Miss Charlene Wittstock Will Walk Down the Aisle in A Custom Designed Gown by Giorgio Armani

January 19, 2011 Alexandra 2 Comments

This isn’t exactly breaking news for many royal watchers (in fact several of us knew months ago), but Miss Charlene Wittstock will wear a custom designed wedding gown by Mr. Giorgio Armani for her wedding to HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco.

Actually, she will wear two items designed by the famous Italian designer. One for her civil marriage, that will take place on July 1, and one for the religious ceremony on July 2, 2011.

Miss Wittstock and Mr. Armani have a long relationship together when it comes to her fashion choices. In case you didn’t know, she is the official Ambassador for the House of Armani.

Monaco Has Been Officially Declared ‘The Safest Place in the World!!’ Oh Yeah, Prince Albert Was There

January 17, 2011 Alexandra

Yup that’s right! Monaco has been officially declared the safest and most epic country in the world… according to Monaco’s Police Chief/Director of Public Security, Andre Muhlberger.

HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, looking fresh and relaxed after his exotic vacay trip to Egypt as well as his official trip to Lebanon, congratulated the Police force for a job well done.

In an article from today’s Monaco Telecom newspaper, Mr. Muhlberger notes, “…good figures for 2010…” ; however, he did state there were a wee of problems last year… but that’s not important.

It’s been shuffled under the rug.

Voila! No problemos!

Everything is fine here.

Any who, there are several photos of HSH Prince Albert II and the entire police force from today’s announcement. To view the photos please click the link: Monaco Telecom

In case you were wondering, Miss Charlene Wittstock did not attend the event.

Finally! Finally, I can report some news from the beautiful country of Liechtenstein and the Princely family.

Like other royal and princely houses in Europe, the Princely Family of Liechtenstein held their annual New Year’s reception at the majestic Vaduz Castle.

HSH Prince Hans-Adam, HSH Princess Marie, Hereditary Prince Alois and his wife Princess Sophie greeted a myriad of guests inside the castle. Hors d’oeuvres and drinks were served while the attendees and Princely family mingled. All in all the reception looked like, well, a fun reception. 🙂
