He only acknowledged them publicly AFTER a tabloid was going to run a story on him. You never see them with him. I wonder if they've met (the siblings) abd if they've met their other family members.

I posted pics of the mothers and kids on this site. I don't know if a search would find it, but If I find it, I will post to this thread.

^ ^^I agree that he's a hypocrite, but the woman chose the relationship with him likely knowing that she would never be his wife and that her children would never be heirs. Especially after she had the first child, she knew. But the payday apparently was enough for her to keep up the relationship with him.

**this is just MY opinion**

I feel like if his illegitimate son wasn't biracial, there would be room for him in line to the thrown, he'd be at family functions and not hidden away somewhere.

Since when are illegitimate children in any royal family eligible for the throne or invited to family functions?

It's sad if the illegitimate kids can't get to know their family, but this isn't something that I think is a race issue.

I've seen them. The chick from Togo is well.... busted. Ain't no way in HELL my weave would look like Naomi Campbell if I have a child by the heir to a thrown/monarch! The lady in California looks pretty plain, next door type.

I believe Stephanie has an illegitimate child and is around the cousins. Like someone said earlier, the rules had been changed by the father - when best to suit the family.

The children may not be heirs to the throne (I think it's in Monaco's constitution) but they are heirs to the family fortune, which is worth billions!

They changed the constitution for a reason. Before it was not a problem as illegitimate children could inherit. It would be rather naive to think otherwise but if that's what you prefer to think, you may do so.

Very Ironic that Ranier changed the constitution, since his grandmother, who was the Grimaldi heir was illegitimate and inherited the throne....Once again, hypocrites...hope they have a bunch of girls, would serve the family right.


Through his great-grandmother Lady Mary Victoria Hamilton, who was briefly Princess of Monaco, he was a descendant of James IV of Scotland (descended from three of his illegitimate daughters)........


Rainier was born in Monaco, the only son of Prince Pierre of Monaco, Duke of Valentinois (né Count Pierre de Polignac) and his wife, Hereditary Princess Charlotte, Duchess of Valentinois. Born in Algeria, his mother was the only child of Prince Louis II and Marie Juliette Louvet; she was later legitimized through formal adoption and subsequently named heiress to the throne of Monaco. His father was a half-French, half-Mexican nobleman from Brittany who adopted his wife's surname, Grimaldi, upon marriage and was made a prince of Monaco by his father-in-law.

i got this from another forum im on

Its very complicated.


In a nutshell, Monaco will revert to French rule and cease being a Monarchy if there is no male(?) descendent to take over the throne.


Before Prince Albert's father died there was always an uneasiness about him inheriting the throne because he was all over the place and showed no interest in being the ruler.


Add to the fact he has dropped his seed all over the earth and admittedly does not know exactly how many illegitimate children he may have.


Also, he his father changed the constitution to make sure the son he had with the Togo woman would not be considered an heir to the throne. Before he changed it, an illegitimate child would be in the line of succession.


So basically that is why he waited to marry till he was 50. Even his wife is considered substandard.

It's such a sad little country. But it is rich. Kind of like Albert's new wife.


His wife is substandard because when it comes to royalty there are only so many acceptable options. Marrying a white African does not cut it. It's like he couldn't even find an Australian to marry.


Let's just say, if William (or even Harry) brought home this chick, the answer would be an quick "No" from the Queen and the whole damn country.


Monaco is so pressed to have a legitimate heir, they were just happy the damn woman is white. Nevermind she doesn't speak a lick of french, or come from any type of high breeding.

That's true -- but she's a legitimate princess with a wild side...

Fathers don't have to acknowledge the children I guess. Other than financially...
