Monaco Prince Lands in Hospital after NYC Nightclub Fight

Turns out that royals can be as scrappy as the next guy as Prince Pierre of Monaco landed himself in the hospital following a brawl in a New York City nightclub.

Prince Pierre Casiraghi, 24, of Monaco, the grandson of Grace Kelly, got into a bit of a tiff with Adam Hock, the former owner of Hawaiian Tropic.

The brawl went down at Double Seven in the Meatpacking District and involved Paris Hilton's ex, Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos.

The fight was significant enough that it landed the prince in the hospital with "deep cuts and blood everywhere," a witness tells The New York Post.

The source added that the prince "looked like he needed plastic surgery" following the scuffle.

Hock was at the club with a group who said that the prince and his entourage "were being completely obnoxious."
