O'REILLY: "Back of the Book" segment tonight, the principality of Monaco between France and Italy is one of the wealthiest places on earth.
American movie star Grace Kelly married into the royal family in 1956.
Before dying in a car accident in '82, Princess Grace gave birth to three children, all of whom have, well, led colorful lives.
Her son, Prince Albert, is now running Monaco and apparently has got two out of wedlock children, one of whom is a 14-year-old California girl.
The prince is not married.
Joining us now from Las Vegas is Robin Leach. He follows this kind of story for AOL.com.
I'm not getting the old joke Prince Albert in the can. Apparently, he's out of the can, because he's got two out-of-wedlock children, and the one in California is a waitress. The mother is a waitress? Is that what's going on?
ROBIN LEACH, AOL.COM: Indeed. The girl is a 14-year-old teenager who attends school and sings to the Barry Manilow because he's a resident nearby. The other child is a 3-year-old son who is allegedly living in Paris. He's sewn his wild oats over the years. He's has swapped (ph) through the modeling scene in Los Angeles, New York, London and especially Paris.
O'REILLY: All right. So he basically is a playboy?
LEACH: He was always a playboy prince, and I think that at this moment in time, now that he has inherited the throne and, thus, the kingdom, that he has begun not only to clean up his act but also the act of Monaco itself.
O'REILLY: Now Stephanie and Caroline have also had lots of troubled relationships and lots of scandal. Is there a thread that you see? Were they raised properly? Was it the mother's early death? What do you think?
LEACH: I don't know if it was Grace Kelly's death. I think just living in the fish bowl of royalty, or alleged royalty in Monaco is a task unto itself.
But there is no question that this family was totally dysfunctional, and as I've often said, their real lives could feel 100 pages of script from "Days of Our Lives" or any other soap opera that we have on daytime television.
Stephanie, her loves and marriages failed. She's now supposedly married to a dud of a prince from Belgium who is the black sheep of that particular family. So they've never found happiness.
Stephanie, as you know, dropped the name princess, her title, when she moved to Las Angeles and became a budding show business star. She was at least report married for the third time to a Portuguese circus acrobat, but there is no confirmation that that marriage is still in place.
O'REILLY: Yes. People, they're fabulously wealthy, wealth stemming from the middle ages. I understand the mafia, Corsicans and Sicilians, bought up a lot of property in Monaco.
LEACH: And the Russian mafia.
O'REILLY: Yes. Fabulously high real estate prices there. Yet the family itself is just one thing after another. So, money can't buy happiness. Is that the theme of Monaco, Mr. Leach?
LEACH: I think it might be, Mr. O'Reilly. But there's something else. And I don't know whether we believe these things, but they've always said that this family was cursed from the get-go.
You have to remember that their real name is Grimaldi. They were pirates that date back to the 12th and 13th century who sort of commandeered this block of rock that is no larger than half the size of Central Park in New York. And ever since they took quotes to the throne they've been plagued with bad luck. And that's continued right to today.
And now Prince Albert is carrying on the tradition.
O'REILLY: Here he goes. Robin Leach everyone. Thanks very much, Robin.
As always, we appreciate it. And next we'll wrap things up with "The Most Ridiculous Item of the Day" and some of your mail.

Beauty news, fashion trends and Sienna Miller's late-night makeup trick.
instyle
Pretty and polished, the ladylike bun (think Grace Kelly) has taken over the red carpet. According to N.Y.C. stylist Harry Josh, who has worked with Reese Witherspoon and Sarah Jessica Parker: "Subtle nuances can make buns classy or cool. Part your hair on the side and slick it back to create a sharp, elegant look," he says. "Or, if you prefer to wear a slightly messy, sexier bun, you can get away with pulling out a few stray wisps of hair around the face--just be sure not to overdo it."

Royals: Crown Jewels Gorgeous, down-to-earth and growing up fast, the next generation of Grimaldis do grandmother Princess Grace proud;
People 11-13-2000
Attention, Hollywood! The royal grandkids of a certain '50s film
legend are growing up--and boy, have they got Grandma's glorious
genes. Any of Princess Caroline's three oldest--Andrea Albert
Pierre, 16, Charlotte Marie Pomeline, 14, and Pierre Rainier
Stefano, 13--would illuminate the silver screen. (Because dad
Stefano Casiraghi was a commoner, they don't have titles.) Not
that they have expressed a desire to follow in grandmother Grace
Kelly's footsteps. (She died in 1982, two years before Andrea was
born.) For now, there are too many other things to keep them
busy: soccer, horseback riding, listening to pop music and
hitting the books.
The three attend school near their new manor house outside Paris,
a 90-minute plane trip from Monaco, the principality ruled by
"Papy," Prince Rainier, 77. For breaks, they go home to a house
in Saint-Remy, France, their primary residence until last June;
to the Austrian estate of stepdad Prince Ernst August, 46; or to
their Monaco villa near Rainier's palace and the homes of uncle
Albert, 42, aunt Stephanie, 35, and cousins Louis, 7, Pauline, 6,
and Camille, 2. It's a privileged life, but the teens are by all
accounts charmingly unspoiled. "They don't act like royalty,"
says one pal. "They're just ordinary."
Credit goes to Caroline, 43, who shielded her brood from the
limelight by settling in Saint-Remy after Casiraghi's 1990 death
in a speedboat accident. Since January 1999 she has given the
children a stepfather who may be volatile but with whom they get
on well, plus a half sister, 16-month-old Alexandra. Oh yeah--Mom
can also throw a mean party. Last June Caroline invited her kids'
friends to a school's-out bash at an abandoned factory in
Provence. Afterward Andrea, Charlotte and Pierre spent the night
sleeping on the floor with 50 guests. Slumming? Not quite.
"They'd covered the broken windows with curtains and sparkling
lights," says a guest. "It looked like a castle."
PIERRE He "likes to joke around," says one of his friends, "to
make others laugh." That includes granddad Prince Rainier, who
was photographed playfully cuffing his grandson after the boy
pretended to smoke a cigarette at a Monte Carlo tennis match
last May. But Caroline's sporty younger boy takes soccer
seriously--so seriously, says a friend, that when he invited
pals over for a game two years ago "he'd gotten ahold of Monaco
[soccer] team gear for all of us to wear while we played. [Then]
we all spent the night. It was pretty cool."
CHARLOTTE Not so long ago she was a lively toddler known for
wreaking havoc in Monaco's ultrachic boutiques. Now Princess
Caroline's lookalike daughter likes shopping in them--although
for special occasions, family pal Karl Lagerfeld might whip up a
dress. "A kind girl" who's "very open to other kids," says one
of her former teachers, Charlotte also enjoys playing the piano
and hanging out with baby half sister Alexandra, whom she is
said to adore. Horseback riding is another passion. Since
starting riding lessons five years ago, Charlotte has progressed
enough to enter jump competitions in Saint-Remy and Monaco.
"She knows how to hold herself, how to sit properly," says a
friend. "She has class--like her grandmother."
ANDREA He made his first official public appearance at age 3,
clad in a royal guard's uniform and waving his white-gloved hand
from the balcony of Monaco's pink palace. Nowadays Princess
Caroline's firstborn favors skateboarder duds and puka beads, but
he's no tough teen. "He's gentle and sweet," says a friend. "A
lovely guy." And a guy who likes pool, African drum music--and,
one hopes, ruling small countries. As long as his uncle Prince
Albert has no children, Andrea follows his mom as third in line
of succession.

National Geographic
Monaco
A lunch at Monte Carlo's restaurant Le Saint Benoit confirms everything you have heard about the jet-set principality of Monaco. From your table on the restaurant's terrace you'll gaze out at a jewel-box harbor packed with oceangoing yachts, while behind you a boulevard lined with luxury apartments purrs with the motors of Ferraris and Bentleys. You already know that Monaco is a longtime playground for the super-rich-home of the fairy-tale couple Princess Grace and Prince Rainier, and a setting for more than one James Bond film-so this opulence isn't exactly a bombshell. Still, this tiny principality attracts up to six million visitors yearly, and not all are millionaires.
"Many tourists here, expecting to see only the casinos and nightclubs they've heard about, are surprised to learn of our brand-new Grimaldi Forum," notes Peter Murphy, the Monaco-based president of Festival Cruises. A massive, glass-pyramided complex with restaurants, concert halls for the Opera and Ballets de Monte-Carlo, and a self-proclaimed "state-of-the-art conference center for the third millennium," the forum will soon be joined by a new hotel and garden complex that will further update Monaco's profile.
New is good for business, but Monaco still does well by its traditional attractions, from the lavish 19th-century Casino de Monte Carlo, to the cathedral-which houses the tombs of Princess Grace and members of the Grimaldi family, rulers of the principality since its founding in 1297-to the prince's palace compound and the Museum of Antique Automobiles, Rainier's colletion of vintage vehicles.
It may be this mix of avant-garde with tradition that best sums up this vest-pocket territory's appeal. Certainly one visitor has become a big fan. "I adore Monaco," says fashion model Adriana Karembeu. "It is a piece of jewelry for me, something you do not find anywhere else."

EDITOR'S NOTE: A FACE FOR THE AGES; JAY LOVINGER MANAGING EDITOR
Life 11-01-1997
Who was she, really? Vulnerable and trusting plaything of cold
and self-absorbed men, or self-resurrecting feminist role model?
World-class consumer, or charitable saint? Innocent victim of a
voracious press, or shrewd and effective coconspirator? A little
of each? Even though we didn't know, that didn't stop us from
putting her on the cover 13 times (14, if you count this issue).
In July 1981, Philip B. Kunhardt Jr., the first managing editor
of the monthly LIFE, described the royal marriage as "an
absolutely exquisite love story." Of course, it turned out to be
anything but, as Kunhardt ruefully notes: "When Grace Kelly got
married, everybody around me at LIFE was very cynical and said
it wouldn't last. But I made a bet that it would last forever. I
made the same bet about Di and Charles, and I lost that one."
Princess Diana always broke the mold. Perhaps that's why the
camera loved this woman as it has loved no other.
