Prince Albert of Monaco makes trip to Scottish Island

Prince Albert of Monaco stunned daytrippers to a Scots isle - by joining them on their FERRY.The billionaire Royal and his VIP pals snubbed a quick helicopter ride to Arran for a friend's party, and took to a CalMac boat instead.Bosses ordered a security sweep before the prince, 52 - set to wed South African beauty Charlene Wittstock, 32 - boarded at Ardrossan.

But one passenger said: "There was no fuss. If I'd not spotted him I'd never have known Royalty was on board." He made the trip on Thursday for Lady Jean Fforde's 90th birthday at Brodick Castle. An islander said: "He's been coming since he was little."

CalMac, the owners of the Ferry, said it would be "inappropriate" to comment.
