Just days after gathering for Charlotte Casiraghi and Dimitri Rassam's big day, preparations are underway in Monaco, as on Saturday 27 July, Prince Albert of Monaco's nephew Louis Ducruet will tie the knot with his fiancée Marie Chevallier at the Monaco Cathedral. It's said the groom wanted to be close to his grandfather Prince Rainier III, who is buried there.
The wedding is expected to be a private affair but it's likely that the royal court will share at least one official portrait from the ceremony, as they have done with previous royal weddings. Royal family members expected to attend include Prince Albert and Princess Charlene, the groom's mother Princess Stéphanie and his aunt Princess Caroline, as well as his sister Pauline Ducruet and half-sister Camille Gottlieb.
