He is no prince at all - he was a pimp, and a very common person by the name of Hans-Robert Lichtenberg - who got rich enought to get himself adopted as an adult after american law. In Germany this is NOT possible.

He is NO prince, He is NOT a member of any noble house.

I don't really think Brooke ever dated Albert, though. They played in a celeb tennis tournament but apparantely nothing ever came from it.

Albert has also dated Dutch model Karen Mulder. She was one of the main Supermodels during the 90's.

IMO, It would be great if a prince married a celebrity or Hollywood star in today's world. Do you think that it is possible in 21 century?

I don´t know,I´ve heard/read that both Grace Kelly and Rita Hayworth were rather unhappy in their marriages and they didn´t like being a princess because it came with so many limitations and they were not allowed to make any films.Grace Kelly loved her job as an actress a lot but she was just expected to look pretty and give birth to an heir when she was in Monaco.Not only was she kept from filming,her movies were also not shown in Monaco because it was not seen as "proper" for a royal princess...

From Wikipedia: After the wedding, Prince Rainier banned the screening of Kelly's films.[15] Hitchcock offered Kelly the lead in his film Marnie in 1962. She was eager, but public outcry in Monaco against her involvement in a film that portrayed her as a kleptomaniac made her reconsider and ultimately reject the project. Director Herbert Ross attempted to lure Princess Grace for his 1977 film The Turning Point, but Prince Rainier quashed the idea.
