Well, gosh, why not try to cut a record? Sounds like a giggle, but no joke, Monaco's Princess Stephanie now has a modest hit record in Europe. Stephanie reports that her latest career turn "came about completely by accident" when a friend at a recording studio casually suggested that she try a voice test.
