T.S.H.s Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco are currently in the tiny country of Nepal for the next few days.

The princely couple will go to the village of Dhuseni to visit the school built by the Monaco Aide et Présence association, now known as one of the ten best schools in this country. The Prince will then lay the foundation stones for new schools being built with the support of the ‘NAMASTE’ Association (Nepal-Monaco-Cultural-Association) in Salleri and Rigaon.

T.S.H.s will also visit a clinic established by the ‘ACFN’ (Franco-Nepalese Cultural Association) and the craft workshop that provides training for women sponsored by ‘NAMASTE’, located in Gamrang.

Their Serene Highnesses Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco are currently in New Zealand to attend the 2011 Rugby World Cup as well as to attend other official functions. One of the events the princely couple were to attend was the New Zealand Olympic Committee’s centenary dinner on October 20, 2011. Unfortunately, there were a change of plans.  According to the New Zealand newspaper, Auckland Now, the princely couple instead “… jetted across the Tasman Sea…”

Why?  No idea.

But, don’t fret.  The lovely couple will be back to New Zealand to attend the 2011 Rugby World Cup Finals this weekend.   🙂
