Eleven years ago, Prince Albert II married Princess Charlene
The Princely Couple married on July 1, 2011.
Monegasques remember it as if it were yesterday. Eleven years ago, Prince Albert II and Charlène Wittstock said “yes” to each other. The civil marriage, described on July 1 in the Throne Room of the Prince’s Palace, was followed the next day by a religious ceremony in the Cour d’Honneur, fifty years after the union of Prince Rainier III with Grace Kelly.
The union had broken audience records, followed by more than seven million viewers in France, and more than a billion people in the world. In the Principality, 6,000 Monegasques went to the Place du Palais Princier to greet the new Royal Couple on the balcony, waving flags in the colors of Monaco and South Africa.
A wedding anniversary that promises to be happier than the previous one: in July 2021, Princess Charlene could not be present in Monaco on this very special day, for medical reasons. Now back in the Principality, the Princess can celebrate this date with Prince Albert II and the Princely Twins.
Monaco Tribune wishes the Princely Couple and their Children much happiness.
