The pair went fishing in Siberia,which intrigued me a lot - an unlikely duo?
I remembered reading about the supermodel Karen Mulder accusing Albert of rape and of being used as a sex slave on French TV(the show was cancelled).She became depressive,tried suicide but survived.
Any information around about any of this?:confused:

From wikipedia: "n 2001, she made a series of explosive claims while suffering from obvious stress. She alleged she and other girls were used as sex slaves by senior figures in the police and French government. She also filed a rape complaint in France against Prince Albert of Monaco.

On October 31, 2001, Karen claimed during a taping of the French channel France 2 show “Tout le Monde en Parle” (Everyone is Talking About It) hosted by Thierry Ardisson, and with a live audience in the studio, that various people, including top executives at her former agency, Elite, and Prince Albert of Monaco, had tried to rape her. Moreover, Mulder said that her own father had hypnotized her from the age of two and then raped her.

The producers of the show deemed her emotionally unstable and did not broadcast the interview. Not only was the show never aired, but the entire recording was erased.

Days later, she repeated her allegations, this time to a weekly magazine in an interview conducted in her Paris apartment. Within hours of the interview, her sister Saskia arrived and took her to Villa Montsouris, a psychiatric hospital specializing in such disorders as depression, anxiety, and delirium, where Karen stayed for more than three months. The stay reportedly was paid for by Elite models president Gerald Marie, an old friend of hers. Her father later publicly blamed her troubles on drugs.

In later interviews, she said that those close to her were refusing to acknowledge that she had been sexually abused by an old family friend, now dead, when she was 2 years old. Karen had repressed the incident for years but had pieced it back together in psychoanalysis after she quit modeling. She said it was the explanation for her teenage battle with anorexia, her excitable moods, and her constant flights between laughter and tears.

Yet no one believed her. Feeling increasingly isolated, she finally broke down. "It seemed everyone was against me," she later remembered about this period. "People told me I was fantasizing, that my psychoanalysis was wrong. So in order to be heard, I exaggerated. And I went overboard." Since then, she has recanted the rape allegations she made to the press and apologized to Prince Albert. But she continued to insist that she was sexually abused as a child.

On December 11, 2002, after suffering for years from chronic depression, Karen Mulder went into a coma after she overdosed on sleeping pills in an apparent attempt to take her own life. She had made no attempt to save herself and had seemed determined only to end a life haunted by mental breakdown, drug-taking, and alleged rape. She left no note. She was rushed to the American Hospital in Neuilly after neighbors found her passed out on the floor of the Paris apartment on exclusive Avenue Montaigne where she was staying with friends. Mulder's parents flew from the Netherlands to be by her side along with former fiancé Jean-Yves le Fur. Le Fur was reportedly one of the people who found Mulder unconscious after arriving at the apartment after Mulder had not answered several telephone calls of his.

She awoke from her coma the next day."
