Being born into a royal family means being born into a world of privilege and esteem.
Let’s take a look at his insanely lavish life.
The exterior is guarded by uniformed sentries and cannons.
The Prince’s Palace also comes with a long and evocative history.
It wasn’t originally a palace, or even built for the principality of Monaco.
Instead, it began its life in 1215 as a fortress for the Republic of Genoa.
He used this ruse to let in his soldiers and give Monaco control of the fortress.
In the centuries to come, the family gradually converted the fortress into the palace it is today.
It was a project with personal resonance for him.
“I consider it part of my responsibility as a custodian of this history and heritage.”
Many of these animals are rescues, either abandoned by previous owners or intercepted from illegal smuggling efforts.
But to his credit, he didn’t choose the easy way out.
He graduated with distinction from Lycee Albert I before pursuing his undergraduate studies at Amherst College in Massachusetts.
It’s also quite expensive, with a sticker price of $76,800 per year.
And he credits his time at Amherst for some of his success.
These trips, however, weren’t just for the amusement of a jaded royal.
His net worth is jaw-dropping
The tiny city-state of Monaco is nearly synonymous with wealth.
Indeed, nearly a third of Monaco’s 38,000 residents are millionaires.
If these high-flyers want a monarch they can personally relate to, they have one in Prince Albert II.
He was also invested some of his considerable wealth in philanthropic initiatives.
But while Prince Albert II had been uninterested in marriage, he wasn’t uninterested in romance.
This time, he emphatically denied the allegations.
He purchased it in 2016 for a price reported to be around $754,000.
But sentimental value almost certainly played into his decision.
“The house was very beautiful and very special to our family,” Prince Albert II recalled toPeople.
The festivities started with a civil wedding ceremony in the Throne Room of the Prince’s Palace.
And the fact that she was seen crying several times during the wedding festivities only furtherfueled public speculation.
“People think this palace is big, but our storage is full,” he toldPeople.
“I’m serious…I don’t know where to put things anymore.”
But one group of people can relate to these challenges: other royals.
“I admire his fight for several great battles,” he toldPeople.
“For the improvement of architecture.
For energy sustainability, against deforestation and on a number of environmental issues.
These are concerns on which we’ve frequently exchanged views.”
Other royals have also expressed their positive views of Prince Albert II.
It is a deep friendship one that has come a long way."
But his appearances with other famous faces are not just about seeing and being seen.
