Prince Albert on Ice

Where: Monaco
April 17, 2006 at 5:49 AM | by | Comments (0)

Prince Albert II, Grace Kelly's son, had evidently tired of the race cars, casinos, and rich old people cluttering up his native Monaco. His Serene Highness has just finished a successful trip to the North Pole, setting out from a camp about 60 miles away. It's a safe bet he didn't plan the trip using reviews on the Thorn Tree. The prince took along frozen meals made in superchef Alain Ducasse's kitchen, which sure beats reindeer jerky.

On the other hand, he was no stranger to this cold-weather thing -- he represented Monaco on the Bobsleigh team at the past five Winter Olympics. Albert planned the trip to raise awareness of the dangers of global warming. And also the danger of polar bears eating European royalty.
