The Monegasque princely family is among the world's most renowned noble families. At its helm stands Prince Albert, the eldest son of Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly.

Prince Albert raves about his family

In the interview, Albert emphasizes the significance of providing unwavering support to his family. "“Before any final decision is made, I gather a lot of opinions and advice, but when you are in front of the sheet to sign, no one can do it for you. It’s a solitary exercise.” he explains.

His sisters are an important support.“Yes, I contact them quite regularly and they give me their opinions. Don’t think they’re leaving me in a corner,” he says. He mentioned that he regularly meets with them and actively listens to their perspectives.

The relationship between Stéphanie and Albert seems particularly close. “We also sometimes give him our opinion even before he asks us!” Stéphanie adds with a laugh.

She remembers her childhood and emphasizes the care of her brother. He would always have taken the time to look after her and play with her. “Definitely having seven and eight years difference with my brother and sister counted. My brother was lovely, he put up with me so often, I always wanted to play with him. His patience with me has been unfailing," she said.
