His ex-girlfriend, Nicole Coste, has publicly complained about his behavior on multiple occasions.
The Monegasque head of state is no stranger to tragedy.
The prince faced a tremendous amount of pressure due to his status as the heir to the Monegasque monarchy.
Even when he was small, Albert dared not dream of anything other than his destiny.
According to his father, Prince Rainier III, Albert understood his role from the time he was toddler.
Albert, meanwhile, had a different answer.
“I don’t have a choice,” Albert reportedly said.
“We had a long talk with [the doctor].
He was an extremely nice man and very understanding with us …
Apparently, Rainier, Albert, and Princess Caroline took a minute to discuss the decision together.
“It was a difficult decision sentimentally,” Rainier would later tell Robinson.
“But, from a rational, human standpoint it was an obvious decision.
There was no reason to keep her on the machine.”
Albert was left heartbroken.
In that sense, Albert did not just have to deal with the loss of his mother.
He also had to face a number of other changes to what had previously been a stable family unit.
No longer was his father the doting family man that he had been before.
Rainier grew solemn and more withdrawn.
All these changes made it difficult for Albert to move on from the tragedy.
It also takes a few years to really come to terms with it,” Albert said.
Many of his so-called “buddies” spent time with him to get a brush with fame.
Others yet hoped to enjoy some of the privileges that only a prince could provide.
That it was a one-way street."
Eventually, Albert decided to keep his identity under wraps when possible.
Apparently, Albert had wanted to be liked for his personality not his rank.
Apparently, Prince Rainier III was not always confident in Albert’s ability to succeed him.
Interestingly, Palmero and Lacoste submitted evidence of their claims to the paper.
That being said, Davos was quick to tell journalists that the conversation had been purely speculative.
In the end, Rainier allowed his son to succeed him following his death.
Nonetheless, the rumors surrounding Rainier and Albert’s difficult relationship live on.
Everybody wanted to know where Albert was spending his time and who he was going out with.
In terms of a lack of privacy, this situation was truly tragic.
In the long run, though, the public would not consider Albert a victim of the press.
Preceding his reign, the prince had kept a number of major secrets from his subjects.
A few weeks later, the prince claimed paternity of the boy, catalyzing a major scandal.
She was 14 years old at the time that Albert made his relationship to her public.
The scandal surrounding Albert’s secret children solidified the prince’s position as a tabloid favorite.
Suddenly, all eyes were on Albert and Charlene.
Others tried to find proof of a rift in the budding couple’s relationship.
You wouldn’t believe it."
Albert largely agreed with his wife, adding, “The actual wedding day itself was not as …
I mean it was pleasant, but I was more worried about how things would turn out.”
For the prince of Monaco, though, this never possible.
This hot-and-cold dynamic portrays Charlene as someone who may not be entirely happy with royal life.
It also hints that there might be some trouble brewing between her and Albert.
To rectify the problem, she underwent a series of other surgical procedures.
However, the numerous medical interventions proved challenging for Charlene’s system.
This must have been a terrible time for the prince.
After all, as Charlene’s friend told Page Six, “She almost died in South Africa.”
Like Grace, Nadia had lived in New York.
She had pursued a career in Hollywood albeit one that was more behind-the-scenes.
And she had a son, Thierry Lacoste, who was about Albert’s age.
The two boys grew up together.
After they became adults, Albert hired Thierry as a confidant and lawyer.
The combination of these two scandals forced Albert to take a step back from his friendship with Thierry.
It might even appear as though the couple has everything they could possibly want.
According to a report published in Le Monde, Albert and Charlene might have a spending problem.
On one occasion in 2017, Palmero recalled paying a 600,000 overdraft for Charlene.
Interestingly, the palace corroborated many of Palmero’s claims.
Palmero, though, maintained that the royals were spending far too much.
