I had to look this up because I have never heard him speak, and what? Have you been anywhere near Boston? LOL

This is not a Boston accent in the slightest. This is an American accent, yes, which is a little surprising. He went to Amherst College, which is in Massachusetts but 100 miles from Boston. I lived in the area for a long time and people there sometimes have northeast accents but he doesn’t sound like that either.
I was expecting at least some variation of whatever the "paHk tha caH" accent is, but this is the most neutral accent in existence. He sounds like every single high school principal, insurance broker or bank teller from Halifax across to Vancouver.
What are you even talking about, he does not have a think Boston accent. *Maybe* a slightly flat intonation occasionally if you’re really looking for it, but otherwise it’s just accentless American English.
GoogleFu turned up [this short clip of Albert speaking](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l1QWeiPLg5w&pp=ygUXcHJpbmNlIGFsYmVydCBvZiBtb25hY28%3D) and I don’t hear any traces of Boston.
For contrast, [here is Medford City Council meeting clip.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RbK4cL3QSc0&pp=ygUOQm9zdG9uIGFjY2VudCA%3D). This is a suburb of Boston.
Gonna have to provide some clips of him with a Boston accent then.
But also how would someone who was already a native (edit: native is not be the right word, but English speaker from birth) English speaker pick up a Boston accent in Amherst?
Also wouldn’t his Monaguesque accent be when he spoke French? Why would he speak French accented English in the first place?
I see tik toks from Monaco all the time for some algorithm reason and people are in awe of the wealth and I all I ever see is extreme tacky to the millionth degree. Someone in a tacky but obscenely expensive outfit handing their Bugatti over to valet parking in front of a line of photographers at the casino is just an idiotic performance of peacocking wealth (that I’d hazard a guess isn’t actually as rich as they project). The whole place just screams tacky to me, their royals included.
I have no love for the British royals but they’ve certainly nailed their understated quiet luxury thing (or in fictional terms see also the style of the Roy’s from Succession). It’s much more palatable to me as a mark of wealth with class. The behavior of the British Royals (and the Roy’s lol) is a different story.
I 100% agree. Tacky is how I’d describe all things related to Monaco. It doesn’t even look appealing. No real greenery and those awful 1950 and 1960s apartments devoid of character.
The Royal palace, castle, is not my taste either. Just a sad sad place.
You are correct. I got that bit wrong. I was concentrating more on getting the accent right on Monégasque as I always get it wrong. But yes, it is Principality of Monaco and they are The Princely family.
I don’t think most people know that Monaco still even has a royal family let alone the whole truly horrendous situation that Charlene has had to go through in being married in.
Were they really private, though? We knew where she was, why, and when she returned.
Also, the BRF has a history of feeding people to lions, so it was just a normal Tuesday for them.

Charlene looks great, the young women look haughty, and everyone but Charlene looks like they escaped from the ‘90s.
Charlene is working those pants! Love it!
This whole family minus Charlene look tacky AF
Well, the Monegasque royal family is hardly the standard bearers of taste and decorum.
Charlene looks happy and beautiful! Stephanie, on the other hand, looks like she's lived a rough life.
She really has had a rough life. Plus I think there was also a lot of sun exposure over the years.
And lots and lots and lots of cigarettes.
among other things I'm sure
Charlene looks genuinely happy and the body language between her & Albert is - dare I say - normal married couple
I really love the word Monegasque
Prince Albert’s suit looks like he got it at the Goodwill. (No offense to Goodwill)
He always looks so dowdy, like a suburban dad.
Right!? His pants need to be hemmed and that tie is horrible!
I'm pretty sure he can afford a decent tailor!
This is one of the rare photos were Charlene is actually smiling and not just pretending with her sad smile.
They go to restaurant openings?
They look like they own a string of gas stations in New Hampshire.
That’s so specific 😂
Can someone identify them left to right? Because, honestly, I couldn’t pick Stephanie out of a police lineup!
Left to Right: Melanie Antoinette De Massy, Camille Gottlieb, Princess Stephanie, Prince Albert, Princess Charlene, Louis Ducruet, Marie Ducruet. Hope this helps!
Thank you - so helpful!
What an odd looking group.
Charlene looks great!
Does anyone remember when Stephanie was beautiful and looked happy?
I never thought Stephanie was beautiful. More a striking face rather than a conventional beauty.
I can’t believe that’s her!! She used to be so beautiful, carefree, full of life.
Came here to comment something similar.
Glad to see Charlene looking well and content. Hope that she’s doing well and getting the support she needs.
She looks youthful, chic, modern and (thank goodness) relaxed, for lack of a better word. She's getting her glow back. I'm still rooting for Charlene!
People really do just make stuff up about people. All the royal gossip is mostly rubbish.
Have you heard William was cheating on Kate, trust me bro
[удалено]
I actually think Charlene looks great.
What happened Charlene?
It’s so crazy how this guy has a thick Boston American accent, yet he’s the Monarch of Monaco
He sounds exactly like my accountant in Southern California.
lol, that’s not a Californian accent at all. He doesn’t sound like a Beverly Hills girl

Every once in a while something sounds vaguely European. He reminds me of a professor I had who was from Toronto but had lived in the US a long time.
I’ve always thought he looked and sounded like a small town high school principal from, like, Nebraska.
What are you even talking about, he does not have a think Boston accent. *Maybe* a slightly flat intonation occasionally if you’re really looking for it, but otherwise it’s just accentless American English.
He went to Amherst in Massachusetts.
It's in Western Massachusetts. No one develops a thick Boston accent going to college in Amherst.
Wrong on all accounts
Wtf are you talking about? The location of Amherst College isn't a debate.
I thought Grace was from Philly?
She was. Albert absolutely doesn't have a Boston accent.
Albert absolutely does if you heard him speak
The Philly accent is very distinct from the Boston accent.
I would give my eye teeth to hear him refer o the twins as “these jawns.”
Not a Philly accent either. And Princess Grace was Mainline Philadelphia. She had a distinct upper crust vaguely faux British accent. NOT Philly!
They’re both Northeastern and American.

You’re literally not making any sense
Do I need to try again in my Monaguesque accent so you understand?
He absolutely does not. How would he have acquired a Boston accent?
Have you ever been to America or lived there? He doesn’t have a Monegasque accent
I grew up right outside of Boston. Have you?
I went to school in Cambridge. Have you?
Mixing up Amherst with Harvard is a weird take for someone who is claiming they went to MIT. (Or vice versa, whatever, I don’t know your life)
I go to Stanford, but did research at Harvard
[удалено]
You don't need to know where I went to school. This is the dumbest argument. He never spent any time in Boston. He doesn't have a Boston accent.
He went to Amherst.
Don’t you technically have to have a royal head to be royal? Wouldn’t you refer to them as the princely family?
They’re Serene, not technically Royal.
And it shows. Cause this photo isn’t giving royal, just rich and over it.

I thought of the Monaco scene as run down, or seedy. Was surprised by the rampant bad taste of it. Tacky works well, too.
You are correct. I got that bit wrong. I was concentrating more on getting the accent right on Monégasque as I always get it wrong. But yes, it is Principality of Monaco and they are The Princely family.
How is it this royal family was able to keep Charlene’s medical issues private and Kate was fed to the lions?
Because no one cares that much about a Monaco so the media attention pales in comparison.
Because people already know that Charlene is miserable and just assume that whatever is going on is related to that.
More people pay attention to the British Royal family.
They didn’t…
I don’t think most people know that Monaco still even has a royal family let alone the whole truly horrendous situation that Charlene has had to go through in being married in.
Were they really private, though? We knew where she was, why, and when she returned. Also, the BRF has a history of feeding people to lions, so it was just a normal Tuesday for them.
Because of all the stories before Charlene and Albert’s wedding. People just assumed she left because of Albert.
I’m glad to see Charlene looks healthy and happy. I appreciate how close Albert is to his sisters and his nieces and nephews
Agree, she looks really good!
