Prince Albert was seen being filmed by French director Claude Lelouch as he got into a Ferrari during the shooting of short movie ‘Le grand rendez-vous’ in Monaco today.
The short film is a remake of the director’s 1976 cult high speed drive through Paris, ‘C’était un Rendez-vous’, and sees Monégasque racing driver Charles Leclerc driving through the deserted streets of Monte Carlo in anger.
It comes as lockdown measures taken to curb the spread of the COVID-19 in the Principality are eased, a month after Prince Albert, 62, was reunited with his wife Princess Charlene, 42, and their 5-year-old twins after two weeks in isolation when he came down with the virus at the end of March.

I told [the twins] to be safe. They knew I was sick and that I had to stay away. I’m hoping I get a ‘Welcome Home’ banner.’
The royal palace confirmed Prince Albert of Monaco had tested positive for coronavirus on 19 March – which made him the first known head of state to be infected with the virus.
He was monitored by his personal doctor and by specialists at the Princess Grace Hospital Centre, which is named after his mother Grace Kelly.
