Sharon Stone and Prince Albert in monaco

Sharon Stone says she’s long been good friends with Prince Albert, the roguish head of Monaco’s Princely House of Grimaldi. Perhaps that’s one reason the Hollywood star accompanied Albert to not one, but two, gala events in the past week — making herself the target of questions about the health of Albert’s marriage to his long-absent wife, Princess Charlene. Stone, 63, dressed up in designer gowns to accompany Albert, also 63, to the Monte Carlo Gala for Planetary Health on Sept. 23 and to the premiere for the new James Bond film, “No Time to Die,” on Monday night.
