Her backswing could benefit from a little coaching, but there’s no denyingPrincess Charlene of Monaco’s follow-through.
Capping off a day-long charity golf tournament on Wednesday, both Princess Charlene andPrince Albertof Monaco stepped onto the 19th hole for what is arguable one of the world’s most exclusive tee shots: one attempt to land as close to the pin on a special one-night-only fairway in the middle of Monte Carlo.
With one of the world’s iconic buildings as a backdrop, Princess Charlene approached the tee dress in a long black robe and practical ballet flats. With a few tips from her husband and brother Gareth Wittstock, she took a few practice strokes before giving her best shot aimed toward the Charles Garnier-designed Opera House.
Upon hitting the ball a respectable distance, the former Olympic swimmer received a high-five from Prince Albert.
After playing the full 18-hole Princess of Monaco Cup during the day, Prince Albert stepped up to the tee. Taking off his blazer, the prince took several dedicated practice swings before showing off a fluid form.
