THE OTHER ROYAL WEDDING IN MONACO

That is what the world press has tagged the beautiful wedding ceremony between Prince Albert II of Monaco & his beautiful wife- Princess Charlene nee Wittstock, the groom is 56 years old and is the reigning Prince of the principality of Monaco, a tax free haven in France, while the beautiful bride at 33 years old is a former one-time Olympic swimmer from South Africa, and this brings to an end the very long wait for a new Princess, as many had tagged the Monaco Ruler an International Playboy.
