Excellent pictures queenofthelight. I love them. The first with the monkey is so cute, and the other one showing the Soverign Prince in his work is great. Sometimes I think we should dedicate more time to this man in his thread

Anybody knows where can i find a video interview of him? I've seen Grace's Caroline's Albert's etc, but i can't find in youtube, nor any other site. Didn't he give one to Larry King in his show?
Also, i only find little parts of his visit to America (in Grace documental biographies in youtube) where when he speaks, they cut it!

I noticed on Prince Rainier's Wikipedia page that he received lots of senior orders from other royal families including the Seraphim and Leopold from Sweden and Belgium. Does anyone know why Albert hasn't received the same ones?

Usually an Order is exchanged in the framework of a State Visit. The Prince seldomly is involved in a State Visit. In Amsterdam in 2013 the Prince did attend the Investiture of King Willem-Alexander, but no Orders were exchanged: just the Investiture Medal 2013, which is no Order.
