Under Catholic cannon law, he cannot remarry unless he is a widow.
If he divorces, then he is free to marry another under common law.
Except if one of them gets a declaration of invalidity of the wedding.

Once again:And we don't know how difficult it is to get a judge's order for a paternity test. Or is there no such order? And if there is, why is this not published as a fact? We read only about rumours. Rumours from sources the media deems reliable but still only rumours.
Once again:
The Palace officially confirmed the day after the wedding that Prince Albert is facing the paternity lawsuit of "at least" one other woman over fathering an illegitimate child.
The Palace did not issue a press release, but according to every current media source the Palace confirmed officially; the official is quoted as saying:I didn't find any confirmation on Internet. Was a statement issued?

''The truth of the rumour is that The Prince faces paternity tests following a claim by at least one former lover.”

Princess Charlene of Monaco 'tried to flee three times' - Telegraph
Monaco Royal Couple Headed For SA But Paternity Tests Await : NewsTime : World News
I don't feel that way; in my opinion she has shown that she is willing to put up with ANYTHING for the sake of a title and a royal lifestyle. She's gone into this with her eyes wide open so I can't pity her.My heart goes out to Charlene. Stories like these don't stay around for that long unless there is some truth in them. It goes a long way to explaine why she looked so removed from the whole thing yesterday. What a mess.

Care to share her motivations with us as you're evidently aware of them...
A woman with any self-respect would have walked. JMO.
Perhaps ... Charlene, Princess of Monaco, followed Mrs. Rodham Clinton's example.A woman with any self-respect would have walked. JMO.
Or it may be solved by finding common ground for a healthful and loving relationship.Many words can be spent on this matter, but to me body language says more: this is a complicated start of two people who perhaps love each other but who somehow will have a difficult time to make the marriage work. In time the problem will be solved, either by an early divorce or by natural causes, for he is 20 years her senior.

Charlene had many chances to walk: when she did the Miramar mile in S. Africa this spring, when she went to Athens just a week ago. Forcibly holding someone is a very serious charge; similar to kidnapping. I find it hard to believe that the governments of France and S. Africa would abet such a thing. That would make them accessories to the crime.
Love reading all your comments. This is the BEST FORUM EVER!
I cannot explain why, but I really like this couple and wish only the best for them.
I don't dislike the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge but I have no interest in them. The papers are full of them at the moment (William/Catherine). I so DISLIKE all the negative articles from the British Press about the Foreign Royals .... they love to belittle them. The British Royal Family are hardly free from scandal themselves.
In the US, that in itself would be a lawsuit as well as criminal charges (i.e. defamation of character and kidnapping).
I think Albert will refrain from suing because at least part of the accusations will be correct (more illigitimate children)
I am not sure how it works in France and/or Monaco, but he can limit the claim. Its one thing IMO to suggest that he has fathered an illegtimate child (which can be proven or disproven by a DNA test) its quite another to state that he held someone against their will. That is very serious and a bigger issue than the cheating.
Has there been any type of evidence which supports such a claim that Charlene was/is being held against her will. Everyone keeps talking about it and with no disrespect to the French newspaper....where is the proof?
What I find it alarming is everyone is making a VERY SERIOUS accusations(against Monaco, the French police, Prince Albert, etc.) but no one is providing anything that supports such a claim. In the US, that in itself would be a lawsuit as well as criminal charges (i.e. defamation of character and kidnapping).
I think it would be wise NOT TO RUSH TO JUDGEMENT until the FACTS become known.

Sister Morphine said:Charlene is Charlene and I am myself......and there's no way I would marry man who had two illegitimate children already, and was facing a paternity test because of another. Especially if the paternity test was concerning a child conceived and born in the time that we were together. I don't care if they were just dating, or if they were engaged....if you're with someone, you're with them. That means you don't go sleeping around with other people and say "Well, we weren't engaged, so it's not like I was committed to her or anything." Horsepuckey.
Sorry, but no title and no jewels and no palace would make me marry a man like that.
