Albert II of Monaco is the papa of a small 21-month-old boy, called Alexandre. It is what asserts the mommy of the child, a flight attendant named Nicole Coste, in an interview published yesterday in magazines Chi and Bunte.
Front-page of the Italian magazine, they see Prince Albert holding a delightful small biracial boy with curly hair. Inside, the Prince is photographed with the mommy of the child, Togolese origin.
"We met on July 13th, 1997, on a flight to Nice - Paris," tells Nicole Coste in a very detailed maintenance.
"Albert asked me for my telephone number, then he invited me in Monaco where we spent a very loving night. He told me to keep the infant."
Nicole fell pregnant in December, 2002. She did not realize it right away.
" One evening, I jokingly asked him what they would make if I was pregnant. He said to me: 'If you were him...it is necessary that you keep the child.' I was surprised. These words came from the heart. I started to search for names...When my pregnancy test proved to be positive, I phoned Albert. He told me to keep the infant and that he would be in charge of him. He added: 'I do not promise you that I will marry you, but you and the child will lack nothing.' "
After three months, the situation changes. The flight attendant tells that Albert and her lawyer, Thierry Lacoste, got worried due to the status of future sovereignty of Albert.
" I thought of aborting, but it was too late. Two and a half months afterwards, Albert wanted to cut bridges with me. He said to me: 'The infant, it is impossible.' Afterwards it moved away from me. He did not answer my requests of contact. In the daytime of the delivery, on August 24th, 2003, in a Parisian private hospital, I felt very lonely. "
" One person from a Swiss laboratory came to take a sample of DNA from my son. It is Thierry Lacoste who had organized the thing. Later, he said to me jokingly: 'It would have been amazing if the test was negative...' As for the choice of name, I took Alexandre because it is the Albert's second name. For surname, the infant carries mine. Albert saw his son only two and a half months after his birth. He said to me that he did not succeed in accomplishing the thing.' "
Today, faced with this explosive evidence, Albert II of Monaco shuts himself away in silence. In the review copy of the Palace, the word of order is "No Commentary." This history arrives shortly after other one, similar. In mid-April, the English newspaper The Mail On Sunday maintained that Albert is also the papa of a thirteen-year-old American little girl, named Jazmin Grace Grimaldi, born of a relation with a Californian, Tamara Rotolo. The child was born on March 4th, 1992. The mommy tells that the prince has never wanted to make a test of acknowledgement of fatherhood.
