Jazmin Grace Grimaldi Current Events 3 : June 2006 - Jan.2007

[Missyjojo88]

All we can hope for is that Alexander and Jazmin will live a happy life and I hope their parents try their hardest to make that possible.

 

[enchantednights]

there's a picture of tamara and albert together in another thread. perhaps someone can find it.

source: (allover press) yet another story, i'd post it but i don't know swedish so i wouldn't be able to translate but i found a picture of Jazmin smiling and a funny one of Albert. http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/foraldrar/story/0,2789,834419,00.html

has anyone noticed how Jazmin has the Grimaldi ears. I hope she has a good life and wish her the best she seems to be a good kid.

No matter what and how much we say about Albert, Tamara or Nicole. The've done what they've done more or less aware of the consequences. (For me probably more awaring were both ladies if they get pregnant with premeditation and Albert should be aware and more careful -but who knows if they were thinking about that.)

No matter how it was, I feel really sorry for both - Jazmin and Alexander. It must be/will be really hard for them (at the moment more for Jazmin than on Alex) live with consciousness that the whole world know that you're an out-of-wedlock child or just bastard. That you're not a child of love but just a result of the one-night romance in Jazmin's case (specially if your mother was married at that time).
Pity that people doesn't think about the future-possible children, when they go to bed with just known person and without protection .

That's only my point of view, my reflections.

P.Albet focuses on ...
1 Goble warming (environment)
2 fight poverty (money support illegimate children)

Some people said 2 children get big money but don't get LOVE from father. It means NOTHING because LOVE is more important than MONEY.

 

[xtan]

wonder if she looks like grace or char... anyone know?

 

[pallas athina]

I wish the children all the best for their lives will certainly not be simple.

 

[magnik]

At the moment I think that she looks like Albert. She has something in her face from him. I don't know how T looks when she was younger but I think that J has something from her too.
I wonder about Jazmine's smile and nose.
Anyone better pic of T, specially younger and smiling?

 

[Beate]

... i found a picture of Jazmin smiling and a funny one of Albert.

Thanks, I think it's a nice pic! She looks lovely ..and happy! My Swedish isn't the greatest but the story is just a repeat of the other ones. She is called a Love Child though ad the pic of Tamara and Jazmin was taken in Cannes. I think they were there last year or was it this year?

 

[Paula**]

Everybody was saying "she is not good looking", but I think she is!
she looks like a sweet girl...

 

[anag]

i honestly feel so much for Jazmin. I'm 16 and I know that puberty and school and just this age can be a big pain, but if i had photographers hound me, I think I would go mad! especially since she isn't used to them. little Alex will learn to deal, but Jazmin has to start now and ugh what an age to start. best of luck to her

I'm 16 too, and I feel you! If I had photogs hounding me to school and back or to tennis or soccer practice, well I think I'd go ERNST ON THEIR BEHINDS!

Love
Ani

i don't think tamara was ugly at all. rather pretty, i'd say. she just hasn't aged gracefully.

haha yes and then they would call you spoiled and pretentious and 'angry' sigh the press. poor girl though. i really hope she has a lot of patience.

Another quote from that paper:

"Jazmin is reportedly considering writing a book about her life or moving to France to study."

I can understand she wants to go to France to study, but considering writing a book doesnt make any sense to me. Hopefully it is not true, it doesnt look as a good decision or maybe it is the intentions of her mother.

I think writing a book would be a bad decision, especially if she ever wanted any ounce of privacy again. I know that her life now will never be as private as it was before, but to expose herself in such a manner by talking about her childhood and about the circumstances how and when she learned that Albert was her father or how she coped with it will just open her up to even more relentless media attention thatn she already has now.

I think that moving to France would have a similar effect. In the U.S., even though she's a tabloid's dream now, in a few weeks they'll have moved onto someone else and she'll be off the front page even if not gone from the tabloids forever. But to move to France and be so close to Albert and those nasty German tabloids who can make something controversial out of the most mundane actions, her life would be extremely scrutinized, and I don't know of any 14 year old who can handle such attention.

I agree with you. Overall though, I think it's a moot point for people to speculate whether or not they used protection. Everyone should always assume that a pregnancy might be the end result after sex because that's one possibility that might arise and it's not as farfetched as people think. I think people are under the thought that, "it could never happen to me" but the thing is, it could! Look at Jasmin and Alexandre.

I hope that Albert's recognition (and I don't believe that with either of his children that he himself wanted to acknowledge them; I think his hand was forced) of both children are worth it in the end. From here on out, they'll be hounded by the press almost constantly, especially when something is happening with their father. One of the drawbacks of being publicly acknowledged as a child of a royal/businessman/politician, I guess. I wish both kids luck that they grow up as normal as possible.

Some people said 2 children get big money but don't get LOVE from father. It means NOTHING because LOVE is more important than MONEY.

The sad but real thing is is that you can force someone to financially support a child, but you can't force them to care and/or love the child. The reality is that some men just sleep with women, thinking that there would be no repercussions and suddenly a child is there that they have to support. Some men feel resentment. Heck, I've seen cases where the child's own mother resents the child and treats the child badly. At the very least, Albert has been financially supporting Jasmin and Alexandre, which is more than what can be said of other fathers.

 

[Ghislaine]

What I don't understand (one of many things ) is why all this had to be made public. Recognition is recognition, a name on a birth certificate. IMO, it wasn't in JG's best interest to broadcast it to the whole world. The slightly lame excuse by Mr. Lacoste (the situation had become untenable for her) is, again IMO, not satisfactory. JG and/or her mother have in the past been bothered by the press as well (last year) and it will eventually blow over. Become old news again. The public recognition has only caused more upheaval, not less..... Anyway, has anyone any opions about who wanted this to become public? Albert: in an overzealous display of his honesty policy? TR: to make it public that she wasn't a liar and totally deluded. Or for her 15 minutes of fame and/or money, like NC? Possibly even JG, for her 15 minutes of fame thought I find that unlikely.

BTW, I find the wording of the Figaro piece interesting: "Juridically, Jazmin Grace is the daughter of prince Albert" (Juridiquement, Jazmin Grace est la fille du prince Albert). It's quoted, so presumably a direct quote from Lacoste. Exactly how am I to read this? That juridically is unnecessary, right? You are or you aren't, you can't be someone's daughter for 15%.

And with regard to the repeated blaming of Albert for not using contraceptives: how do you know? Maybe he did.

That's not unnecessary. You can have a legal father (for example your mother's husband) and a biologic father (your mother's lover). The juridical or legal father is not always the biologic one.

She is very pretty indeed..Not ugly.. They both look veryhappy..And after seeing this pic I would have to say that Jazmin look sher mom..Thanks for finding the pic! Great work!

you're welcome! i think she looks more like her mum too, but has Albert in her. I definitely see that.

I have scanned and posted that pic a while ago, you can find my post and more pics here.....

 

[Royal Fan]

I Think its time for the Monarchy to be Abolished or Albert should Abdicate I Dont belive these are his only kids. I Also dont belive that he will marry.

 

[enchantednights]

i didn't think we had to give the person who posted credit as well, but yes i did get it from there. i went through different threads looking for it so i believe that's why they were thanking me.

Well I'm not sure if you have to credit me, I just know that you have to credit members from other forums if you post their scans here.

But I just wanted to show the other pics as well, because there is one of Jazmin as a baby, and her birth certificate ....

 

[christinacg]

I always thought that Jazmin looked a lot like Albert so I'm not suprised about all this. I just hope her life isnt affected too much by all this; She's getting so much attention now from the media and she's still in school and kids can be mean at her age. I really hope that Albert and the family are welcoming to her too. My opinion of Albert right now is only slightly diminished but if he doesnt step up and take an active role in his children's life then I will give up on him.

 

[Royal Fan]

Ive already given up on him sigh..... those poor Children

 

[BurberryBrit]

I would really like to know what she thinks of all this. I would love to see her and TR interviewed by Oprah or Diane Sawyer. But they probably have some sort of gag order because PA is a head of state.

I would actually pay to see them on Oprah!

That's a bit dramatic but I understand the sentiment.

I think that the only thing that can restore his image is for him to lay low and try to focus on his country's agenda, and court and marry a suitable, respectable woman within the next year. He must also show outward affection towards his children. If I was his PR person, that's what I would advise him to do.

But I guess he doesn't want to live honorably. I'm sure Ranier had been advising him and chastising him for years to do the right thing. Instead he bucked the system and ended up with 2 illegitimate children.

 

[Neat2912]

As to the Royal Fan quote re not only kids, we 've had at least one other reliable post from someone here. We're waiting for the rest of the "shoes to fall".

Burberry From several articles I've read, Father G migjht well be responsible for( well at least not preaching responsibility, for whatever reasons). I guess mainly heir problems, or scandal. But it seems that there was gross dismissal in the early news of this sweet big girl and total silence for who knows how long-the mother would know.

 

[jabilo]

To be honest, we don't know how many children Albert has fathered; from now on it would be difficult to believe the Palais denials in this subject: one denial is not good but it would pass; but two!

Totally agree, personally i don't think we have heard the last. All he needs to do is piss another one of his baby mama's and they will go public. I would bet there are more or at least a couple. I do not think he was very careful before but i bet you that is a lesson well learnt and considering his reputation with women well....................I bet you CW does not fall pregnant unless they get married. I am sure he is using all the protection he can. He must have learnt that lesson well.

I dont think Jazmin got her father's look.. ..when you dont know Jazmin, you wont ever think she's a daughter of Albert..She looks very much like her mom...

Yes she does look like her mother but there is something about her that looks like albert but i just cannot figure it out. By the way did anyone else ever find it interesting when PA said in the NY times article that when the court dismissed the tamara case that he thought "the problem had gone away" like some school kid. Who even says things like about a kid without being sure if he is the dad. That was potentially his flesh and blood. Turns out it was. How sad.

 

[Toledo]

This was the first time I see a picture of Tamara Rotolo as a young person, even though time has not been kind to her, she was quite an eyeful back then. But her eyes are the ones coming out of the orbits on that photo, as if saying 'look whom I just scored'
If she only had a crystal ball...or remembered the purpose of the wedding band around her finger.
