PA and the Principality have responded to the flooding in Pakistan - they're sending 100,000 euro from their "Aide Humanitaire d'Urgence" budget; the money will be administered by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

not sure where to put this, whether here or in the PA/Charlene Current events since they are both expected to attend, but found it on a twitter search for "Prince Albert of Monaco"

Apparently he and Charlene (along with Prince Charles of Wales and Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed) are all scheduled to grace CWG inaugural

The summit, which is being held in conjunction with the General Debate of the
65th session of the UN General Assembly later this week, is a way for world
leaders to review the ambitious anti-poverty targets adopted in 2000 and
accelerate the achievement of the goals that have been set.

Prince Albert is in Russia for two days! He attends the conference "Arctic -
Territory of Dialogue", the first major conference of the Russian Geographic
Society in Moscow on September 22 and 23. Members of the intergovernmental
Arctic Council - comprising Russia, the United States, Canada, Norway, Denmark,
Finland, Iceland and Sweden - as well as scores of scientists and international
polar experts gather to discuss the region's future.

During the event Prince Albert will be named an honorary member of the
Russian Geographical Society.

Here are some pics of day 1:

Funny connection you've made but the pic shows them during dinner
the evening before the other picture at the conference was taken. See my
previous post for that

Today, September 24, Prince Albert has been back in Monaco and visited the
International Monaco Yacht Show at Port Hercules. The thing he holds in his
hands is the scale model of the 'Planet Solar Turanor' yacht he is standing
on, the world largest ship working on solar power.

[Elly C]

I was a bit confused by these reports when I first found it given that Albert had been in the US at the conference just the day before & then was in Monaco for the yacht show the day after - but I guess it must have been a quick stopover visit.

Elly C, the article was written on Thursday, September 23, and talks
about the weekend prior to that, so that would be September 18/19,
then it could have worked fine

It would have been nice to see Charlene with him. He went as a tourist?

 

[melina premiere]

The cantabria government said last week that the visit of the Prince to day will be very short, two hours, it is a duty visit , he said also that Charlene Wittstoch will not be with him.

Marika and iceflower, thanx for posting these pictures. It had to be a private trip for Albert because he was so casually dressed.
I am just wondering why Charlene is not with him. They have not been seen together for some time now. One would expect that engaged royal couple shows often especially that they want to promote this wedding as something that would revitalize economy. Just asking. Weird, weird. Of course it is IMO.

 

[Sereta]

I was thinking the same thing. Normally a couple start making more appearances after they are engaged.

 

[Nathalie Cox]

^Me too. Well, God knows.
Albert looks good, but...i really think he should loss weight. I'm starting to get worried.
