Prince to visit Chríost Rí on first official visit to Ireland

A PRINCE is expected to visit a Cork school next year which his mother, the late Princess Grace of Monaco, helped nearly 50 years ago.

Prince Albert II of Monaco is expected to confirm soon that he will visit Coláiste Chríost Rí in late April or early May 2010 as part of what will be his first official visit to Ireland.

It is understood the prince was touched by the fact that his late mother helped the then-fledging school in 1960, with a special donation.
