Well, at the end we've got the new!! Congratulations to both of them.
It is my personal opinion but CHarlene will have to work veeeeery hard to get the heritage of an icon as Princess Grace was . I wish I could be denied , but I feel she's unfit for such role .
Anyway, best luck happy couple!!

Congratulations to the couple!!! I never thought that Charlene was THE adequate, but on the other side, bravo to her patiente and courage, she has been waiting for a very long time.
This I hope will be encouraging for Kate Middleton!! I hope that William will take his decision finally.

IMO she was invited to the wedding as a fiancee, now I can understand why she was next to Mary and Frederick in the church.

You are right. IMO they announced it after the wedding to avoid a very strong pressure on her first official appearance. Clever. 
Any date for the wedding??????
Maybe April 19th, anniversary of the wedding of Albert's parents??
I think that Caroline should regulate her matrimonial sityation BEFORE the wedding, as many protocollary points should arise!!

Le Prince Albert II annonce ses fiançailles avec Charlène Wittstock
La nouvelle était attendue! C'est officiel, le Prince Albert II annonce ses fiançaillles avec Charlène Wittstock. L'apparition de la belle sud-Africaine lors du mariage de la Princesse Victoria de Suède avait déjà nourri les rumeurs. C'est maintenant fait, le communiqué en provenance du Palais en atteste.
Par B.Ulrich
Le Palais princier a annoncé mercredi 23 juin 2010 les fiançailles de S.A.S. le Prince Albert II de Monaco avec Mademoiselle Charlène Wittstock.
S.A.S. le Prince Albert, Alexandre, Louis, Pierre, Prince Souverain de Monaco, Marquis des Baux, est né le 14 mars 1958.
Son Altesse est le fils du Prince Rainier III, Louis Henri-Maxence-Bertrand (31 mai 1923-6 avril 2005) et de la Princesse Grace, née Kelly, (12 novembre 1929 – 14 septembre 1982).
S.A.S le Prince Albert II a succédé à Son père, le Prince Rainier III le 12 juillet 2005.
Mademoiselle Charlène Lynette Wittstock de nationalité Sud-Africaine est née le 25 janvier 1978, à Bulawayo, au Zimbabwe. Avant d’arriver à Monaco, Mademoiselle Charlène Lynette Wittstock était éducatrice pour enfants.

What is the rate of my astrological abilities to predict whether they will marry or not you asked on another forum when I predicted this almost three years ago now and I said a hefty percentage. You had said that you did not believe. I guess that is why you are offering the facts but not the grace of not offering felicitations and best wishes to te next Princess of Monaco -Charlene

I am soooooo happy for them! IMO it is about time! But CONGRATS to them! She has really grown into her role and I think she will represent Monaco beautifully, as she did at the Swedish royal wedding!

First I thought that it was a joke.... they seemed to be eternal "fiancee'- to-be" but eventually Albert did it! The new era for Monaco begins !

Finally a wedding in Monaco!!! Congratulations are in order! 
In the days leading to the wedding in Sweden I was actually thinking about whether Prince Albert will marry at all and what is the situation in Monaco. He seemed in a very good mood in the wedding and that coupled with the fact he was there with Charlene was a good sign. I see he has chosen a slightly melancholic looking blonde, like his mother was... I hope they will become very happy together and I hope to see the bride smiling a lot at their wedding. I haven't seen her smile yet but I guess she is a bit nervous about all the attention.
I cannot reach the official site of the Princely Family of Monaco but hopefully soon we'll get more information.

I also wondered why Charlene was seated behind Albert and next to the Crown Prince & Princess of Denamrk in the church - a "high" seat assignment for just a girlfriend! It's about time they get engaged. Much congrats to them.

Princess Grace was an extremely luminous person, not melancholic looking at all! She captivated the light!

Charlene was always a bit sad, but it was normal, after all these years she has been waiting!!!!!!!
But I think she will be very happy and smiling now!
