Just a quick question. I'm just wondering why Prince Albert is still called Prince. Since he took the throne after his father should he not be called King?

If you are referring to Prince Albert of Monaco, it is because the country is a Principality not a Kingdom. Liechtenstein is also a principality, while Luxembourg is a Grand Duchy, and Andorra is a co-principality. The rulers of none of these countries is titled "king." |

In German a distinction is made between Prince, the son of a ruler, which is Prinz, and Prince, the ruler of a state, which is Fuerst, but in English and French the same word is used for both.

Today is Prince Albert's 50th Birthday. Happy Birthday Albert and if Father Tucker were still alive he would have had a very special message for you.

Does anyone know if Charlene is Catholic or is she attending the RCIA program for conversion?

Where is she now? Charlene. Off planning another grande surprise appearance? SHe has laid low for over a week now which means something bigger is in store. This is how they have been doing this for a while. Does anyone know if she ever trained this year? I saw many pictures of her travelling around with PA and drinking champagne and such .. nothing like an athlete would have been doing. The Beijing Olympics are underway and is she in them? This would have been her last year.

I don't remember where I read it, but I do recall seeing an article that stated she had injured or reinjured her shoulder (I believe). Thus, she would not be in training depending on the type of injury. If that's the case, there is lots of time for socializing. Again, I have to go back to my question. Is she Catholic or going thru the conversion process. That takes a whole year in the Catholic church usually ending during the Easter season.
