It was in a festive atmosphere at the final that Prince Albert II had a conversation with Donald Trump, the 47th US President since his official inauguration on 20 January this year.
A picture of the meeting was published on the Facebook page of Monaco’s Embassy in Washington. It shows Prince Albert II smiling next to Trump and Mike Powers, an American-born Monegasque.
The caption reads “H.S.H. Prince Albert II of #Monaco and President Donald Trump @potus catch up during Super Bowl week, celebrating their shared love for sports and camaraderie!”
The Philadelphia Eagles won the 59th Super Bowl, beating the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22, their third finals defeat in a row, on a memorable evening.
Donald Trump is the first US President to attend a Super Bowl, appearing briefly on the pitch before making his way to his box along with his daughter Ivanka and son Eric.
Representing the Prince’s Foundation
While in New Orleans, the Monegasque Sovereign also joined Olivier Wenden, Vice-President and CEO of the Fondation Prince Albert II de Monaco, in the 9th arrondissement. The visit took place on the same weekend as the Super Bowl, as part of a long-standing commitment to climate and water resilience, crucial issues for a city that is constantly having to contend with the impact of climate change.
Almost two decades after the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, the Fondation Prince Albert II de Monaco’s commitment is undiminished. “Prince Albert II… returned to witness the ongoing resilience of the community and the work being done to address climate and water challenges—issues central to the @fondationprincealbert2 mission,” said Olivier Wenden on social media.
