March 2020. As the Covid-19 pandemic spreads around the world, public figures are beginning to announce that they too have not been spared. On March 19, we learned that a head of state was hit for the first time in Monaco. In a press release, the Prince's Palace announces that “Prince Albert II of Monaco, who had been tested earlier this week, is positive for Covid-19. ” The press release also specifies: “The Sovereign Prince is closely followed by his attending physician and specialists from the Princess Grace Hospital Center (CHPG). Prince Albert continues to work from the office of his private apartments; he is in permanent contact with the members of his cabinet, his government as well as with his closest collaborators. " On March 23, Albert from Monaco also wanted to be reassuring at RTL's microphone. A few days later, it was Prince Charles, son of Queen Elizabeth II of England, who was affected by the coronavirus. The two princes had the opportunity to meet on March 10 at an event organized by the NGO WaterAid in London. But Albert of Monaco was not the only member of the Grimaldi dynasty to be affected: his daughter, Jazmin Grace Grimaldi, was also affected.
