Caroline gets annulment

VATICAN CITY (Reuter) - The Vatican has granted an annulment to Princess Caroline of Monaco of her 1978 marriage to Phillippe Junot.

The Vatican chief spokesman, Joaquin Navarro-Valls, said yesterday a papal tribunal had granted the annulment in February and a second commission had confirmed it. Princess Caroline is free to marry again within the Church, as it never recognised her subsequent civil marriage to the Italian Stefano Casiraghi, killed in a powerboat race in 1990.
