Albert II

Albert II is the reigning Prince of Monaco. He is currently newsworthy due to hosting Pope Leo XIV in Monaco on March 28, 2026. This visit marks the first official papal visit to the principality in over half a millennium. During the visit, Pope Leo XIV addressed global issues from the Prince's Palace, focusing on social justice and the growing gap between the rich and poor. Prince Albert II also delivered a speech alongside the Pope. The event is significant as it highlights Monaco's role as a Catholic nation and provides a platform for addressing global social and economic inequalities.
