Prince Albert of Monaco travelled to the city of Porto in Portugal to be received as a cancelário
(chancellor) of the Guild of Port Wine Makers. Princess Charlene, his
wife, and Prince Pierre Casiraghi, his nephew, were received as infaçons (candidates for officials).
In the photos on this page, we see them being welcomed by Cancelário
George Sandeman and wearing the traditional mantles, hats and medallions
that characterize the famous guild.
It was a good thing for the Princes of Monaco to enroll in this medieval
guild in order to help support and keep alive an old Catholic tradition
of Christendom.
If more temporal and religious authorities would endorse traditional
institutions instead of rock bands, our society and especially our youth
would have better models to view.
Do encourage local Catholic traditions.
