Wonder why they don't allow for competition in gas and electricity in Monaco and if the size of the country has something to do with that.

Years ago I was reading some article that Monaco state has also monopoly for cable connection, and that the Internet is only cable in MC, and connection very slow comparing e.g. to France. Wonder if it is still true.

I must say- I was worried there with those first two pics looking so very weary. #3 looks ok, smiling is good for him.

 o-h-hh don't know that 'weary' is the word that would really describe pics number one however, they did turn out great didn't they??
 Pic number one looked like he wasn't sure of what he was wanting to say or think?
 but number 2 looks like he got it all together and 3 just a great smile. it's alway fun with some pics to think of what's been going thru their mind at the time a picture is/was taken!! tee hee
 Camera's can take pics of someone in mid-speak and really gives a different impression of what is going on

Glistening Seas
it certainly must have been fun to make 2 historical journey's in a lifetime when even one would have been more than enough of a historical accomplishment
 However, two such successful trips has been something that has been great accomplishment!
 Must have been unusual to be in the same room where so long ago a noteable explorer slept and never realized his journey and to see all the belongings left of an era gone by.
 Thankfully we have the ability to things so much quicker now but yet....can't seem to manage to stay on top of the whole global warming thing.
After all that long treking it must have been whan-der-ful to finally get there.

I liked that interview posted by Florencia. I especially like Albert's response to a marriage question.

I tried to google Albert and Cannes, no results. The only mention was Cannes 2008. If Albert visited Cannes this year, I'm sure that googling it would pick this visit up immediately.

Thanks, Lakshmi and Florencia, for the Daily Telegraph article, and for googling Albert and Cannes.
Cannes is so near, a few minutes by helicopter, and there's still the connection between Grace and Cannes....and Monaco.
Perhaps he regards the Film Festival as not high priority, and he did attend a couple of charity events connected to the festival.

Indeed the article was cool!!
 A childrens petting Zoo would be waun-dhal-ful!!
It would be the only chance in a location such as Monaco for children to have close hands-on access to a zoo since it's already there.
Especially since PA has those great polar bear /bird specimens from the artic housed in a museum, it adds to the variety that Monaco has!!

It was a very nice article and I think he handled the question in the best way he could.
Renata, I wanted to thank you again for supplying me with the info you posted and that I requested--I did not have it exactly right.

"Nae bother!" as the Scots say, - i.e. no problem!
I think and hope that, under the current French government, it might be easier for Monaco the resolve some of the nitty-gritty issues between the two countries....

Hey-- Give me credit for being delicate and tactful which is admirable, and much needed sometime around these parts for all of the subjects on the forum. All of us can look unattractive some time if there is a camera in our faces at all times.
That was quite an interesting essay by some dramatic reporter. And I do think the prince handled the marriage question quite well, in fact, s'cool. It seems now people will h ave to leave that subject alone with him, since it appears he will not b e or do what other people think h e ought to be or do.

Albert, Albert and Albert.
Three Alberts together posing to one pic.  Wonder if any of them made any remark about this funny coincidence.
Or maybe it is not funny, it is just me thinking...
