At a charity golf tournament in Monaco at the beginning of September, Prince Albert of Monaco went out of his way for Charlene, and the princess even picked up the golf club herself, to the applause of spectators, and then received a kiss from her husband. The busy King of Monaco traveled to the Ryder Cup, a multi-day top-tier golf tournament between the best players in Europe and the USA, without Charlene, but that did not dampen his great mood.

Prince Albert did not have to do without the company of women. Casually wearing a Ryder Cup hat and polo shirt, Albert was in the stands cheering on Team Europe, and next to him was an equally athletic-dressed woman with a bright smile and long brown hair. The woman with whom Albert got on so well in Charlene’s absence that the two couldn’t stop laughing was Lavinia Biagiotti (44), president of the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in the Rome town of Gedonia-Monticlio, where the Ryder Cup was held this year.

It is not an easy situation for the princess, who suffers from the way she is portrayed in front of the public.
