Prince Albert of Monaco is expected to acknowledge he is the father of a 14-year-girl born in Riverside County to a woman he had a fling with in Europe in 1991, according to a couple of French newspapers. (And now Albert himself.) The Desert Sun in Palm Springs says that a 1992 birth certificate filed in Riverside County names Albert Alexandre Louis Pierre Grimaldi of Monaco as the father of a girl born to Tamara Rotolo. Her photo was splashed across the front page of today's Le Parisien.
