Prince Albert of Monaco and girlfriend Charlene Wittstock quelled rumors their romance was on the rocks by appearing together at a sporting event in Monte Carlo. The pair attended the opening ceremony of the Games of the Small States of Europe, which Monte Carlo is hosting for the first time since 1987.

Onlookers claim they seemed closer than ever, mirroring each other's body language when they arrived at the opening of the bi-annual event, and walking in step with their hands clasped in front of them.

The Hello! Website also reported that Albert, 49 and 29-year-old Charlene were spotted gazing lovingly into each other's eyes.

The couple also appeared to have coordinated their clothing for the event. Her white suit matched his white trousers-and-shirt combination, while her two-tone blue scarf matched his tie.

Charlene's absence from the prince's side at key social events during the first part of this year had led to rumors they were having some relationship problems.

Albert and Charlene were first spotted together at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin and have since enjoyed a string of sporting dates.

South-African Charlene is a former Olympic swimmer while the prince formed a Monaco bobsled team in 1986, before going on to compete in the next five Winter Olympic Games.
