You were right about that!

Grace, Rainier and Caroline attended Albert's graduation. I wonder how he would have felt if his mom or dad had attended a fashion show instead. Grace was certainly more well known than Albert is. There would have been no headline about Albert missing an 8 minute LV fashion show. The headline would have been what a good dad he was.
Albert earned all the brick throwing. He had several children out of wedlock. They had no choice in the matter. They are human beings and his flesh and blood. He has treated them poorly. Money is no substitute.
I like your post and you are right. Jazmin has spent time with all of the family including the Kelly cousins. She has attended more than the PGA where Albert was as I have posted before. The press was asked not to photograph them and to respect their privacy.why are people all assuming that Albert is not close to his daughter ? there are pics of Jazmin in roc agel (prince Albert's house with elephants baby and nepal in Mont Agel on her fb page), and Jazmin is friend with her cousins and frequently comment their pics and she even calls Pauline "my sweet cousin". She has relationship with her father and her paternal family, it s just that it is a a private one (as it should be)
Maybe he doesn't see Alexandre very often but Jazmin certainly goes to Monaco several times a year

I think he didn't go because Jazmin's mother would be there. The problem is with the mothers, not the children. He blames them even though he is equally to blame.

Years back Albert said during an interview here in the States that Nicole made it hard for him to see Alexandre and they had issues that needed to be worked out.
People need to read the definition of a deadbeat parent because Albert is not one. Nicole's own admission someone came in when she was in the hospital to draw blood to determine paternity and he began paying support and seeing Alexandre when he could. Albert has a busy schedule and he purchased a house for them to live in close to Monaco. She had an apartment in Paris and a car at her disposal not to mention a clothing allowance for herself. Nicole chose to move to London which put distance between Albert and his son making it more difficult for him to see his son with the schedule he has. Only one person is to blame for him seeing his son less if that is the case. Nicole herself by making things harder for Albert thereby being the one to deny her son of the time he deserves with his father.
I'm sorry Nicole likes attention especially after Jazmin gets her name and face in the press. Jazmin is the reason Nicole went public in the first place back in 2005 which is in one of the first interviews. She had to get Alex acknowledged and I wish had a link to the old interviews. Albert loves children and feels both of his children are part of his private life a reason you don't see photos of them in the press.
Albert is the one who said they are part of his private life.I always love your posts. I agree with you. However I just wish Albert would just let the press photograh he and Jazmin together just to show off his daughter and show the world that he is proud of her. When you say she is part of his privite life makes it look as if he is trying to hide her. She is a beautiful adult now. He should be proud and beaming over her. I can understand keep Alex private, he is a child but Jazmin is grown now. It's time to stop keeping her private and show her off proudly and who cares what anyone's else may say.
Also, I have heard that she hears from her aunts Caroline and Stephanie reguarily when she is in the US.
Albert is the one who said they are part of his private life.
Why exactly should Prince Albert leave his wife at home and take his daughter to a gala? Why do you assume that showing off Jazmin means that Prince Albert?
Yes, indeed. What a very foolish statement. Yes, she is his daughter, biologically, but not spiritually. It was a 1 night stand. The woman got pregnant and had the child. He supports her, financially, (better than a lot) and perhaps, personally, I do not know that. To leave his real wife behind, what , I must say, I am trying to be polite, ridiculous reason. These children on here , but realistcally, not because their father wanted them. Yes, he is responsible, but their mother's more so. They knew the rules. They knew with whom they were dealing. It doesn't make it right. It is reality.
And I'll tell you something, if I were the mother of the boy, I would be seriously considering taking his case before the euro courts and see if he cannot have rights to full inheritance pushed through. Why should he not be able to be his father's full heir? Why should this new baby have more rights than he and his half sister do?
Thank you!Yes, indeed. What a very foolish statement. Yes, she is his daughter, biologically, but not spiritually. It was a 1 night stand. The woman got pregnant and had the child.

I know he is the one who said that. And that is the point. He needs to stop saying that and stop with the need of trying to hide them or in this case Jazmin.
What he needs to do is leave Charlene at home for a gala or two and have his daughter on his arm. There is nothing to be a shamed of. He should be proud of her and want to show her off.
I still feel this way very strongly. If a man does not want to have children birth control is his responsibility and his alone. No man, especially a very wealthy man, should trust someone he is not serious about on this issue, nevermind a casual encounter.
I have always been confounded at Albert's stupidity to get caught this way not once but at least twice. He and his sisters are cut from the same cloth in this. All with children conceived out of wedlock and accidents. If the wealthiest and best educated cannot govern their procreative responsibilities, how in the world can we expect anyone to?

In this day and age, with out of wedlock births becoming the accepted norm, rather than the shameful exception, it is demonstrably unfair for a child to be denied his or her rights because of a parent's actions. Maybe if men knew they had to give natural children full and equal treatment with the children of their marriage, they would learn caution.

As far as I know, the European Court of Human Rights to not dare to mess with monarchical rules of succession and titles.
Long ago and far away, when I was in college, a male college was complaining to me that his wife had gotten pregnant again on purpose because she wanted another and he didn't. I asked him what he was doing for birth control and was very unsympathetic when I pointed out that if he didn't want children the responsibility to prevent conception was on him.

I am just playing devil's advocate here. And I think these discussions are quite fun, so please bare with me!!!
I don't see why this rule of undoubted legitimacy can't be changed. After all, less than 50 years ago, it was unthinkable that a first born girl should hold a place above a younger brother in the succession. Yet, even GB has given way on this one. It's just one more out dated rule that should fall by the way side.
Do a quick roll call in your head of the older sisters who would have been Queens Regent under todays rules.
Among the heirs today under the age of 12, I believe only Prince George of Cambridge and Prince Christian of Denmark will be Kings, the rest will be Queens though I am probably missing someone. And at least two of those girls have younger brothers. Let's not forget that when Carl Philip was born he was the heir of Sweden, then the rules changed and this was stripped from him and given to his elder sister. I am not sure of the rules in Spain, should they have a son, but I think the old male preferred rules still apply there.
Getting back to my original argument, I think that the example of the demise of male primogeniture would be a great argument that the laws of legitimacy are likewise unfair and outdated and should be done away with.
Especially now that paternity can be proven absolutely. It is no longer "mama's baby, daddy's maybe."

He has accepted responsibility. But nobody has a right to dictate to him how his relationship with his children should be in public. It is something private between them. And his priority should be his wife, first and foremost.
