Come on KT, you don't give these sailors enough credit. Those pesky Swiss (admittedly with a few New Zealanders in tow) must have practiced tacking upstream on the Rhine.

The problem is, not everyone can marry into this family. The palace is trying to find an educated, beautiful, multi-lingual, & young woman, preferably Monegasque, who also has no "history" of relationships. Err... that's kind of rare around here, especially the latter bit -g-

The very rare bird who fits to the above criteria of course does not want to be an ornament, a palace slave. I know a girl who received an official letter from the palace saying Albert would like to meet her with a view to an eventual marriage. She refused.

In a world where Camilla might be the future Queen of England, I guess "Princess Anna Nicole" is not impossible, though -g-

By the way, at least Switzerland has lakes (like Lac Leman) to practice yachting in. I've always wondered where Albert et al practice the bobsleigh...
