Prince Albert II gives candid Television Interview

On Wednesday the 31st of January 2018, Prince Albert II was interviewed by Cyril Viguier on the Public Senate channel. During the rare live television appearance, the reigning Prince spoke about his personal life and the Principality.

At the beginning of the interview, the Prince answered a sensitive question: would Prince Albert II of Monaco be inclined to abdicate and pass on the throne during his lifetime? He responded by saying that he would consider it, especially because, as life expectancy increases, there may be a time when it will be difficult for him to perform his Royal responsibilities.

Prince Albert also spoke about his children Jacques and Gabriella and the media pressure that surround them. As a priority, the twins have to be protected and have good education in Monaco. But they also are being exposed little by little to public events so they won’t be overwhelmedby the media when they become old enough to take on more responsibility.

Pauline Ducruet presides over the 7th New Generation Circus Festival

Under the Fontvieille marquee, Pauline Ducruet presided over a circus festival dedicated to young people, which has been helping artists bloom for several years. The festival aims to keep the Circus tradition alive and to modernize the circus arts with young artists who rework classic, traditional numbers into more modern and dynamic pieces. Every year, more and more young people apply to participate in the festival, and although it’s a lot of work, Pauline Ducret is very happy to see artists who were once part of the New Generation Festival go on to perform at the International Circus Festival of Monte-Carlo.
