WORDS OF WISDOM IN MONACO
HM : What kind of impression did she make on you ?
KP : Just beautiful . Beautiful inside and out . HM : Do you have a role-model ?
KP : Funny thing is that this morning , I ’ m at my desk getting my papers together , and I couldn ’ t believe it , this picture pops up next to me . It ’ s a picture of Princess Grace taking up filming . And I was like : « Wow ! This is a sign ». She has been a role-model because I feel like she was always such an amazing person and I feel like if I could do something for my country , I ’ m here for it . Another reason that Princess Grace is my role-model is that when I had my baby at 16 , she offered to be the godmother and I felt a lot of support from her .
HM : What do you like the most about Monaco ?
KP : I love Monaco because I love the small country that it is , the Principality that it is . I love being on the sea , I love being surrounded by the mountains . I love that we ’ re working so much on the environment , that our Prince is involved and really wanting to make a difference . It ’ s a challenge in Monaco , but there ’ s so many people now , with the government included , getting involved together
