Princess Grace's Son to Marry -- Prince Albert's Wedding Date Set
A Monaco Prince Takes an African Bride
Prince Albert II isn't like mere mortal men, he is in charge of overseeing a principality of people. With such responsibility comes ruling protocols and expectations, as a prince's wedding day isn't really just his own. He can't wrap everything up in one nice neat ceremony like average folk, it takes two. Prince Albert's famous mother Princess Grace learned this herself, when she left her throne in Hollywood to become Prince Rainier's bride back in 1956.
Deceased Princess Grace of Monaco: Grace's son to take a bride
You remember Princess Grace of Monaco? Grace Kelly was her maiden name. She was a member of a wealthy family from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who became a leading and talented Hollywood actress. Princess Grace was a classical beautiful who got swept away from the glitter of bright lights by Prince Rainier while at Cannes one year, marrying him in April of 1956 and thereby ending her film career.
Grace bore Rainier three children: Caroline, Stephanie and Albert, before dying tragically in an auto accident in 1982. Her young daughter Stephanie was in the vehicle at the time.
Grace's son Prince Albert is now getting married himself.
Prince Albert II and Charlene Whittstock set royal wedding date
The royal heir to the throne-one of the driving factors in Prince Rainier's desire to marry-is slated to tie the knot in July 2011. Albert is marrying a woman that could have been his mother's equal in stature and looks: Charlene Whittstock is tall, slender and sports the same classical look, with hair upswept from her face.
Prince Albert's fiance is a former Olympic swimmer who hails from South Africa instead of the States, like his mother Princess Grace. The pair will actually have two weddings.
Albert and Charlene's first wedding will be performed as a civil ceremony on July 8, 2011. Their next wedding will occur on July 9th, as a religious wedding ceremony. The prince of Monaco is 51 years old and has reigned over the Principality of Monaco since his father, Prince Rainier, died in April of 2005, 49 years after the death of his mother.

Post a CommentPlease remember although we all human race live in many countries around the world correctly put his fiancee is of what heritage, she looks german or polish.not the region you said she from.Especially the french ,we love to put things in it's place. For instant you would say polish heritage but raise in france or england,then her parents heritage and family life.THIS YOU NEED TO SAY OR OTHERWISE THEY WOULD THINK HE MARRIED A black woman.thank god she is a beautiful POLISH OR GERMAN WOMAN.
I still love all the pageantry and grandeur of these weddings.
nice work on this article
Ahh...always the naysayer or know it all popping in.
This is pretty standard in Europe. First comes the civil ceremony and then the church wedding. Not sure why, but that's the way it is. Looking forward to the photos.
Another royal wedding. Thanks for the update, Radell.
sorry I won't be able to attend. lol
