Prince Albert of Monaco has been forced to issue a public statement after claims that his fiancée tried to leave him days before their wedding after learning of his third illegitimate child.
The royal family dismissed reports that Charlene Wittstock had tried to flee to South Africa, where she grew up.
The claims appear to have originated in the French news magazine L'Express.
In an article headlined “Albert-Charlene: Marriage in Peril” and published on its website, the magazine claimed Miss Wittstock, a former Olympic swimmer, had been upset to hear a new revelation about her future husband.
A lawyer for Prince Albert vigorously denied the claims, described the story as “madness” and added: “Everything is false.”
The allegations emerged just two days before the three-day celebrations for the wedding are to start. They are expected to cost around £50million.
The guest list includes Naomi Campbell, the model, the businessman Philip Green, Richard Branson, the entrepreneur, and Giorgio Armani, the fashion designer.
Dozens of royal guests will also attend, including the Earl and Countess of Wessex.
A statement from the palace said: “The Prince's Palace firmly denies the allegations.
“These rumours, spread a few days before the wedding ceremonies of His Serene Highness Prince Albert and Miss Charlene Wittstock, have only one purpose - to seriously damage the Sovereign's image and by consequence that of Miss Wittstock and to cause serious prejudice to a happy event.”
Prince Albert's lawyer, Thierry Lacoste, confirmed he would be taking legal action against the French publication and added: “I was with the Prince and Charlene Wittstock in Paris three days ago, and I can promise you that all is well.”

I swear, these people seem so uninteresting.
Hit the abuse button,problem solved. Sorry.
I think the French magazines created a story to sell magazines.
It’s the slow news season.. nothing on TV but King Barack & Moochelle-Antoinette spending the prople’s money & taking vacations.
I’ll take their royalty over ours (sic) any day...much easier on the eyes, and no danger to the Free World!
Linda McCartney is dead? Sorry, I didn’t know, I’ve been living in France.

Thanks!
Please remove me from your ping list. Thanks.

Fixed it. This exaggeration of mystic sitings of dead people borders on the ridiculous and shows ignorance of Scripture. God gave us Jesus as the only sign we need for spiritual awakening within. Jesus is the Truth. All else is vanity.
The idea that some orange peel with a brown spot or some weeping piece of stone or wood is a sign of God borders on the heretical. We live within God's world which displays His power in every leaf and body.
Of course, since it is from a group that worships gold icons and whose priests claim to be the sole arbiters of God's Word is tribute to the power of mysticism. Veneration of some people as special saints flies in the face of God's intention for all of us believers.
There is a list of things which God gave us for guidance... See #2
You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
Flame suit on! Responses will be ignored. I am a Christian, secure in God's path! I'm just appalled at posts such as yours.
Good!
The point was that the picture was inappropriate as it was used by the poster. Your post is a side issue to the subject of the thread despite your good intentions.

Cincina, you are not the authority on God, or Jesus.

Can’t even discuss some royal wedding somewhere in Europe without a FReeper ranting against the Catholic Church.
Why don’t you go handle serpents or speak in tongues or hurl darts at a Benedict XVI dartboard or whatever it is that you backwoods Biblethumpers do, or hand out Jack Chick tracts or something?
BTW, the apparition at Fatima in 1917 was real and well documented. And Martin Luther was fat. Laus Deo et Deo gratias!

Chill, biscuit.
