The problem is only skin-deep, says Prince Albert of Monaco, trying to allay rumors that his sister Princess Caroline lost her hair because of a serious illness.
"It's a skin problem, a dermatology thing. It's nothing serious, and her hair will grow back. Other than that, she's fine," he said in the latest issue of People magazine.His other sister, Princess Stephanie, filed for divorce recently after European magazines ran photos of her husband frolicking with Miss Nude Belgium.
"This will pass," the prince said, "and we will make it as a family to the anniversary celebrations."
On Jan. 8, the Grimaldi family will mark the 700th anniversary of its rule.
