Prince Albert II of Monaco has always had a lover and illegitimate child scandal, and has been sued several times and asked for paternity tests.
In the past few days, the photo of the prince and the two illegitimate children has been exposed, and the biological mothers of the two children are not the same person,
This photo should be the first photo of the 64-year-old Albert II with his two illegitimate children...
The photo was shared on Instagram by Albert II's old lover and former Air France flight attendant Nicole Coste.
Her account is private, and according to media reports, Jazmin, the prince's illegitimate daughter in the photo, commented on the photo, saying that Albert II was a "fatherly king."
It is said that the photo was taken in New York, and Albert II happened to be in New York recently, presumably taking the opportunity to meet two illegitimate children.
In the photo, the prince sits on the left side, one hand around the girl next to him.
The girl, Jazmin Grimaldi, is 30 years old.
Her mother is Tamara Rotolo, a 61-year-old American waitress and the first former lover to have an illegitimate child scandal with Albert II.
Tamara and the prince met in the early 90s and began a secret relationship,
Later, Tamara became pregnant and gave birth to a girl, Jazmin, who is now an adult.
Jazmin met his father Albert II for the first time when he was 11 years old,
After litigation and paternity tests, the prince finally recognized her.
Jiazmin said that it was very good to be serious, and their relationship has been very good since then.
Later, on some occasions, the father and daughter also took photos together.
In the latest group photo, Jazmin sits in the middle, with his father Albert II in one hand and Albert II's other illegitimate son, Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste, in the other.
Alexander is 19 years old, and his mother is Nicole, a Togolese aviation lady who took the photo this time.
It is said that the two met on a plane in 1997 and broke up after a few years of romance, during which she gave birth to a son Alexander for Albert II.
At first, the prince would come to see the children and take some group photos,
But then he did not come, and did not fulfill his promise to "recognize his son", and did not recognize Alexander as his illegitimate son through a lawyer until he was about to take the throne.
After recognizing each other, the prince also took photos with Nicole and Alexander's mother and son.
The latest photo is the first time Albert II has taken a photo with his two illegitimate children.
Currently, Jazmin and Alexander are the only illegitimate children recognized by Albert II, and they are half-siblings.
Under Monegasque law, children born out of wedlock Jazmin and Alexander may inherit the property of Albert II, but do not have the right to the Monegasque throne,
Unless Albert II married someone's mother, it is almost impossible now.
In fact, in addition to these two in the photo, Albert II has other suspected illegitimate children.
In December 2020, a Brazilian woman filed a lawsuit demanding that the prince recognize their illegitimate daughter.
The woman said she met Albert II at a nightclub in Rio de Janeiro in 2004.
It is said that at that time, the prince and Charlene had already begun dating.
The woman gave birth to a daughter, now 15 years old, who sent a letter in Portuguese to the Royal Palace of Monaco last September, hoping to confess to the prince.
The girl did not get a response, and the mother and daughter decided to take the prince to court,
However, the prince's lawyer said it was a "hoax" and that the trial scheduled for February never began, and some speculated that the matter had been settled.
In addition to dishonoring the Monegasque royal family, the issue of illegitimate children also brought a lot of harm to Princess Charlene.
Last week, Charlene and Albert II attended a Princess Grace Awards ceremony in New York.
Charlene still has short hair,
When she suddenly cut her short punk hair in 2020, there were rumors that she was stimulated by the lawsuit for Albert II's illegitimate son.
Although it is said that the child is innocent,
But the "illegitimate child problem" will probably always be a thorn in Princess Charlene's heart...
