The Prince and Princess of Monaco tied the knot in 2011

Princess Charlene and Prince Albert II stepped out together to christen a new addition to Monaco’s maritime police, soon after the pair addressed their marriage rumours.

The royal pair, who have been spotted together at numerous engagements in the principality over the past month and at one of South Africa's rugby World Cup matches in France, put up another unified front appearance.


The princely couple have had to fight the negative rumours that have followed them since their wedding day, and both have made statements about this in recent weeks.

In an interview with an Italian newspaper, Albert said: "I don’t understand all these rumours, which hurt me, about us…they’re lies."

A few weeks later, Princess Charlene told the South African outlet News 24: "There’s nothing wrong with our marriage and I find the rumours to be draining and exhausting.

"I simply cannot understand where they come from.

"It feels to me like certain media or people want to see us split."

Charlotte Casiraghi also attended the opening of a new branch of Monaco's marine police along with Princess Charlene and her uncle Prince Albert.

The newest addition to the fleet, the 'Saint Georges' shuttle, has a top speed of 45 knots and will be a crucial tool for risky sea rescue missions.

As Monaco's patroness of public safety, Charlotte was present and posed for pictures with her uncle and aunt.

The royals looked impeccable, with Charlotte, the brand's spokeswoman wearing a white-trimmed bouclé jacket and two-tone pumps.

Meanwhile, Albert and Charlene kept things straightforward in nautical blue and white suits.

As the daughter of Princess Caroline and the granddaughter of Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly, Charlotte is the ninth in line to the Monegasque throne.

She has achieved success in her career as an equestrian, competing in numerous international competitions, as well as a model, journalist, and editor.

Charlotte is a regular participant in fashion shows and a Chanel ambassador.

Her worlds came together when she famously rode down the catwalk on a horse to start Chanel's ss22 couture show.
