Hi, if you mean me or my blog by "the reporter", the term "historic" was used by the Palace in their confirmation, I used the exact description they used and they stressed that the set is historic and belongs to the House of Grimaldi, If it was my own assumption I would have stated so. I'm quite surprised that this design is "historic", too, but I guess the Palace knows better!
