In other Monaco related news, the French newspaper, L’Express, received their subpoena this afternoon regarding that little old lawsuit against the paper.

If you don’t know by now the paper is being sued by Their Serene Highnesses Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene for “spreading false rumors” and “invasion of privacy” days before the lavish princely nuptials in Monaco.  The managing editor of L’Express, Christophe Barbier, stands by the story he ran in his newspaper regarding the alleged unstable relationship between the prince and princess, “…recoupé l’information de trois sources différentes qui sont toutes les trois fables.” Basically, he noted that his sources, all three of them, are reliable… etc, etc.
