Prince Albert and Alexandre have played at the padel and tennis club "Tennis Padel Soleil" - the very rare photo of father and son has been posted yesterday, so maybe they did so yesterday or last weekend:

Maybe it's just me, but I'm wondering about the fact that Albert has recently invited Nicole Coste to share public ceremonies as well his son Alexandre to join him. As long as Charlene was at his side it never happened (as I can well understand). Is he preparing for things to come in the future?

Are you speculating that he might one day marry Nicole Coste? In that case, Jacques would no longer be his heir as that position would go to Alexandre as his elder son.

Or in that case, Prince Albert II could amend the house laws to make a distinction between civil legitimacy and legitimacy in terms of succession to the throne. Didn't you say that even though Luxembourg civil law also legitimates children whose parents subsequently marry, you do not believe that extends to succession to the throne?

I'm not sure what the case of Luxembourg has to do with the case of Monaco as both countries have their own laws (both on legitimization and on succession) that do not necessarily correspond.

As far as I am aware, in the specific case of Monaco, currently, Stephanie's eldest children are in line to the throne as is Andrea's eldest son because of the subsequent marriage of their parents. So, I assume that same rule would apply in the case of Albert's children.

The article which you shared states that it bases that conclusion on Monaco's civil code, which legitimates children by the subsequent marriage of their parents. As Luxembourg's civil code also includes such a law, the same logic would apply.

As for Monaco, the house law allows the reigning prince to unilaterally exclude any member of the sovereign family from the line to the throne, so it appears he has substantial authority over the succession.

Whatever happens, Jacques is the Crown Prince and I don't imagine for one moment that will change whether Albert married Nicole or not.

Or simply that Charlene was perhaps less comfortable with Albert’s older children (and their mothers) and Albert is using this stressful time to reach out to all his kids?

Yep, but the timing is at least unfortunately chosen!

Even here in the Royal Forums, where good minded royal watchers meet, it leads to discussions about the standing of little Jaques as Crown Prince...

Princess Charlene is going through "who knows what" and Prince Albert is alledgedly meeting old flames and their offspring? I repeat: Unfortunate timing!

That makes some sense to me (although that begs the question why he feels the need to do so in public) but I responded to a post that referenced "Is he preparing for things to come in the future?", and your option doesn't seem to fit that speculative question...

[MsJulie]

Could Prince Albert be trying to distract media away from his wife and bring in other people such as his grown children? Everyone e is talking why now? Just an idea.

Well, the other option is "perhaps Jazmin Grace and Alexandre will be more frequent in Monaco now”. It doesn’t mean Albert’s preparing to marry either of their mothers.

It may be Monaco, land of melodrama, but I'm not sure how Charlene has suddenly become the mad wife in the attic and Albert is looking for a new wife and a possible succession change. It seems a bit rude, when the reality is Charlene is quite ill and trying to change that, and Albert is trying to cope (by all accounts with his kids and family, not anything romantic).

This can also be phrased as:
P.Albert is meeting *his* offspring and being on civil terms with their mothers.

Funny that in a bunch of other threads on these forums be feel that other royals should be more civil to their pre-marital offspring and meet up with them, and in this thread we berate P.Albert for doing exactly that...

Dud somebody publish this video published by the palace for the birthday of Charlène, ? a local newspaper said that Albert have choosen all the photos of this video
https://www.facebook.com/palaismonac...05728964682294

Why all these allegations about a photo? Jazmin was taken in photos whith Albert in public as the Masters tennis, nobody here said Albert may marry with the Jazmin"mother, it is the same thing with Alexandre, ge is now 18 he can be taken in photos with his father

You forget that Charlene and Albert are still marrid, Charlene is still princess of Monaco, the palace gave three press releas about the hearlth of Charlene and said, three times that Charlene will be very happy to share public events with mongash people , the palace would have not publish the anniversary video if the couple would separate, there would be a silent and not these publications about Charlene
What you are not saying is that Charlene would never divorce, she would protect the situation of her children as heirs of Monaco and she is catholic and has a big faith

Albert asked that the medias they respect their private life and the private life of their children, Albert saud in the Point de Vue of novamber that he was furios angry about Mrs Costes ( he called her like this) because of the article she made in Paris Match, it is not the behaviour of a loving man

Now the couple is married, Charlene is still the princess of Monaco
All these allegations are nothing

The video of the anniversary of Charlene was published on the official page of the palace and on the official instagram of the palace

Here is the link of the video of the anniversary on the official instagram of the palace
https://www.instagram.com/p/CZJUb4Zp5OZ/

In Monaco matin dated on january 20h, there was an article about the championship of paddle which took place on january 15 and 16th at Eze

Prince Albert visited the club of paddle with friends

Well, yeah, at least imho it is a question of the timing! Nothing wrong with caring about his kids from other relationsships, but Charlene is the Princess now.

We don't know, what she is suffering from, but surely she needs all the support she can get.

[Denville]

I think that there are clearly problems.. (..) I think that they will have to reach some kind of agreement on what they are going to do. And yes it is fine to see his other children but if he was seen with his old girlfriend right now wehn Charlene is unable to appear at events, it looks odd.

[melina premiere]

There are no photos of N Costes near Albert since the interview in Point de Vue where Albert said he was angry against Mrs Costes because the article of of Paris Match, The last year there was only a photo of Albert near NCostes at the anniversary of Alexandre in august
N Costes was taken in photo entering in the cathédrale of Monaco for the Sainte Dévote celebrations but as i said in a comment, you can enter and attend the mas without to be the guest of the prince, I have do it since several years and I am not the guest of the prince. a photo of N costes entering in the cathedrale is not the photo of her near Albert

All these cimments are fake allegations

[togram]

In my modest opinion, I think that we should all stop speculating about Mrs Costes. I think that she is trying to make herself seen and heard without any respect towards others. As Princde Albert has always shown, and especially since Princess Charlene was absent, sincere love and affection towards the twins. He his doing all that he can so their very young lives will continue as smoothly as possible. I never for one single second think that Prince Albert will do something to endanger their upbringing and upset their life.

[C4A]

Agree with your post, togram. I do not believe P Albert would “invite” Nicole C and Alexandre to Monaco at this difficult time. It doesn’t seem to be his style. Maybe Ms Coste saw an opportunity and invited herself? I see Alexander’s presence as being similar to that of Jazmin, as melina premiere suggests above. I do think Ms Coste’s sudden appearance in Monaco will be upsetting to P Charlene; I pray this will not affect her recovery.
