Prince Albert is a man like any other man. He is not perfect and made few mistakes like any other human being. The only problem is his mistakes are public knowledge. Fortunately, I believe in miracles and I think he would not marry Charlene. He is still looking for his soul mate, a woman who loves him for him not his royal status. I am not saying Charlene is attracted by his rank, maybe she truly loves him. However, she is not the one for him. She is his girlfriend for now because she is at the right place, at the right time. I'm pretty sure there is a woman who nobody heard of who would become the next Princess of Monaco. A woman who would be his confident, his partner, who would share his zest for life. A woman who would give him back some respectability. This woman would change the course of Monaco. I am praying for this woman and I hope he'll find her soon!
The main, if Albert still belives that such Special Woman exists and he still have a chance to meet her. I dare to suppose that he may think that a "gold heart" filled with real love, sincerity and devotion" he will find among
plain living people, but not in the cream of society. The chances are better than even...
I agree that at present time Monaco is higly needed in the
new wave of respectability (that Charlene, alas, is not able to give) so that to avoid the conversion of Monaco from mass-media "operetta state" into "circus". I am sorry for these words, they are not my invention.
A kind-hearted, nice in many aspects (and, of course, high-educated and high-bred), woman from the middle class would be a real boon not only for him, but also for country. It would be a fine gesture of respect to people living there. But this is matter of chance...Some people are, unfortunately, unlucky in their dreams and expectations fulfillment...
One expression came to mind: "Greatness can be given by birth, it can be also achived by great efforts, but also it can be granted". I would like to wish PA to stay with that woman who deserves such generous grant.
