<p>Monaco&#8217;s royals were out in force at the annual Rose Ball in Monte Carlo on Saturday, March 27, and for two of the royal couples, love was evidently in the air.</p>
<p>Prince Albert II arrived again this year with both his sister, Princess Caroline, and his longtime partner, South African swimmer Charlene Wittstock. Albert was demonstrative in his affection for Charlene, even kissing her on the cheek as they danced.</p>
<p>The younger generation of Monegasque royals were also in attendance at the Morrocan-themed ball, which helped to benefit the Princess Grace Fund. Pierre Casiraghi, youngest son of Princess Caroline, arrived hand-in-hand with Italian girlfriend Beatrice Borromeo. His brother and sister, Andrea and Charlotte Casiraghi, arrived together without their significant others, Tatiana Santo Domingo and Alex Dellal, though Tatiana and Alex were also spotted attending the ball. Could there be trouble in paradise for these two royal romances?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1563" style="border: 2px solid black;" title="Princess Madeleine and Jonas Bergstrom attend a UN event in Stockholm (19 Nov 2009) [PHOTO: Getty Images]" src="http://royalromance.royalroundup.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/madeleinejonas.jpg" alt="" width="311" height="351" /></p>
<p><em>Expressen</em> writer Johan T. Lindwall wrote recently that Princess Madeleine of Sweden and her fiancé, Jonas Bergström, have been experiencing a rocky patch in their relationship &#8212; one that has actually been going on since before their engagement last summer.</p>
<p>Lindwall writes that the &#8220;deep crisis&#8221; in their relationship &#8220;began in the spring,&#8221; when Madeleine became concerned that career-oriented Jonas was too focused on his work as a lawyer and was not making their relationship a priority.  His proposal in Italy in June was, then, a huge surprise for Madeleine &#8212; and that Jonas had been motivated to ask for her hand when he &#8220;realized he was about to lose his great love.&#8221;</p>
<p>But Lindwall believes that the engagement has not solved all of their problems.  He writes that their romance was &#8220;really shaky&#8221; during the autumn months of 2009 and that Madeleine &#8220;questioned their relationship,&#8221; even going so far as to consider postponing their wedding.</p>
<p>The official date for Madeleine and Jonas&#8217;s wedding has yet to be announced, and the Swedish royals have not commented on the <em>Expressen</em> story.  If there&#8217;s an element of truth to it, let&#8217;s hope that Madeleine and Jonas work out their differences before they walk down the aisle!</p>
