I'm not sure, but what I have heard so far is that the new
hospital - that is expected to be ready in ten years from
now - should replace the Princess Grace Hospital and it's
tasks. The special things about the new hospital are
it's planned sea view and the photovoltaic sensors on
the roof.
It never even crossed my mind if Alexandre was baptized or is even Roman Catholic.
This is nice proof that Prince Albert has the care of the little boy's person, to put his best friend as whether godfather, trustee, or legal guardian etc. irrespective of religion.
Olga101, You might be right, about mistranslation, but I just posted because it was kind of interesting.
Here is another article related to Albert and Jerome:
Translated version of http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5iuD1hgWZld6u9f1LKyTos3B8PZLA
In 6th paragraph it says :De Bontin is a near Prince Albert, who is the godfather of his son .
So it is Albert who is a godfather to Jerome's son. Yep, seems more likely that they would not speak about little Alexandre on that occasion, even if Jerome was indeed his godfather. So I think Olga101 might be correct.
Albert and Jerome seem good friends. They studied in Amhest College,MA.
OK. It might be misreading or even mistyping not mistranslation that guys in Menton article made. I posted what I posted but for me it seems odd they posted info about Alexandre on such occasion. And yes, papers make mistakes.
Albert is in Singapore now. I wonder if there'll be any pics.
Prince Albert will have the unenviable position of being used by Max Mosley in his quest to remain with F1:
"Max has put Prince Albert of Monaco in an embarrassing position, especially after the Crown Prince of Bahrain told him not to attend last week's Bahrain Grand Prix.
"But Monaco is Max's powerbase. It's where he lives and where the FIA have offices. He will go to Monaco and be as brazen as usual.
"Then he will go to the EGA a few days later and railroad them, saying: 'Look I went to Monaco and was able to carry on my duties as president, so what's the problem with me continuing?'

Now would be a good time for Albert to show some leadership skills and not wait to see which way the wind will blow. His Dad would have thrown the guy out of Monaco. JMO
I'm sure he will so don't fret.
He really thinks he can defend this...
Prince Albert II of Monaco with Singapore's President S. R. Nathan at
the stana or Presidential Palace in Singapore 17 April 2008. The Prince
stops in the city-state 17 April en-route on his tour to East Timor and
Sarawak before coming back to Singapore to attend the Champions of
the Earth award ceremony on 22 April.

Are you sure?
In answer to your post, firstly he has until June 3rd, 2009!!! to defend himself to F1 - other scandals will come, that will likely overshadow his "dalliances". What's more, those F1 boys are no strangers to escorts/prostitutes as I was trying to allude to before. It's only when one of them gets caught, that the outrage rings out. Mosley had the supreme bad taste to reprise the Nazi theme of his forebearers, but he'd be sooner charged and booted had he used the "company" credit card, or misappropriated company funds than be caught in the act that is so tacky people will soon want to forget. He will claim a set-up, and by the use of a videocamera that tracked him from outdoors to indoors, this was done by someone who knew his habits. Had the surveillance been done by the authorities, it would be a slam dunk. But who filmed him? And to get him back for what? For letting someone hang over the spying scandal maybe? Those boys play to win. When he's made good by whoever he crossed, the newspaper will claim a hoax and it will die down. Has he been formally charged by the British authorities? No. The damage is contained to his reputation in F1. This was retaliation.
Not that I defend his actions, but to prove a point that he still has a measure of control over the outcome. Call me the 's advocate on this one.
(Sorry GT, I tried to multi-quote our posts, but maybe you'll do that)
Are you sure?
That would explain why Albert is keeping quiet.
What is this all referring to, please?
Well, Hibou, industrial wars can cause a lot of collateral damage. I could only surmise that PA would want to handle this one at a great distance. This might very well be the GP where he lets another royal handle the P.R.
I would.
I'm intrigued by Pic 2... I can see it's gold, but was there maybe a caption that said what it actually represents?
