Princess Charlene and Prince Albert II portrait on show at Monaco museum

The portrait of Princess Charlene of Monaco and Prince Albert II of Monaco taken during their marriage, is now part of the exhibition History of the Prince’s Wedding at the Musée Oceanographique de Monaco.

Prince Albert II of Monaco and South African beauty Princess Charlene held their Church wedding ceremony earlier this month in front of 800 royal and celebrity guests, the tense bride finally shedding a few tears as the day came to an end.

Arrayed in a stunning Armani gown cut from 130 metres of silk and studded with 40,000 crystals, the world’s newest royal briefly showed the emotion of a week of ugly rumours and a tightly stage-managed wedding spectacular.

Thousands of wellwishers had watched the religious wedding service on big screens outside the royal palace and around the principality.

Prince Albert, at 53, is two decades older than his blonde bride and has two children from previous relationships. But even if a third or a fourth is confirmed he will still not have an official heir until his lawful wife bears him one.
