Monagesque Royals Gather For Ball

Royals of the tiny principality were at the Red Cross Ball last night, one of Monaco’s main social and charity events.

Prince Albert II arrived with his two sisters, Princesses Caroline and Stephanie (Caroline came with husband Prince Ernst of Hanover). Albert also brought along his significant other, South African swimmer Charlene Wittstock. This is the third year in a row Wittstock has been at the Red Cross Ball -however, this year marked the first time she entered the gala alongside Monaco’s reigning Prince. Before, Wittstock walked behind the Grimaldi family.

Purple was the color of the night – as Caroline and Charlene both wore evening gowns of that hue. Only Stephanie opted out, wearing an orange dress with floral designs at the dress’ skirt.
