It’s summertime, and everyone is taking time off from everyday life for time in the sun. Members of the world’s royal families are no exception to that, and this edition of Royal Summer Vacations is about the Princely Family of Monaco – who are enjoying some rest and relaxation in St. Tropez.
First, the youngest son of Princess Caroline, Pierre Casiraghi, and his Italian aristocratic girlfriend, Beatrice Barromeo, took a boat ride in the area. Beatrice brought along her pet dog for the afternoon in the sea.
Back on land, Prince Albert II and his longtime love, Charlene Wittstock, went for a walk on the beaches of the exclusive vacation spot. They had wandered over a nudist beach, probably by accident, but kept to themselves – and their clothes on. The couple eventually made it to a safe area, where the sovereign Prince signed a few autographs. The fans, thankfully, were fully clothed.
Monday saw the Grimaldi clan pile onto Princess Caroline’s yacht, the Pacha III. Pierre and Beatrice were there, as well as Albert and Charlene. It is not known if Caroline’s other two children, Andrea and Charlotte, were onboard, but her youngest child, Princess Alexandra of Hannover was there.
As the paparazzi snapped away, Charlene, a former competitive swimmer, took a few dips in the Mediterranean sea.
