Maybe, but I saw nothing in any U.S. media. If HSH Princess Angela was of European descent, they would have been calling her another Princess Grace. And they would have discussed the similarities--both small countries, relatively unknown in to the U.S., the whole princess fairy-tale bit. Grace...

My point was simply that TR did get something out of her "arrangement" (or whatever) with PA. The fact that NC received more seems (to me) to be due to the quality of her lawyer--and the fact that she was on good terms with PA until she went public. Since TR had sued PA, maybe the settlement...

It has been reported in the media that PA has been taking care of TR/JG financially for many years. Whether TR admits it or not doesn't make her any better than NC. She sued PA right away in CA, but the CA courts could not assert jurisdiction. She was just as angry with PA as NC was, only she...

A fair point, Grace. I have read enough of your posts and I think they are very balanced. You don't seem to favor anyone, including PA. I agree that NC and TR have both handled themselves poorly in one way or another.

You can't be blamed for not knowing this...as I said, the U.S. media didn't cover it! She was born in Panama, but came to the United States at a young age and was raised in New York. Here's an excerpt and a link: http://www.nettyroyal.nl/maximilian.html "The bride, Miss Angela Brown, was born...

Probably true. But don't forget, HSH Princess Angela was an American woman who became a princess. One of your earlier posts said that America loves princess stories... So why not this one? Besides, was America talking about Monaco before Grace married Ranier?

Never said I thought Louis14 was an expert. In fact, I am a lawyer myself. I wanted to know what his/her argument was regarding French/Monegasque conflicts of law. I think by now everyone on this forum knows what the Monegasque constitution says. But anyone familiar with the law knows that even...

Obviously. I was referencing Louis14's post (see excerpt below), and asking for clarification: I was asking Louis14 how French law would be applied, instead of Monegasque law (thereby trumping it). I guess we'll have to wait for Louis14 to answer...

This is very interesting, Louis14. I have wondered how a conflicts of law issue would play out between France and Monaco, because that is precisely the issue that would come into play if Alex (at 18) challenged the law. Could you explain how French law trumps Monaco if they conflict? I would be...

I agree that JG being an American probably plays a large role in America's interest in her story. But when Angela Brown (looks like a Black American woman, raised in America from childhood--born in Panama) married Prince Maximillian of Lichstenstein, there was no coverage in the United States...

Laviolette, you could not be more right!

I think everyone has those same instincts, including me.;) But I don't know of many one-night stands that last for 5 years. Nor do they typically involve public outings in France, private meetings in Monaco--or a $2 million villa after the child is born. They had something more going on. I...

Sashajones, I think there were real feelings involved on both sides--I don't know about love on either side. The fact that Nicole acted the way she did (after 7 years), I think was due to the fact that she did not believe that PA would publicly recognize Alex, as they had agreed. How many times...

An article I found on NC/PA... I found an interesting story about the NC/PA saga on the internet. Here are some excerpts (the link is at the end). It brings up some interesting things I had never heard of. I highlighted the parts that I haven't seen posted on this forum (unless I missed them)...

You were talking about royal history and tradition--so was I;) : 1. The royal history and tradition of Monaco includes the fact that the Principality was saved from French rule by an illegitimate daughter who later became Princess. 2. Monaco's constitution has male-preference...

Caroline put Chantal Hochuli (her friend and Ernst's first wife) in an awkward and untenable position when she had an affair with Ernst, broke up his marriage and got pregnant out of wedlock. So tough for Caroline if she doesn't get what she wants--for once. Besides, Andrea takes the throne...

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...

Great post, leahteresa. I do wonder, though, whether PA's desire to "protect" Jazmin and Alexandre was really a desire to "protect" his own image. The way I see it, he knew he had to keep NC quiet, so he acknowledged Alex, bought the villa, etc. But he refused to acknowledge him publicly, hoping...

I am the poster who questioned the level of vitriol directed at NC. I deliberately used the word vitriol, because I did not intend to refer to a negative or angrily-worded post. Vitriol refers to EXTREME anger, venomousness or rancor, and my intention was to describe posts that are...

Neat2912, you could not be more right. I did not see the photo at issue, so I cannot comment on that...But I do not understand the level of the vitriol directed at NC on this thread--or at CW, on her thread. It seems to me that people are willing to turn a blind eye to PA's egregious conduct...

We'll have to agree to disagree here.

I agree with you, Neat2912. He'd better get all of his children out in the open. One more and he is a laughingstock (if not already). I would like to know when this "parade of horribles" will stop...you know, the kind of parade where each float is increasingly worse than the previous one (and I...

BurberryBrit, I agree with you 100%. Loving your new avatar, by the way. :) Neat 2912, you raised some very good points. It'll be interesting to see what happens.;) sashajones, I see what you mean, but one wonders why PA purchased a villa within 15 minutes of Monaco for her and Alex. He...

I personally think that a billionaire should be able to make arrangments to see his son. If he does not get along with NC, then he should send an intermediary to pick up and drop off Alex. People do that sort of thing every day--he has the means. I don't know whether he sees Alex; with the...

Apologies, but what he needs to do, is to grow up!
