This week a German tabloid published photos of Prince Ernst August of Hannover, husband to Monaco’s Princess Caroline, kissing another woman while on vacation in Thailand. These photographs come after months of rumors that there is a rift between the couple.

Now there is speculation that Caroline will divorce her estranged husband. She was skiing in Switzerland with her children while Ernst was in Thailand.
Last year, the Princess took her 10 year-old daughter with Ernst, and moved back to Monaco after living in Fountainbleau, France since her 1999 marriage to the Prince of Hannover. She then enrolled her daughter, Alexandra, in a local school.
Meanwhile, Ernst was noticeably absent from several high profiled events in Monaco in 2009, including National Day and the Bal de la Rose. Such absences prompted wonder if there was another Grimaldi marriage failing.
Princess Caroline has stood by her husband during many embarrassing situations, such as him urinating on a Turkish pavilion at a 2000 Expo and him getting into a brawl with a nightclub owner in Kenya.
The latter has the Prince in court again, and it speculated that Caroline herself will testify as a witness to the incident next Wednesday. One wonders how that scene will play out.
