Prince Albert accepts libel damages - - MSN News UK

Prince Albert accepts libel damages - - MSN News UK: "Prince Albert of Monaco and his wife, Princess Charlene, have accepted an offer of damages over a Sunday Times story which suggested she was reluctant to marry him.

The couple were not at London's High Court for the settlement of their libel action against Times Newspapers Ltd.

The 54-year-old monarch's solicitor, Mark Thomson, said the July 2011 article - which appeared two days after their wedding - accused the prince of having the princess's passport confiscated at Nice airport to prevent her from fleeing Monaco."
