If she takes up swimming again, she won't be able to wear her engagement ring in the pool - she'd surely sink.

Prince Albert of Monaco has proposed to South African former swimmer Charlene Wittstock - giving her a ring that more than makes up for his reputation as an eternal playboy.

The royal palace said in a statement that the engagement was announced today between the 52-year-old prince and 32-year-old Wittstock.

I’d rather have Prince Albert running this country than the President we’ve got.

All this time I figured he swung the other way. OTOH, from the look of his fiancé, she may have swung him back. Or, on second glance, maybe the short hair and big face... well, never mind... Thanks Cincinna. There's a treaty (early 20th c) between France and Monaco -- if the male line of the house of di Grimaldi dies out, the Principality reverts to France.

Clearly his title and wealth had nothing to do with the match.

Thanks for your personal recollections of Albert.

Albert is a graduate of Amhurst College in Mass with a BA in Political Science. He also has a graduate degree in business and management from a top University in England.

I had the privilege of meeting Albert many times, in the US and in Monaco. He is exactly as you described. He speaks perfect English with no accent, and is very nice, friendly and down to earth. When among Americans he just seems one of us.

He has been active in Olympic sports his whole life as were his grandfather Kelly and his uncle Jack Kelly. He is still the grandson of an Irishman from Philly,who started as a bricklayer. His mother, Grace Kelly, always kept up ties close with Albert’s Kelly cousins in Philly.
