[font=Times New Roman, Times, serif] Princess Stephanie’s list of discarded husbands and lovers shows her to be an equal-opportunity sleep-about. There’ve been a casino croupier, a palace steward, a ski instructor, an elephant trainer, and a bodyguard, said to be the father of her youngest child. And these are the ones we’ve actually heard about. Now Stephanie seems more than a little smitten by a young waiter by the name of Mathieu who attends diners’ needs at the exclusive open-air restaurant La Lamparo, where the rich and famous sip their wine and dine in style overlooking a private beach on the beautiful Cap d’Ail.
We’ve spoke to someone who was at La Lamparo during the Cannes Film Festival and he swore that Princess Stephanie was helping her latest sweetie out by taking orders from some of the café’s diners. Our friend did acknowledge that the restaurant was understaffed that particular afternoon and it seems that Stephanie was only coming to the aid of a friend, but she did stuff her jeans with tips she collected from the departed diners. Our friend also reported hearing Stephanie explain why she was working in such a menial job when asked by one nosy patron: “I am helping my fiancé out.” Since Stephanie used the word “fiancé,” usually a euphemism for being engaged, we wanted a comment from the Monaco palace. Predictably, we were met with, “There is no engagement.”[/font]
