This exclusive 52 minute-long film is the only documentary ever made with full approval and cooperation of Prince Albert, who, while often being in the news, had always turned down requests for interviews and coverage of his life. Until now. For eight months, we were given permission to be with him, as he carried out his public duties and conducted his private life in Monaco, France and abroad. In ?Albert of Monaco?, we follow the Prince as he shows us around the palace, plays in a friendly football match, with his sister Princess Stephanie looking on, and takes us to a training session of the Monaco football squad at the Louis II stadium. We bring you behind-the-scenes preparations for the one of the world?s most glittering jet-set occasions, the Red Cross Gala evening, and coverage of the event itself, Prince Albert gives us unique access on his private jet as he flies to New York to address the General Assembly of the United Nations. The New York shoot also features activities at the U.N., jogging in central Park, shopping for DVD?s in the Big Apple, an evening with a famous jeweller, a trip to Monaco?s consulate and much more. We also accompany the Prince to Strasbourg to mark Monaco?s membership of the Council of Europe and to Paris for a medal ceremony. There are also some exceptional moments of father and son, filmed just three months before Prince Rainier died, scenes that only we were allowed to film. Beyond these exclusive pictures, the Prince spoke to us freely and at length in a wide-ranging interview on many issues; from the rumours about his alleged homosexuality to claims that Monaco is a money-laundering centre. On his family. his father?s bad temper, his memories of his late mother Princess Grace, his sister Stephanie?s problems, his plans for the future, and other topics. And throughout the documentary, punctuating our coverage, the Prince answers, in both French and English, to the many off-the-cuff questions about the activities being filmed
