Last month, the royal couple carried the Olympic torch during its stop in Monaco. The Prince and Princess are both former Olympic athletes. In 2000, Charlene's swim team came in fifth at the Sydney Olympics. The swimmer, who was born in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, Africa, stopped competing in 2007 after qualifying for the Beijing Olympics.
