Word is that rather than glass coaches, Rolls Royces or Maybachs, the Grimaldis will use a LEXUS LS 600h * YEOW! I guess it's better than Prince Albert in a can!
Royalty, I love it. The wedding today was beautiful and now he's getting married. Amazing! Great blog.....
The Grimaldi of Monaco have ruled for CENTURIES and have some rotten apples as do the many monarchies....Albert has to have a LEGAL MALE heir or the country will revert to France. He has an ILlegal son living in Paris.
They have had their ups and downs. Grace was ANOTHER princess who was clueless what she was marrying into much like Diana!
Hi Wallace - The royals have some really cool cars. I have no idea what a LEXUS LS 600h looks like. Do let Albert out of the can:)
Conrad * the photo in my post is of the car in Monaco with the flag....IT'S a H and ELECTRIC! Price is around $100,000.
The ruling monarch of Monaco will use a specially prepared Lexus LS600h for his wedding on July 2. The special Lexus will be complete with flashing lights, the royal insignia and the prized "MC 01" licence plate for Prince Albert II's marriage to Charlene Wittstock, a former swimmer from South Africa. "With its pioneering state-of-the-art full hybrid technology delivering class-leading CO2 efficiency and environmental performances, Lexus is pleased to contribute to the objectives defined by His Serene Highness and to help the Principality of Monaco to become an international reference in terms of sustainable mobility," Lexus officials said. Prince Albert leads a foundation that supports more than 150 projects monitoring environmental evolution and protecting species endangered by climate change. It also provides assistance in water management in developing regions. The prince has defined the principality's strategic direction in terms of sustainable mobility and asked his government to develop a plan putting a clear focus on mobility with lower environmental impact. This plan will be deployed over the next decade.
Wallace, I watched reruns of the wedding a couple of times. She was a beautiful bride.
I wonder when we will have our "own" royal wedding here. We need the publicity
