New York Post: "Prince Albert to announce his engagement..."

Today's (August 3rd) New York Post reports the following under the
heading "We hear... we hear":

That Prince Albert of Monaco, 48, who has had two children
out-of-wedlock, will announce his engagement to South African swimming
champion Charlene Wittstock, 28, tomorrow at the Red Cross Ball in
Monaco..."

Questions: 1) Who is Charlene Wittstock and what is her family
background?

Any black ancestors?

Who cares!

That was - right or wrong - the right answer!

2) Exactly what is she a swimming champion of--
Olympics?
3) If it happens, odds that this may be the marriage
that finally breaks the curse?
4) What would Princess Grace think of her prospective
daughter-in-law?

Thanks all.

From the much and unfairly reviled Wikipedia on Charlene Wittstock:

'Charlene Lynette Wittstock (born January 25, 1978) is a South African
Olympic swimmer and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, who rose to fame
because she was accompanying Albert II, Prince of Monaco at the opening
ceremony of the 2006 Winter Olympics. This fueled speculations that she
could be the new girlfriend of the Prince, and a potential future Princess
of Monaco. They were seen again together at the 2006 Monaco Grand Prix.

'She was a member of the Women's 4x100m Medley South African team at the
2000 Summer Olympics, which finished fifth.'

So I guess there will be no legitimatio per matrimonium subsequens, eh?
