PRINCE Albert of Monaco, son of late Hollywood star Grace Kelly, will marry South African Olympic swimmer Charlene Wittstock next July, in what will be a star-studded event likely to boost the principality's image.
Albert, 52, has been linked to a string of beautiful women and has acknowledged fathering two illegitimate children, but he sought to shed his playboy image after succeeding his father Prince Rainier in 2005. He has dated Wittstock since 2006.
His palace said yesterday the religious marriage will be on July 9 and a civil ceremony held the day before.
The last time Monaco celebrated a wedding of its ruling prince was in 1956, when Rainier married Kelly.
Once dubbed Dirty Bertie by the tabloid press, Albert in his younger days was photographed accompanying a stream of famous women, such as Naomi Campbell, Brooke Shields, Lisa Marie Presley and Kylie Minogue.
But unlike his two sisters, who have a clutch of marriages and seven children between them, Albert never seemed inclined to settle down.
