"Playboy Prince" Albert has less play time these days now that he's the ruler of Monaco, but he's not complaining.

"Obviously, with the main responsibility of being head of state and having to lead your country is a pretty heavy responsibility, and I'm aware of that, but I don't think it's changed me at all," he told "Good Morning America" in an interview broadcast today.

After decades of waiting on the sidelines, the 47-year-old bachelor was sworn in on July 12 as the top dog of the principality of Monaco. The prince has declared he wants to lead his tiny, sun-drenched Riviera territory with a focus on ethics and honesty, starting with himself. In early July, he admitted fathering an illegitimate son.
