Grace Kelly’s grandson gets engaged – will the wedding be as glamorous as hers?
Another royal wedding is on the horizon!
Monaco’s Princess Stephanie, the daughter of Grace Kelly, announced on Wednesday that her son Louis Ducruet, 25, is to marry his girlfriend Marie Chevallier, his college sweetheart.
“Her Serene Highness Princess Stephanie has the joy to announce her son Louis Ducruet's engagement with Miss Marie Chevallier,” the statement from the Palace read.
Louis is Stéphanie’s oldest child, her son with ex-husband Daniel Ducruet, who was once the princess’ bodyguard.
Louis, who has no title but is twelfth in the line of succession to the Monegasque throne, is the first of Stephanie's children to get married.
The engaged couple both attended Western Carolina University, in Cullowhee, North Carolina, where Louis earned a bachelor's degree in sports management and Marie studied marketing.
They have been dating for around five years, with both posting touching engagement photos to their social media.
The photo sees Louis down on one knee on a beach at the Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai in Hoi An, Vietnam, popping the question in a dapper white suit.
“Let me introduce you the future madame Ducruet,” Louis said in his post. “She said yes and we are now engaged.”
Marie wrote: “Proud to announce that, I said YES to the love of my life. I love you so so so much.”
