Radiant Princess Charlene Stars with Prince Albert in Monaco Grand Prix Short Film

Princess Charlene of Monaco and her husband Prince Albert have starred in a Channel Four documentary, which was filmed on the eve of the Monaco Grand Prix. Watch below.

With helicopter and super yacht scenes straight out of a Bond movie, the film showcases the luxury lifestyle and unique beauty of Monte Carlo.

“It’s very beautiful here,” says the former South African Olympic swimmer. “It’s one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world.”

The 7-minute film, which aired over the weekend, was uploaded to the Monaco Palace facebook page last night.

Other ‘stars’ in the film include former race driver David Coulthard, Mark Weber (winner in 2010 and 2012), and former motorsport boss Eddie Jordan.

During champagne and conversation, a radiant and visibly self-confident Charlene tells her male companions how amazing it is to be in Monaco each year now for the Grand Prix. “My father was a very big fan and so we used to watch on television,” she says.

She said it’s exhilarating to be in Monaco for the race, and that the royal couple host a cocktail party at the Palace where she gets to meet and mingle with the drivers. “Ja, it’s pretty social,” says the Zimbabwe-born mom of twins.

Her husband, who’s grown up with the Grand Prix, reveals that his very first memory is of the legendary race… a race which every driver wants to win. (And where, according to a proud Charlene, the chequered flag was invented.)

The film also touches on Charlene’s Foundation and the importance of the Grand Prix to Monaco, and to showcasing sporting excellence.
