	Monaco - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Monaco is the most densely populated country in the world and the world's second-smallest independent country with a population of just 32,410 and an area of 1.95 square kilometers (481.9 acres).
		Prince Albert II of Monaco formally became the ruler of Monaco on 12 July 2005, in a celebration that began with a solemn Mass at the cathedral where his father was buried three months before, after a reign of 56 years.

	Monaco
		In 1191, Monaco was given to Genoa by the Emperor Henry VI, a donation confirmed by Frederic II in 1220 and 1241, and by the comte de Provence in 1262.
		Nevertheless, the princes of Monaco maintained ties with France; Honoré (1778-1841), the eldest son of Honoré IV, was made a duke-peer under the Restoration (Napoleon had made him a baron in 1810); he succeeded his father as Honoré V in 1819 but continued to sit in the French House of Lords.
		The territory of the principality of Monaco is unalienable.

		Born in Algeria, his mother was the only child of Prince Louis II and Marie Juliette Louvet; she was later legitimized through formal adoption and subsequently named heiress to the throne of Monaco.
		As Prince of Monaco, Rainier III also was responsible for the principality's new constitution in 1962 which significantly reduced the power of the sovereign.
		Built in the 19th century and also known as Monaco Cathedral, the neo-Romanesque structure is the resting place of 17 previous sovereign princes of Monaco and several of their wives; it also is where Prince Rainier and Princess Grace were married in 1956.

	Monaco's prince in search of an identity - Europe - International Herald Tribune
		MONACO His Serene Highness, Albert II, Sovereign Prince of Monaco, Marquis of Baux, sits alone in his mother's old corner office on the top floor of his palace beneath a small crenellated tower from which flies the white Monegasque flag.
		While his father was known as the "builder prince," with a history of suspicious business deals (he was accused by the French of elaborate and illegal but wildly profitable stock market arbitration on the eve of his coronation), Albert may become known more for conservation and clean-dealing.
		He is resisting proposals to extend Monaco's territory with a man-made peninsula extending off the eastern end of the tiny city-state, arguing that a large project would gobble up beachfront, block views and overwhelm the principality's already car-jammed tangle of narrow, twisting roads.

	Prince Rainier of Monaco \| Obituaries \| Guardian Unlimited
		Becoming Hereditary Prince of Monaco in 1944, he served in the French army as a lieutenant, and a colonel, from 1944 to 1945.
		One of the great selling points, he emphasised, was that, in Monaco, a lady could walk at night wearing her jewels and still have them when she got home.
		Although Monaco's policies tended to fluctuate with highrise blocks welcome one year, unwelcome the next; fruit machines and open-toed sandals now welcome, now not; with tax avoiders and money launderers sometimes allegedly barely scrutinised, sometimes weeded out, the state of Monaco seems no less secure now than it was when he took over in 1949.

		Despite the initial success of Prince Albert and Princess Alice, in 1902 this marriage too ended, due to the princess's affair with the composer Isidore de Lara, a liaison that resulted in the princess publicly being slapped in the face by her husband during an evening at the opera.
		The prince was a direct descendant of Stéphanie de Beauharnais, an adopted daughter of Napoleon Bonaparte, and of William Thomas Beckford, the scandalous 18th century English collector, tastemaker, writer, and eccentric.
		In Monaco and other monarchies Caroline is usually referred to and addressed by the female form of the style attributed by tradition to her husband, i.e.

	HELLO! Royalty
		The first Lord of Monaco, a merchant-turned-pirate called Lanfranco Grimaldi, was Italian by birth and a member of the Genoan Guelphic family who invaded the area in 1297, following an economic dispute with rival clan, the Ghibellines.
		Monaco became a principality when the then ruler Honoré II assumed the title of prince in 1612.
		Subsequent Monegasque sovereigns upped their title count by marrying a string of French heiresses, which explains why, in addition to the title of Sovereign Prince of Monaco, the head of the principality can lay claim to 19 other titles.

	The Seattle Times: Nation & World: U.S. teen revealed as part of Monaco's royal family
		Monaco's Prince Albert II PALM DESERT, Calif. — Albert Alexandre Louis Pierre Grimaldi, his serene highness, sovereign prince of Monaco, again admitted Thursday that he has partaken in a centuries-old tradition among European monarchs: He has fathered another illegitimate child, this one the ponytailed daughter of a former waitress who lives near Palm Springs.
		Albert, 48, who has been the reigning prince of Monaco since his father, Prince Rainier III, died in April 2005, wanted to keep the matter private until his daughter became an adult, but a crush of recent coverage in Europe made that impossible, Lacoste said.
		While she could receive a share of the prince's fortune, which has been estimated at $2 billion, she will not join the line of succession to the throne, because Monaco's constitution requires that its rulers are the products of formal Catholic unions.

		The origin of the princely title deserves a parenthesis, as the intriguing relationship one may have with titles is not new.
		Since the prince of Monaco was well introduced in Rome — through his extended family in Genoa and Italy — he was made ambassador of France to the Holy See to plead the king's case in the delicate question of the succession of Spain.
		The aging prince being unmarried, the French Government sought the heir to the throne of Monaco among the prince's affairs.

		Charlotte Louvet (1898-1977), legitimated, given the surname of Grimaldi, and the title of Duchesse de Valentinois by ordinance of Prince Albert I in 1919, was recognized as Hereditary Princess of Monaco at her grandfather's death in 192250.
		Prince Rainier of Monaco is thus a 22nd generation descendant of Francesco I Gattilusio, founder of the Lesbian Gattilusii dynasty.
		Note that both the title Prince Louis II granted to his (illegitimate and legitimated) daughter ("Duchesse de Valentinois") and the title Prince Rainier III granted to his sister and her descendants ("Baronne de Massy") are among these twenty-two titles.

		The then Hereditary Prince, in the absense of an heir, adopted and acknowledged her as his child to prevent the German Duke of Urach (despite being born and raised in Monaco) from ascending the throne.
		IMHO, the worst thing for Monaco would be for Caroline or one of her spoiled selfish brats to inherit the throne unless it was Pierre.
		He was created a Prince of Monaco with the style Serene Highness, as well as having his name changed to Grimaldi.
