because there were work in these rooms, they were taken in the gardens with the prince and the official personalities.


And I will not believe that Jazmin was present at the christening of the twins, if she would be present at the christening , we would have photos of Jazmin, the ceremony was in live and there were a lot of photographs who would have recogniezd her in the cathedrale or entering in the palace.


And I laugh when I read that Jazmin said that the babies have a big behaviour at 5 months ! all is publicity about her because she wants to be a singer. and it was a tacky interview.
 
I don't see why this photoshoot is such a problem. It's not like she's the only one that has given an interview and posed for a fashion magazine. Charlotte, Tatiana, Pauline and Princess Charlene have all done it. In fact, Beatrice just did a spread with Vogue Italy. So I honestly don't get why it's only tacky when Jazmin does it.

As for whether she was in Monaco during the Christening, I'm going to take her word for it.
