Monaco's Prince Albert Weds Charlene Wittstock!

Prince Albert II and Charlene Wittstock wave on the balcony after tying the knot in a civil ceremony on Friday (July 1) in Monaco.

The couple wed in the Throne Room of the Palace – the 33-year-old former Olympic swimmer from South Africa will now be known as Charlene, Princess of Monaco!

Albert, 53, whose mother, Hollywood icon Grace Kelly, wed Prince Rainier III in 1956, will hold a more elaborate, religious ceremony and reception on Saturday.

“My role will be defined once I’m married,” Charlene previously told French newspaper JDD (via People). “During the last five years, I’ve learned palace protocol, habits, and customs of the principality. Today, I feel I’m ready.”

Congrats to the newlyweds!
