MONACO, Nov 19: Prince Albert II of Monaco was enthroned on Saturday, completing the formal succession in a process that began in July. Prince Albert, the 47-year-old son of Prince Rainier and Hollywood actress Grace Kelly, was sworn in as head of state in July after a three-month mourning period for his father, who died on April 6.
