How present is he for his children? Does he visit them occasionally? Or must they come to him? It seems to me that being 'seen' with one of the women one has acknowledged one has a child by - and is paying child support for - proves nothing beyond that there is an 'acquaintanceship'. To be expected. Even a demonstration of affection - a hand hold, or a kiss - would not be out of bounds.
Also, don't the French take a very different view of all of this? While Albert may sound American, isn't he more French in culture? I have to say, I like the French perspective on amore!
I know members of the press (one I have lunch with when in town) and two are members of this board that have seen Albert with one of his children. There are photos of Albert with his son which were posted in 2005 and you can find them in avatars. I think it was 2005 Albert gave an interview in which he stated things had to be worked out with Nicole to make visitation better for all. It was recently reported Nicole and Albert were seen together see the General thread. A good indication he is seeing his son. Jazmin has an open invitation to live in Monaco. There was a photo of Jazmin in a window at Roc Agel when she was in France and Monaco, also posted. A reason you only see photos of the Princely Family in Monaco during an event is there are laws to protect the citizens from paparazzi shots. They have to get permits.Very well said. Money is not substitute for a parent. Though we still don't know if Albert plays a role in his two oldest children's lives; I hope he does.

In the old threads summer 2006.Do you know where I can find that photo or can you post a link please.
Transcript Larry King Live.ALBERT: You know it's very funny. A lot of people asked me, even you know people that know me quite well said is it possible to have a private life? It is but you have to be so careful in how you carry out your private life, where you do it and who you see and when, you know, because it's -- and sometimes and it certainly has happened at different periods of my life where I, you know, I would forget to be careful or cautious, you know.
But sometimes you know you want to live a relatively normal life and so you try to go about your -- and to try to pursue your interests or to go on holiday wherever you like to but then it catches up to you at some points.
KING: Were you supporting the boy?
ALBERT: You know and I've always said this, he will be very well taken care of.
KING: You didn't know about him up to then?
ALBERT: I did know about him but that also happened in a very kind of strange way but he will have everything he needs and I will see him as often as possible but, you know, and anything else is just my concern or concerns my private life.
ALBERT: I've already seen him and I will see him when the time is right and when I've been able to work out ways to see him in a private way.
nah any kids that albert have now with charlene are far most special, they will be public figure on like the rest sorry dont mean to be cruel but it is true, we dont see the kids now wait until the heir arrival, they want the heir to have prefect familly, with photo of the kids everywhere, firework, big birthday party etc.. this is fact a heirs are more imporant and Alexandre and Jazmin treated better than sad but true it just the way of life.....Yes, American Observer, I think PA has had honourable intentions towards both of his children right from the start. I just think that he - as a Head of State - should have had more self-control regarding his actions.
But, on the bright side, KittyAtlanta is right - one can only hope that the existing children will be just as cherished as any possible ones.
Of course it is just my feeling, but Albert may not be the kind of father that will ignore ANY children he may have. I believe that when they are of age, as Jazmin is now, if they want to become part of the family and enjoy their status as the Prince's children they will not be rebuffed.
Of course it isn't - and would never be.
What hasn't been mentioned is the attitude of Charlene towards PA's children.
It looks to me that she has really accepted PA's kids.
Prince Rainer forced Albert to not have contact with his daughter before and after she was born. For a while he secrectly continued contact but his father found out and he put a stop to all contact. His father was sovereigh so I kind of understand Albert fear or problem. We now Prince Rainer is dead so I think it will be OK for Albert to make his two kids part of the family officially.
And a recent article I just read last night stated that Jazim and her father do have a relationship. As far as his inviting to the wedding, he very well might have invited her and she probably decline due to all the media attention it would have attracted. We just don't know.
He's not going to want his 2 other kids in the family portraits.
Good point. And why now when he wants to start a family with Charlene?!Well certainly not in any official family portraits since they are not part of the Princely family. It would not make sense to include them.
Again I do not understand why you want to inflict public attention of these 2 children. Are they not entitled to live a private life?
No one is passing blame because of how they came into existence andI just read the lastest three posts above this one, this potrait talk? You all are actually expecting Albert to ignore the 2 kids he has already in favor of those he might have with Charlene? That sounds/reads absolutely horrible! Next I will read is that Albert should not provide for Jazmin and Alexandre in his will because of how they were born. Well, according to their father they WILL inherit his personal fortune which estimated to be between 1.5 billion to 2 billion dollars.
How Jazmin and Alexandre came to be is not their fault and they are apart of the princely family as they are Albert's flesh and blood. It's thoughts and attitudes like this that will makes it hard on these two kids. It's not right!
I would be thrilled to see Albert one day take his daughter on an official trip overseas with him to attend a ball etc because he wants to show off his beautiful daughter and tell everybody how proud is of her and that she is his daughter.
I expect that to happen right after she appears on the postage stamps.
