Earlier this month, Prince Albert admitted in a candid interview with Graham Bensinger that public appearances can be difficult for him. He explained, "I consider myself a private person most of the time so it's hard to perform in a very public situation and have to do of course public appearances and speeches and depending on what it is and what the situation is." Though he noted that he gets to meet "great people."

Albert added, “Even at a younger age you kind of try and figure your way around [and] at a later stage in life then it becomes a little tedious, but there are things you have to do and you have to sort of grin and bear it and push forward.”
