Charlene of Monaco: why did she forbid her father to speak to her on her wedding day?
The stories about Charlene of Monaco’s marriage to Prince Albert II are many and one of them involves her father, Michael Wittstock…
- A new book about Charlene of Monaco has been written by Arlene Prinsloo
- The author talks about the marriage of Charlene and Albert II of Monaco
- She explains why Charlene did not want to speak with her father on D-Day
It is a day that connoisseurs of royal families, and in particular that of the Rock, always talk about. Charlene Wittstock’s wedding to Prince Albert II of Monaco 1uh July 2011 is a historic event in more ways than one, but it could have been marked by a huge scandal. Just before his wedding, the Express had indeed revealed that Charlene of Monaco had tried to flee the Rock and take refuge in South Africa, where she is from, but that she had been caught up by relatives of the main family. Since that day, she has been known as “the runaway bride” and the tears she sheds while she is married to Albert II of Monaco have therefore been subject to many interpretations.
Arlene Prinsloo, author of a book on Charlene of Monaco which will be published on May 25, wanted to come back to this complicated day and in particular to a surprising detail: Charlene’s request not to speak with his father, Michael Wittstock. According to Arlene Prinsloo and what she explains in History of Charlène: the astonishing destiny of the swimmer who became Princess of Monacothe bride feared that the media, already very involved in her private life, would come even more spoil this special day. “Apparently, Charlene told her dad not to talk to her at the ceremony because the media would try to read their lips and interpret their conversation…”
Charlene relieved on her wedding day?
In order to avoid that very private conversations do not end up in the press more or less approximately, Charlene of Monaco would therefore have stayed away from her own father on her wedding day. Marriage which, still according to Arlene Prinsloo, was otherwise a happy event, contrary to the various interpretations that have been made of it. “She will always be known as the ‘runaway bride’, but I’m 100% sure that wasn’t the case and the tears were a big downer.” An assertion that the interested party has already denied in the past.
