Speculation is growing that Princess Caroline of Monaco is set to split from her German husband after he was allegedly photographed kissing another woman in Thailand.
Princess Caroline, 52, spent Christmas in the Swiss ski resort of Crans-Montana while her husband Prince Ernst August of Hanover was in Phuket.
The German celebrity magazine Bunte published photographs of the prince with another woman today.
That triggered other reports in the German media on long-standing rumours of a divorce later this year.
A divorce could be one of the most costly in history. The prince has a wealth estimated at more than £5billion in property, estates and investments and under German and French law Princess Caroline would be entitled to half.
'Betrayed!' said the Hamburger Abendblatt newspaper. 'Poor Caroline. What does this scandal mean for Monaco?' said the country's biggest selling newspaper Bild.
And Bunte, which has in the past had a direct line into royal houses of Hanover and Grimaldi, said: 'The First Lady of Monaco simply cannot accept being publicly duped in such a manner by her marriage partner.'
The pictures were taken on Phuket's Freedom Beach and show the prince - who is a distant cousin of Queen Elizabeth II - in the sea with the woman, who bears an uncanny resemblance to his long-suffering spouse.
