Prince Albert at Wimbledon - He attends tennis tournament with family member
The visit of Princess Kate (42) to Wimbledon is still eagerly anticipated. At the previous Monday (8th July), the Wimbledon audience did not have to miss out on royal splendor. Albert II, Prince of Monaco (66), took a seat in the Royal Box. He came accompanied by a family member.
Close Ties to the Princely House
Melanie-Antoinette Costello de Massy (39) sat next to Albert. She is the daughter of Baroness Elisabeth-Anne de Massy (1947-2020), a cousin of Prince Albert and niece of Albert's father Rainier III (1923-2005). According to "Tatler", the Baroness was a close confidante in the Monaco Princely House. She was one of the younger bridesmaids at the wedding of her uncle Rainier III with Grace Kelly (1929-1982) and the godmother of Princess Stéphanie of Monaco (59). Melanie-Antoinette Costello de Massy, who already appeared with Albert at Wimbledon in 2023, also maintains a close relationship with the family. She accompanies Albert regularly to events and is said to be a crucial support for his wife, Princess Charlene (46).
Other Wimbledon guests on Monday, according to the British "Daily Mail", were actors Mark Rylance (64), singers Cliff Richard (83), or Princess Michael of Kent (79).
