Prince Albert of Monaco makes surprise visit to restaurant in a small Cheshire village that's home to footballing royalty - without wife Princess Charlene

Prince Albert of Monaco made a surprise visit to a small village in Cheshire known to be home to millionaires and footballers on Friday.

The royal, 66, shocked customers when he was spotted dining for lunch at celebrity hotspot, San Carlo, a restaurant based in Alderley Edge.

Albert looked suave in a smart black trouser suit, crisp white chequered shirt and some highly polished shoes as he posed with his arms around two of the restaurant's managers.

It is unknown why the Prince was visiting the area, which is known as the home of 'Manchester royalty'.
