Among his engagements was a speech about protecting the environment in the 21st century, given during a visit to the USA cultural center “Amerikahaus” (American House). The event was organized by the American German Business Club, the Foreign Affairs Association, the Bavarian-American Center at Amerika Haus, Wirtschaftsjunioren München and the HSG Alumni Club München International.
Prince Albert has long been known as a staunch advocate of environmental concerns, spoke about. His Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation supports environmental projects in three main areas: climate change, biodiversity and water use.
After a day’s work, Prince Albert took time to relax and stop by the 175th Oktoberfest, Munich’s most famous festival, where beer, of course, was the main attraction.

We were in a fancy restaurant called Käfer and we had a private room adjoining theirs’- sounds very fancy but it was all very low key- met them on their way to the mens’ room.
We chatted for a bout twenty minutes as we waited. It was our driver around Frankfurt and Munich who told us who they were.
Two really lovely, decent, respectful and well-mannered gents- totally unpretentious and keen not to be noticed.
That must have been very exciting for you, to meet the two princes!
Best wishes to two excellent gentlemen. HRH Albert and HRH Leopold are two warm, genuine, amicable gentlemen who are both respected and admired for their tireless charitable works, whom I have distinct pleasure of meeting in Munchen.
Haber die Ehre!
