Grace Kelly's grandson Louis Ducruet and Marie Chevallier to marry July 27

Weeks after Monaco's Charlotte Casiraghi tied the knot, another descendant of Grace Kelly's is set to say "I do" this weekend. Princess Stephanie's son Louis Durcruet will marry his college sweetheart, Marie Chevallier, on Saturday, July 27. According to HOLA! USA’s sister brand HELLO!, Princess Grace's 26-year-old grandson and his fiancée, who got engaged in February of 2018, will exchange vows at the Monaco Cathedral. It's said that the groom wants to be close to his maternal grandfather, Prince Rainier III, who is buried there.

 

Several of Louis’ royal relatives are expected to attend the ceremony, including his mother Princess Stephanie, uncle Prince Albert, aunt Princess Charlene, and aunt Princess Caroline, in addition to his two siblings, sister Pauline Ducruet and half-sister Camille Gottlieb. The wedding will be a private affair, however it's likely that the royal court will share an official portrait from the ceremony, as they have done with previous royal weddings.
