CORRECTION!:

Sorry, but I make an innocent mistake with regards to Princess Camilla of Bourbon-Two Sicilies.  Her correct title is: Princess Camilla, Duchess of Castro.  Her husband is Prince Charles of Bourbon Two Sicilies, Duke of Castro.  You can read more about the couple on their official website here.

And, finally, a reader asked, “Why did you use an old pic of them that has no relevance to the article, when there are plenty of decent photos of them from the event?!!!”

Simple.  Because I did not have permission to use photos from this particular event.   🙂

It certainly has been a busy weekend for Their Serene Highnesses Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco and on Saturday, May 26, 2012, the princely couple met with staff and people from Association Monégasque des Handicapés Moteurs.  The prince and princess wanted to met with “…people with disabilities…” who were enjoying the F1 Grand Prix de Monaco.

 Yay.

Any way, guests in attendance included mushroom haircut devotee & billionaire, Bernie Ecclestone, actress Jennifer Lawrence, and bunch of extremely tanned people with lots of money.
