"While the date is not yet fixed, two sources confirm that preparations are under way for a royal wedding at the end of the summer," the Daily Telegraph quoted the French magazine as saying.

The Mediterranean principality has not celebrated the wedding of a ruling prince since 1956, when Prince Rainier, Albert's father, married Hollywood icon Grace Kelly, the Telegraph noted.
