Everybody has a weird side, and royals are no exception.
And during his younger years, the prince did not fully comprehend his mother’s glamorous past.
This was especially true when Albert and Caroline would watch the 1953 film “Mogambo.”

It was the silliest thing I’d ever heard.
We’d repeat that to her and then break up [laughing].
Being children, it was difficult for us to understand that she was acting."

And that was fantastic!"
Fascinatingly, the prince’s time in Glee Club involved a great deal of international travel.
It was fantastic!"

Not that I don’t get paid in Monaco, but I don’t really see my paycheck."
The prince became an Olympian on a whim
Most Olympians spend their entire lives training for competitions.
In contrast to these other athletes, Albert had a much more casual introduction to the Olympics.

He explained, “I didn’t really think about it until the Olympics in 1980.
Then, I saw a bobsled competition for the first time in my life.”
The prince decided to start training.

I stumbled into bobsledding …
It’s an incredible story of coincidence."
And, to Albert’s great chagrin, this meant taking a huge step back from bobsledding.

This dynamic became very clear when Albert announced his Olympic retirement in Nagano.
Given his other responsibilities, this intense gym schedule was clearly not sustainable.
And, in 2002, Albert hung up his competitive bobsledding helmet for good.

Given this complicated history of illegitimate children, one would think that Albert would take this issue seriously.
I say that I’m too old to be [Albert’s] son."
While not everyone would find this funny, Bern said that the prince gets a kick out of it.

What’s more, he noted that Mariza was not interested in suing Albert for money or fame.
One of the best examples of this occurred in 2011 shortly after Albert and Charlene tied the knot.
However, it soon became clear that the prince chose to work during this special moment.

Instead, he stayed holed up at a hotel in Durban, where he kept busy performing his duties.
For practical reasons, it was better to sleep there."
Instead, the princess spent her honeymoon solo at a seaside hotel located 10 miles away from Albert.

It’s a mystery."
This was reportedly because her condition was so bad.
In fact, during the six months that the princess was abroad, Albert only visited his wife twice.

Apparently, the dashing young prince was unfaithful to his gorgeous French paramour and Alric was furious.
Unimpressed, the gorgeous actor apparently sent the gift right back to the prince.
The relationship was over.
Interestingly, Albert has spoken out about his previous struggles to settle down and commit to one partner.
In a conversation with Robinson, the prince explained, “It’s a question of timing.
Maybe it’s my desire to be independent that has also prevented me from having a steady relationship.”
I suppose, as a new wife, how would one feel?
But she should think about my innocent child.
As a close friend of Coste’s told the Daily Mail, “Alexandre misses his daddy dreadfully.
He has started to feel sad and rejected.”
Apparently, the young boy would tearfully ask his mother, “Why can’t I see Daddy?”
She recalled, “We dated a few times.
He was Al Grimaldi, that’s how he introduced himself.
“Finally, after about four months, Al and I were intimate.
Afterward, he was concerned about me, hoping he hadn’t taken advantage of me.”
