What do you think about that ? I fear that after Prince Albert, Monaco will not be ruled by the princely family anymore as the rest of the family doesn't look like they want to take the succession, but this is only my opinion and I'm interested in the forum position on this point.

...Nobody being [prepared"..?
In that Vanity Fair article it stated that Andre studies or has studied "Politics and Art". So maybe its him.
