The "12th International Monte Carlo Jumping" race tournament organized by Prince Albert II and Princess Caroline of Hanover in Cannes, where Charlotte took part in the competition alongside other top riders in the industry last weekend. In the award ceremony for the most successful participants, an attractive young man between her and Caroline of Monaco, 60, takes place. Surprise: It is Dimitri Rassam, 35, the new friend of Charlotte. During the day, he had seen his beloved with his ride in the prestigious competition of the grandstand. A little love sensation!

Not even the dog-days at the beginning of July were able to motivate Monca's princes to make new trips to the ice.

Deriving drinking water in an ecological way for humanitarian and private purposes: from his base in Monaco, one inventor is trying to make the world a slightly better place. In this regard, his purpose matches Monaco’s.
