With girlfriend Charlene Wittstock by his side, Prince Albert II of Monaco became an honorary ambassador for the society of vintners in Bordeaux, France.
The event happened Sunday, and the couple were given a tour of the International Wine Fair Vinexpo as part of their special guests positions. The two tasted and tested the wine from the area.
Then came time for the sovereign Prince to put on the robes of an ambassador of the vintners. He put on a red and white robe and joined about 40 other “protectors of the jury.” Albert’s position requires him to promote Bordeaux wine.
Although Charlene and Albert have been dating for three years, they are in no rush to marry. The Prince once said he would follow his “own path,” in reference the 51 year old bachelor is likely not going to tie the knot with his South African girlfriend anytime soon.
