A drop of royalty in SoCal

Does a girl get to be Princess if her father is a real life Prince who had a fling with her mom? That's what they're asking in Palm Springs, where 14-year-old Jazmin Grace Rotolo lives. Her mother dallied with Prince Albert during a trip to Monaco in 1991 and today the Prince, Albert Alexandre Louis Pierre Grimaldi, acknowledged that yes, the girl is his. She's the Prince's second out-of-wedlock child — that we know of. The guy obviously likes to ride bareback. (via LA Observed).

We're not sure that Jazmin is a princessly name. Then again, his parents named him (NSFW) Prince Albert.

Wasn't the first case deemed a hoax? The child was not his afterall. Seems like they keep throwing a red herrings out there to cover something up...

While there may have been a hoax, there was one confirmed and acknowledged love child before Jazmin. From the ABC News report (linked above): "In July 2005, he admitted he was the father of a 3-year-old boy named Alexandre. Bombshell Nicole Coste, a former flight attendant, fell in love with Monaco's heir in 1997, after meeting him on a flight. Photos of Prince Albert holding the tot during visits to Coste's Paris apartment graced the magazine Paris Match, inciting the prince to come clean."
