MONACO -- Prince Albert has taken over the regency of Monaco because his ailing father is unable to exercise his royal functions, the palace says.
Thursday's announcement gave no updates on the health of Prince Rainier, 82, who is being treated in hospital for breathing, kidney and heart problems.
A royal commission, the Council of the Crown, decided that it was difficult for Rainier to "exercise his high functions," the statement from the palace said.
