PARIS - Monaco's Prince Albert II has acknowledged he is the father of a second illegitimate child, a 14-year-old girl living in California, his lawyer said in an interview published Thursday.
Albert, ruler of the tiny Mediterranean principality, "officially recognizes a paternity that was legally established a few weeks ago," lawyer Thierry Lacoste was quoted as saying in France's Le Figaro newspaper.
Albert had initially planned to keep his parentage of Jazmin Grace Rotolo secret until she reached adulthood, but "the situation had become untenable for her" in recent weeks amid increasing speculation about her father, Lacoste said.
Will they put him in the can?
Will they put him in the can?

Yep -- the tobacco can!!! LOL !!
how is this possible---I always thought he came in the can?
ROFL!!
Would that make him homosexual?
He's still not married, is he?
Not married...and from his own words, there may be yet other women to come forward as mother(s) of his progeny. My, my.
Apparently he doesn't just come in a can. |
He claims he's the father, but who's the daddy?
First LOL of the day, thanks!
He's European - they all seem that way whether they are or not.
Nah. Since time immemorial it has been an ancient crown prerogative, and recognized as such. The bastards merely got a diagonal bar on their coats of arms.
Prince Albert is a brand of pipe tobacco sold by John Middleton, Inc. The brand gained widespread recognition, perhaps infamously, due to the classic prank call, where the caller asks if the store has "Prince Albert in a can" and when the unsuspecting clerk responds "yes", the caller follows up with "You'd better let him out (before he suffocates)!"
Despite (or perhaps, due to) this negative publicity, Prince Albert is one of the more popular independent brands of tobacco in the USA. More recently, it has also become available in the form of pipe-tobacco cigars.
Though there have been several Princes Albert in the monarchies of Europe, Prince Albert tobacco is not named for the most well known Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha who was husband and Prince Consort to Queen Victoria. Albert and Victoria's eldest son was also known as Prince Albert before he took the throne as Edward VII. The brand of tobacco was introduced after the Prince Consort's death, and the image on the can shows a man with full beard, which the Prince Consort did not wear. Also, wording on the package was changed somewhat once Prince Albert had become King Edward VII.
There are also variants of the joke involving King Edward brand cigars (named for Edward VII) and Martha White brand flour. The prank caller inquires if the store has "King Edward in a box" or "Martha White in a bag."
You are right. I do recall the british monarchs having all kinds of extramaritals and out-of-wedlock births.
I do wonder this: this girl is a waitress. I didn't think Albert would take up with "commoners". LOL
Obviously, the Prince has been worried as he's torn all his hair out of his head.
For Pete's sake, why doesn't he get married and have some ligitimate heirs?
Dr. Pepper comes in a bottle
....ever since his wife died.
Is he in competition with Bill Clinton? Saying you are a Prince of someplace must be a great pick-up line.
