Wedding Ring Makes Her A Princess
Saturday, July 2nd, 2011The Prince of Monaco slipped a wedding ring onto her finger, instantly making her a princess. It’s the stuff fairy tales are made of and Monaco is used to it. It was here in this millionaires’ playground that the present Prince’s father married Grace Kelly and what a wonderful princess she turned out to be. And now, it’s the turn of Charlene, former Olympic swimmer from South Africa to enter into royalty and all the trappings around it.
Everyone was invited to the wedding reception yesterday – it was a civil ceremony and today is the religious ceremony which everyone can watch at home as it is to be televised. However, the people of Monaco seem to be thinking that it’s time he got on with it so they can have an heir to the throne. After all, he is fifty-three and he’s kept them waiting for a long time. And all those rumours of affairs and illegitimate children just didn’t help. Many of them miss his father who they loved and they feel that the Prince and his siblings have been tarnishing Monaco’s image for a while. However, this marriage will hopefully put him back on the right track with them.
Charlene Wittstock is from Zimbabwe, South Africa, the country she represented in the 2000 Olympics and she’s thirty-two. The couple has been together for four years and Monaco hopes the legitimate heirs will soon follow. Maybe it isn’t easy being in the public eye the way the Prince has but this wedding seems to put hope into every subject’s heart. Especially as they have had seven centuries of royalty and they want to continue the line.
