9 Africans Who Define Royalty, Wealth and Power
Alexandre Eric Stephane
Alexandre Eric Stephane’s father Albert II may be the Prince of Monaco, but he’ll never be in line for the crown. Neither will he ever bear the family name. That was established by the dynasty soon after his mother, Nicole Coste, a native of Togo in West Africa, broke the news of his existence in a French tabloid. According to Monaco’s constitution, any children born out of wedlock are considered illegitimate. However, Albert II has said that Alexandre and his three other children would be taken care of financially.
