Monaco announced Tuesday that Princess Caroline likely won’t be able to testify as a witness in her husband’s trial. The Minister of State claims she has overseas commitments on Thursday, the date the Princess is scheduled to be on the witness stand.

November 26th was the set date for the Princess’ appearance before Prince Ernst August of Hannover’s trial in Hildesheim, Germany began. The court refused to let the Princess testify through mutual legal assistance in Monaco. The court official is said to be surprised Caroline may not be appearing in court.

55 year-old Prince Ernst is on trial for attacking a disco owner in Kenya in early 2000. He was originally fined for the attack in 2004, but the Prince is now seeking a lighter sentence.
