Albert II of Monaco, the unknown prince is a documentary with intimate Prince Albert, diffused by 40 TV channels all over the world.

This 52-minute-long film is a documentary made in 2005 on Prince Albert II of Monaco who had always turned down requests for interviews and coverage of his life.

For eight months, he has been filmed as he carried out his public duties and conducted his private life. In it he shows around the palace, plays in a friendly football match, also behind-the-scenes preparations of the Red Cross Gala evening, gives an access on his private jet as he flies to New York to address the General Assembly of the United Nations, jogging in central Park, shopping for DVDs in the Big Apple, etc.

There are also some moments of father and son, filmed just three months before Prince Rainier died. Beyond these pictures, the Prince spoke 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 Princess Stephanie's past problems, his plans for the future, and other topics.
