Right after the Grand Prix , Albert will head to Lativa and Estonia. I am assuming without the flagship of Monaco, since Estonia is just too low profile for a flagship to waste a tens of thousands of dollars wardrobe on. From Estonia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs website: His Highness the Sovereign Prince of Monaco Albert II to Visit Estonia
27.05.2011
From 2-3 June His Highness the Sovereign Prince of Monaco Albert II will be in Estonia for an official visit. His Highness Prince Albert II will meet with President Toomas Hendrik Ilves and Prime Minister Andrus Ansip. He also has a meeting scheduled with director of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Toomas Luman. During his visit, Prince Albert will participate in the electric car rally and visit the Old Town Educational College and KUMU Art Museum.
The Prince of Monaco will be accompanied on his visit by Foreign Minister of Monaco Jose Badia, who will meet with Foreign Minister Urmas Paet.
Topics to be discussed during the visit are Estonia-Monaco bilateral relations and opportunities to intensify them, as well as environmental issues.

Some bloggers on the Eringer blog (and Eringer to some extent) are blogging that some of the Nazi's gold is still in Monaco. It's actually a pretty interesting read if one has the time. Try his regular blog not the Q & A, although you could probably find interesting stuff on this subject there too. |

Has anyone noticed that Albert's people have dropped the Serene Highness and now just refer to him as Highness. I guess they think it makes him more royal sounding?

Trivia question:
Can anyone name a head of state that makes more state visits to other countries than Albert?

While being here without his leechy fiancée, it seems that Albert used the opportunity to hold his stag night.  The guy on the right of the first pic is funny...  Apparently Tallinn is a real party town. Albert took a few of his best friends along (so that's why he needed a bigger plane) invited some handsome females along (see first and second pic, that's them). Combine them together and you have a succesfull stag night. Alcohol was available in bucketloads and the men amused themselves tremendously. But all the graceful ladies came away empty-handed with regard to Albert. Because he is already taken. The rest is blah-blah about the coming disaster. Don't you love that pic of Albert? He looks likes he's enjoying himself tremendously. ;D Now why do I not believe that those ladies didn't get lucky with regard to Albie? |

Thanks Grimnir. LOL! Somehow I don't think this was a special stag night for Albert - just something he normally does when he goes on these official/state visits with his trashy parasite. I wonder where they gathered up these "ladies"?

My bet is those guys are his bodyguards. They have "bodyguard" written all over their body. The right one forgot to read the dress code though.  (And reminds me of Putin somehow) MyaDia, I just paraphrase and summarise the article. They said stag night. Well, they used "Wild Junggesellenparty in Tallinn" actually, but that looks like a bit of exaggeration. Re. your delicate use of "ladies", just spit it all out! |
