Albert Meets the Woman of His Dreams
Prince Albert II was 48 years old when he finally found a partner who would bring an end to his bachelor days. It was South African-born Charlene Wittstock, a former Olympic swimmer.
For decades, the world had waited to see who would finally claim the elusive prince’s heart, and fittingly, it was a fellow Olympian. Prince Albert II would later gift Charlene an exquisite necklace featuring 18-karat gold, 1,200 diamonds, and a pear-shaped pearl.
