I think their way will be different from what their parents went through. Time is different, circumstances are different, values are different. We shouldn't compare Albert and his sisters to their parents too much.
They were shown the right way, their right way. They are very intelligent, ahrd working people - all three of them. They are devoted to their country and its people. None of them has ever let this duty down. They've always been there. Sometimes they followed other roads, just to learn, to get to know things - but they always came back. They developed great passions for things they now fight for ... they always tried to advance things.
Some see them as inapropriate losers with bad behaviour who don't act like royals should do - and that's why they see Monaco go down
.
But this is a false interpretation in my opinion: Monaco needs people like Albert, Caroline and Stephanie - Monaco is a modern country, it is very small, it has to rely on new technologies, new entertainement, new events, new possibilities, new ways ... a lot more than Great Britain needs these things. Monaco doesn't really need a very regal, reserved princely family ... it needs a modern princely family, who's memebers dare to do things, things which might not seem very common.
Albert, Caro and Steph are full of ideas and good intentions to advance their little country. They will surely take some of their experiences as help. They certainly made mistakes along their ways but which human being wouldn't
.... The are very well prepared !!!
...Je crois que il faut pas se tourner vers le passé, s'en servir c'est sur! Notre père a , aussi bien á ma soeur qu'à mon frère, nous a inculté de valeurs qui nous sont trés trés cheres et trés imortantes aujourd'hui. Justement il nous a tous bien preparé à cette avenir qui est devant nous. Je pense qu'on est enfin prèt et on va justement se servir de se magnifique pays que notre père nous a laissé pour le faire evaluer ... avec le monde exterieur ... et, comme mon frère a dit dans un de ses discours, que le rayenement de Monaco sera vraiment international et pour les bonnes raisons surtout
Princess Stephanie of Monaco, January 2006
Translation:
" I think we shouldn't turn to the past but serve ourselves from it. Our father has, my sister as well a my brother, he taught us values which are very importent and dear to us today. Actually he prepared us very well for the future, our future which lies ahead. I think we are ready for it and we will take this magnificant country and develop it ... with everything around ... as my brother said in one of his discourses, that Monaco's light will be really international and for good reasons above all."
