I have a few questions and would like to know what others on the forum think:
1. Is it possible that PA only acknowledged Jazmin and Alex publicly because journalists were about to disclose the information (in a book or magazine)? In terms of Alex, sources are fairly consistent that PA came forward publicly only when Paris Match was about to disclose Alex's existence. A writer for The Times in the UK has written that two journalists are shortly to document Jazmin's existence with sources, etc. in an upcoming book. If true, then the force of PA's acknowledgement had nothing at all to do with the welfare of the children--merely that the media is the only organization with sufficient power to force his hand.

2. Are we sure that TR did not visit Monaco with her husband? I am wondering how TR could afford a visit to Monaco as a waitress. A week in Monaco has ALWAYS been expensive...and especially for a waitress??
Of course, the upcoming book says that TR was with her husband in Monaco.That could explain how she could afford the trip. Excerpt below:
"The book, by Lena Lutaud and Thiébault Dromard, journalists on Le Figaro, says that lawyers on both sides of the Atlantic are completing an agreement under which Prince Albert will provide for Jazmin Grace, the daughter of Tamara Rotolo, from Desert Springs, California. “Albert and Tamara Rotolo met on the Côte d’Azur in July 1991 where Tamara had come with her husband on holiday .
. . She was married, Albert was careless,” the authors quote a friend of the Prince as saying. The alleged affair lasted two weeks. “Less than four weeks later, in August 1991, Tamara told Albert that she was pregnant.”

You can't put anything past PA. I keep saying that I believe PA does exactly what he wants, when he wants, whenever he wants--consequences mean nothing to this guy.
3. If PA supported TR financially for 14 years, there is NO WAY that he did not know that Jazmin was his. Again, PA has said he did not give TR any money, but maybe he gave it to someone else, or was just stretching the truth (TR's dad said that PA did support them financially). But to live in a gated community is not cheap in CA--again, how could TR afford it and private school without some help? Even though she is in real estate now, she wasn't at first--and she was pregnant. These things are expensive!! I think PA has known all along that he is Jazmin's father and that he supported them financially.
At the end of the day, we can't praise PA for financially supporting TR and Jazmin and ignore the fact that he had to know that Jazmin was his daughter.
Would be interested to hear what others think.
