How do you know what kind of agreement they had?
Were you privy to their most intimate details?

queenallen said:I agree with some of this: I do believe she felt backed into a corner -- because she knows that the boy will be 2 yrs old in August and w/all these things coming up, she may have felt that this matter seemed to go very far down on the list of priorities, so she may have felt she needed to 'start shouting' about it to bring it in front. I do think Albert needs to handle this better, especially if it is his child, then certainly much better -- but all is speculation at this point. Nothing has been confirmed.
I am still not convinced that this is a race issue (those that keep saying that it is; I think they are ignorant -- not that these ugly race things do not exist in the world, and obviously in the minds of some people, but I do not think that this is the main issue on this).
I have heard different people say before, that in Western countries, women (all types of women) have children and when asked about the father the answer becomes 'He/she does not have a father'. Well, that's not technically true. For their own reasons, they do not want to go into it. I also understand the other side's point (which is Nicole's point too) that the baby did not just appear from nowhere -- she did not produce this child all by herself. In some parts of the world, even if the guy was a bricklayer, from a social aspect, he would just never be allowed to just quietly (or not) 'disappear' from the scene after the child is born, even if he did not want the baby. But in western countries, it is not such a big deal for this to happen -- it happens all the time.
But there is such a thing as handling a situation respectfully, on both sides. I think her plastering this out there 1 week after the funeral was not a respectful thing to do. Don't matter who the guy; the whole family has experienced a major loss and she just threw her priorities into their face (in my opinion). Not nice at all.
Albert is not the first, nor the only, nor will he be the last man to have a baby (if true) without being married to the mother. It happens everyday with people of every stripe and quite frankly, if this is the extent of difficulty in his and her life, then I would nominate them both for
a Nobel prize because they 've managed to do something that most people on the planet have not been able to do, ever.
Hmph!
what does that mean? i'm not a good guesser"Auld Lang Syne"
Does the mother now only care about this child because of all the "trappings" that come with his being PA's child?

Albert rails at the black prince tale
Matthew Campbell, in Paris
PRINCE Albert II of Monaco feels “betrayed” by a former air hostess from west Africa whose claims that he is the father of her child broke an agreement not to go public with the story until three months of mourning for his late father had ended, sources close to the family said this weekend.
The sources added that the unmarried Albert, 47, who recently succeeded Prince Rainier as ruler of the Riviera principality, had been willing publicly to recognise the “black prince”, as they refer to the latest addition to the house of Grimaldi, after the official mourning ends in July.
LadyMacAlpine said:This is between them no one else only Nicole made it public knowledge instead of waiting the time requested and she admitted to it. That places her in the wrong. According to her he was caring for them both which isn't a necessity to go as far as provide an apartment. What happened to the one she had? She had a job when they meet and could have continued to work woman do it all the time.I agree with this 100%; other women work while they are expecting their children and they also continue to work after they are born. Why is she so different? And she is the one who put all of this out in the public forum. When one does something like that, they open themselves for scrutiny and criticism by the public. In my opinion, she took (if the story is true) this action in an attempt to shame and embarras him. In Paris-Match she says rather plainly that where she comes from 'a father would force his son to accept the child'. That comment along with others that she said, to me, is clearly from someone who is trying to force someone else to do what they want.
In my opinion, she wants alot more than whatever he was trying to help her with -- whatever her reason, and whatever his reason for trying to help her, it seems not to be enough. I think she has alot of nerve presenting herself as if to be defining what he must do. That is my opinion.
Anyway, all of talk is based on her side of the story -- everything about how they had 'an agreement' and how they 'cared for one another' so much is according to her. He has not confirmed anything.
I think she is pushy and aggresive and her actions have been very inappropriate. And that is not to say anything but this: sometimes a person's behavior makes them completely, utterly and absolutely unattactive. To me this is the case on her.
she must not know how men operate because most men are not shame unto action. with him having a title, money & fame, she should have know better than to deal with him on that level.my opinion, she took (if the story is true) this action in an attempt to shame and embarras him.
