It is not like Albert to be derelict in his duties. The report says that he had to cancel due to "urgent changes in his program". I hope that everything or everyone is all right.

Albert definitely didn't shave. Perhaps he has a trip to a very cold climate coming up where he needs to grow a beard.

A good point. Have we ever seen Albert with a beard or at least a good bit of stubble. ?

Two upcoming foreign visits for Prince Albert this month!


From February 13-15 Prince Albert will make a state visit to Mali and following that he'll be
on an official visit to Burkina Faso from February 15-17. Princess Charlene will not take part
in the journey to the two West African countries.


Here's an overview over the planned agenda:

What a pity PC won't go on the African State visits with him. I wonder why not?

We won't speculate about any possible reasons - as always, I think that's understandable
