I am wondering why the prince's out of wedlock son is not in the running for the crown ?The child has been proven his and i don't think he has other children so i am wondering why he could never be on the throne.

Prince Albert has never married and is still considered one of the world's most eligible bachelors. Albert assumed royal powers on the death of his father, and was sworn in as Monaco's head of state on 12 July 2005. That same month, Albert admitted publicly that he was the father of a two-year-old son born out of wedlock to Nicole Coste, a flight attendant the prince had met on an Air France flight in 1997. In 2006 Albert admitted he also had a daughter, the result of a romantic liason with an American waitress, Tamara Rotolo, in 1991.
Albert's son with Coste, named Alexandre, was born in August of 2003. His child with Rotolo, named Jazmin Grace, was born on 4 March 1992. Neither child is in line for the throne of Monaco, as the principality's constitution states that only "direct and legitimate" descendants are considered legal royal heirs.
Hope this answers your question. Goodluck!

Because Prince Albert has him locked in a can.

Because he is illegitimate and only legitimate heirs can rule unless there is nobody else. Sucks but thems the rules.
