Princess Stephanie of Monaco has married a Portuguese circus acrobat, the royal palace said, in the latest of a series of turbulent love affairs that have included liaisons with an elephant tamer and a bodyguard.

Stephanie, 38, and Adans Lopez Peres, 29, tied the knot at Eaux-Vives near Geneva on Friday, a spokesman for the palace said on Tuesday evening. The wedding was a private affair, with none of the royal family present.

Stephanie has a reputation as the enfant terrible of the Grimaldi family, often causing concern to her royal relatives.

But the palace press office said her marriage to Peres took place "with the total agreement and good wishes of Prince Rainier who wants only the happiness of his children."

It could not confirm that the princess, a mother of three, was pregnant again.
