Prince Albert of Monaco plans Leeds visit

Prince Albert of Monaco will attend a ball of a charity’s Yorkshire branch - following in the footsteps of his famous parents. Suzanne McTaggart exclusively reports.

PRINCE Albert of Monaco will be the guest of honour at a glittering charity ball at Harewood House, the YEP can reveal.

The 53-year-old Prince and his fiancee Charlene Wittstock will attend the 50th anniversary ball of the Yorkshire branch of the Variety Club’s Children Charity on Sunday, September 4.

The event will be the couple’s first public engagement as husband and wife – and comes nearly 40 years after the Prince’s parents, Prince Rainier and Princess Grace, attended the charity’s ball at the Queen’s Hotel in Leeds.


I guess we should slowly start a "calendar" for these two

But...doesn't the Red Cross Ball come first?

I believe they meant the first international (outside Monaco) visit as husband/wife.

Oh, then it's ok.

Good God, is this all about emulating what his parents did as a couple?  Is he going to call her "Grace" under his breath and she'll have to answer to that name?  Is he going to finance a remake of "The Country Girl" and it'll have to star Charlene...and of course, SHE will have to win an Academy Award for it too?

I don't like Charlene nor do I trust her motives, but even she doesn't deserve to have to totally emulate this
dude's deceased mother in her actions and appearance.

I'm not concerned about that at this stage. It's an important anniversary for an event that turned out to be an effective fundraiser for a worthy cause and it's appropriate for Albert & Charlene to turn up. Let's see how the first six months or a year of engagements actually shapes up before we fret about a pattern that might not appear. And if the pattern you suspect does indeed become apparent, we can dish about it then.
