Prince Albert can hardly be blamed for keeping a tight grip on his bride-to-be. Faced with extraordinary claims that Charlene Wittstock had tried to run away home to South Africa only days before their £50million wedding, Monaco’s ruler took her on a tour of the principality. The idea, apparently, was to show that the wedding festivities, due to start with a concert tonight and two lavish ceremonies on Friday and Saturday, are still on.
