Monaco royal couple host brunch

Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco, the world's newest royal couple, hosted guests for a private marriage brunch on Sunday a day after their church wedding, the royal family said. The brunch in the private gardens of the tiny principality's royal palace was prepared by French chef Alain Ducasse, creator of the main wedding feast, along with Joel Robuchon and palace chef Christian Garcia. The royal couple were due to fly on Tuesday to Charlene's home country South Africa, where the prince was due to attend a meeting of the International Olympic Committee of which he is a member. The palace said no details of their honeymoon plans would be made public, but a further party was planned on Thursday in Durban, South Africa. Albert and Charlene married Saturday in front of 800 royal and celebrity guests in an emotional ceremony that ended with fireworks and a ball for 200 of the couple's friends. Palace officials admitted there had been a "hiccup" in preparations when Charlene learned that Albert may face demands for a paternity test after a claim by a former lover.
