New York society will get a first glimpse of Princess Charlene of Monaco with her new husband, Prince Albert II, at today’s Princess Grace Foundation Gala at Cipriani 42nd Street. It will be their first appearance since their dramatic July wedding, prior to which Charlene reportedly tried to flee back to her native South Africa before officials confiscated her passport and persuaded her to get married. Sources tell us the royal couple will also host an intimate lunch today for top donors to their charity. A source told us, “All eyes will be on Charlene. They are trying to restore their luster after all the gossip around the wedding.”
