Poor woman was apparently told that as soon as she produced a legitimate heir, she could have a divorce.
Marriage of convenience or what?

I suppose the concept of his n her's hotels is intended as a statement to those of us who can barely afford his n her's washbasins !

I wonder what Jeremy Kyle would say? LOL

According to paper today - the honeymoon has been cut short as His Nibs has to have two DNA tests. That the happy couple certainly spent the first night of their nuptials in separate HOTELS.

Poor woman, how awful for her, just found this when I googled.

(He is 53 to her 33.)



Prince Albert of Monaco’s wedding rocked by claims that bride tried to flee
Prince Albert of Monaco has been forced to issue a public statement after claims that his fiancée tried to leave him days before their wedding after learning of his third illegitimate child.


The royal family dismissed reports that Charlene Wittstock had tried to flee to South Africa, where she grew up.

The claims appear to have originated in the French news magazine L'Express.

In an article headlined “Albert-Charlene: Marriage in Peril” and published on its website, the magazine claimed Miss Wittstock, a former Olympic swimmer, had been upset to hear a new revelation about her future husband.

A lawyer for Prince Albert vigorously denied the claims, described the story as “madness” and added: “Everything is false.”

The allegations emerged just two days before the three-day celebrations for the wedding are to start. They are expected to cost around £50million.

The guest list includes Naomi Campbell, the model, the businessman Philip Green, Richard Branson, the entrepreneur, and Giorgio Armani, the fashion designer.

Dozens of royal guests will also attend, including the Earl and Countess of Wessex.

A statement from the palace said: “The Prince's Palace firmly denies the allegations.

“These rumours, spread a few days before the wedding ceremonies of His Serene Highness Prince Albert and Miss Charlene Wittstock, have only one purpose - to seriously damage the Sovereign's image and by consequence that of Miss Wittstock and to cause serious prejudice to a happy event.”

Prince Albert's lawyer, Thierry Lacoste, confirmed he would be taking legal action against the French publication and added: “I was with the Prince and Charlene Wittstock in Paris three days ago, and I can promise you that all is well.”

Sad thing is that this was being discussed on This Morning today and apparently the papers are all saying the bride tried to make a break for it three times and cried all the way though the weding.

What I found more interesting is that apparently Prince Albert is in the same position as his father was in 1955 - that if he did not produce a legitimate heir within a specified time - France can take back the prinicpality of Monaco.

Hi Robin, think you have hit the nail on the head.

However, hardly expected him to get to his age with no history of children born the wrong side of the blanket.

Of course it's a love match.

He loves her youth .............. and she loves his money !

I wouldn't like to speculate on whether it is a love match or not; but, I think I would have tried to do a runner to - if Nicolas Sarkozy had been invited to my wedding :-)

why whos get wed?

Just seen it on the new's and she didn't look to happy, not surprising with his history ( she must be mad )

Is it a love match?
