Monaco and Belgium

It was on this day in 1846 that HSH Prince Charles III of Monaco was married to the Belgian noblewoman Antoinette de Merode-Westerloo, one of the more happy and successful Grimaldi marriages. In honor of that occasion, we can take a moment to appreciate the long and close friendship of the Royal Family of Belgium and the Princely Family of Monaco:

    Now let's try this again...

    Princesses Marie-Christine and Esmeralda of Belgium spent time with Princess Grace, when their father, King Leopold III, was seriously ill at one point. There is a nice photo in one of Esmeralda's books showing Grace with the two young Belgian princesses.
