Monaco is the second smallest country in the world after the Vatican.
The total area is less than 2 square kilometers, and the population is less than 40,000; but such a small country, its per capita income is as high as 400,000 or so.
As one of the richest countries, Monaco is also a popular destination for many of the richest.
So, Albert, as king, was worth more than $1 billion.
And what made him bald was that in order to get the blessing of France, the royal family signed a paper treaty with France.
The treaty stipulated that if there was no legal male heir to the royal family, monaco would be incorporated into France.
This can be understood as two points: first, the future successor must be a prince; second, he must be born of a queen, and illegitimate children are not counted.
This drove Albert crazy for a while. Because he has many lovers around him, he has only had two illegitimate children; and such children obviously cannot be officially recognized.
So, after getting married in July 2011, having a son became a top priority for Albert.
Fortunately, in December 2014, Princess Charlene gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses. As the first pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses in Monaco in a hundred years, the degree of favor of these two children can be imagined.
Especially the prince Jacques, who can be said to be the prince who saved the royal family from birth!
Albert painstakingly left Charlene in order to save the face of the royal family
If not, the more you want something, the more you lack something.
As early as Albert's grandfather's generation, the royal family almost broke the inheritance because they did not have sons.
Therefore, although his father, Rainier III, was very careful when it came to marrying his daughter-in-law. After picking and choosing, Rainier married Hollywood actress Grace Kelly.
To say that this Grace is also angry, after marriage, three years of holding the two of her, soon have a pair of children.
Albert, as the future successor, is the favorite of the royal family. From academics to sports, Albert's performance is also worthy of the love of the royal family.
But there is a little bit of bad, Albert inherited his father's affectionate affair.
In the early years, Albert even spread the rumor of chasing Gong Li. Unfortunately, Gong Li had already seen through his flower heart attributes, so he did not agree.
In those years, from models and actresses to flight attendants, Albert never lacked red-faced confidants.
So, less than a year after Albert ascended the throne, he had recognized two illegitimate sons. One of them was born with a married woman.
It can only be said that Albert this guy is really not a picky eater.
However, after ascending the throne, Albert was much more stable. After all, he had to think about the inheritance of the royal family.
At that time, the legitimate girlfriend who accompanied him was Charlene from South Africa.
Known as the "mermaid" of South Africa, Charlene is not only beautiful and generous, slender in stature; more importantly, she is a healthy athlete and has a good reputation internationally.
So, when Charlene retired, Albert proposed to her.
Beginning in the second half of 2010, the entire Monaco royal family was preparing for Albert's wedding.
However, less than half a year before the big wedding, an accident occurred: Princess Charlene-to-be escaped!
What's the point of making a princess-to-be give up her wedding?
The answer is: on the eve of the wedding, Albert had an illegitimate son coming to the door. And calculate the birth time of the child, which is when Charlene and Albert are in love.
Before he was married, Albert was dead. From this, it can be seen that after marriage, can he accept his heart?
In order to escape Huaxin's fiancé, Charlene planned three escape plans. But in the end, she was still "caught" by Albert's people.
You know, in April 2011, Prince William of the British royal family had just gotten married. At that time, the news reports were that Monaco wanted to suppress the British royal family and hold a protracted wedding.
Therefore, whether it is for the sake of face or the inside, the royal family cannot allow Charlene to repent.
In this way, in July 2011, Charlene cried and got married.
Jacques: Born to save the royal family, the length is more lovely than George
Or should Albert be the one insisting on marrying Charlene? After all, Charlene after marriage could not be more competent.
Compared with the scandalous actresses or models, Charlene's image is very decent; in addition, she actively does public welfare and uses her influence to continue to contribute to the image of the royal family.
Under Charlene's efforts, Albert's flowers and wanderings have been ignored a lot.
In December 2014, Charlene gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses that the Monaco royal family had never encountered in a hundred years.
Thanks to the efforts of several generations of princesses, Prince Jacques's appearance is naturally speechless. In particular, compared to George, who was more than half a year old and also his heir, Jacques was more cute and delicate.
With fair skin and those blue eyes, Jacques was as delicate as a little girl.
Sunglasses around, no one loves. Such a cute baby, who doesn't like it?
When watching the ball game, the sister generously kissed her mother, while the well-behaved Jacques sat in the seat herself;
When visiting Japan, the sister controlled the whole scene; Jacques looked a little overwhelmed under the "encirclement" of his friends;
When she agreed to Princess Charlene to record a blessing video, her sister sang a song, and Jacques began to applaud.
It can only be said that compared with the extroverted sister, Jacques is a bit introverted.
After all, my sister is a bold princess who dares to follow her father and learn him to do small actions!
For such a Jacques, the people prefer it. Because in the eyes of the people, Jacques, as the future successor, should be steady and responsible.
And sometimes giving the camera to other people is also a modest virtue for a prince.
Today, Jacques is not only the hope of the royal family, but also the lubricant that eases the relationship between his parents.
Because after the big wedding, although Charlene gave birth to a pair of lovely dragon and phoenix fetuses, her relationship with Albert still did not seem to ease up.
Last year, Charlene returned to South Africa for a long time on the grounds of "physical discomfort".
During this time, when Charlene followed the public welfare group to photograph wild animals, she looked much happier than in the royal family.
So, during that time, the media was rumored: Albert and Charlene had a marriage change.
And in order to win back a round for the royal family, Jacques and his sister became the signboard.
Not only did they follow Albert around to work, but they also made a difference. For example: Mom, we miss you; or, the cute everyday life of the dragon and phoenix fetus.
It can only be said that as a member of the royal family in Monaco, Jacques was "forced to operate" at a young age.
Now 7 years old, he is also a little handsome man in a suit. In every move, the elegance and atmosphere of the successor have begun to take shape.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of such a pair of lovely children that Princess Charlene, who has been rumored to be married several times, will return to the royal family again and again?
After all, children are the treasures of parents. For them, the parents gave everything at all costs.
