RUNAWAY BRIDE FLEES THE PALACE ...AGAIN!

Albert’s reunion with his baby mama is the final straw for sad Charlene

-

Prince Albert of Monaco often appears stunned when the world’s media suggests his marriage to Princess Charlene isn’t a happy one.

It doesn’t, however, seem to stop him making questionab­le decisions like hanging out with his former girlfriend and baby mama while his wife of eight years is across the other side of Europe with their five-yearold twins.

Albert, 61, was snapped with his arm around his ex Nicole Coste – the mother of his illegitima­te son Alexandre – at her 50th birthday party in London last week.

LOVE CHILDREN

Lothario Albert has two love children – 16-year-old Alex and 27-year-old Jazmin Grace Grimaldi, the latter from his relationsh­ip with US estate agent Tamara Rotolo.

The kids have no claim to the Monegasque throne since they were born out of wedlock, with Albert later marrying

Zimbabwean swimmer Charlene Wittstock, who gave birth to Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella in 2014.

The pair had an infamously fraught start to their union, with Charlene, 41, reportedly attempting to escape Monaco before being stopped at the airport and having her passport confiscate­d.

She was visibly distraught during the ceremony, and rumoured to have stayed in a separate hotel during their honeymoon. Now there are fresh fears among royal sources and friends alike that Charlene may once more be planning an escape, after being betrayed by her husband again.

HUMILIATIO­N

Sources say Albert’s appearance at flight attendant Nicole’s birthday as the guest of honour is “like a kick in the teeth for Charlene”.

“Since marrying Albert her life has been filled with humiliatio­n,” says a source. “What kind of husband goes to an ex’s birthday celebratio­n and then poses for a cosy photo with her?”

It’s believed Charlene was holidaying in Corsica while Albert was with Nicole.

GETTING AWAY WITH IT

“Albert continues to make a mockery of their marriage, but he doesn’t care,” says a source. “He was born into one of the wealthiest families in the world and truly believes he can get away with anything. The code of human decency doesn’t seem to apply to him.

“Charlene has always just ignored his bad behaviour outwardly, though there’s no denying it breaks her heart. She’s always just focused on enjoying the spoils of his bank account, and raising the future king of Monaco to be a better man than his father – but it really seems like she’s had about all she can take. This time Albert has gone too far.”
