**About Princess Stephanie of Monaco***
AFP - Princess Stephanie of Monaco remarried last week in Switzerland, tying the knot with a Portuguese circus acrobat, a palace source said, confirming reports from several European media outlets.
The source, who asked not to be named, said last Friday's ceremony was "a quiet wedding" and denied reports that Stephanie's father Prince Rainier had been forced to accept the marriage.
"One is led to believe that Prince Rainier accepted this union under duress, which is untrue. He is above all a father who cares about the happiness of his children," the source said.
The palace, when asked for comment, said no statement would be issued.
Stephanie, 38, is nearly 10 years older than her new husband, 29-year-old Adans Lopez Peres, who works for the Swiss circus Knie, according to media reports. Before meeting him, Stephanie was linked to its boss Franco Knie.
German celebrity magazine Die Aktuelle reported that Rainier had been opposed to the union but consented when he learned his daughter was pregnant.
Stephanie, who has gained a reputation as the enfant terrible of the tiny Mediterranean principality's ruling family, has three children - 10-year-old Louis, nine-year-old Pauline and five-year-old Camille - by two fathers.
She was married to her former bodyguard Daniel Ducruet - father of two of her children -- for 15 months but divorced him in 1996 after he was caught by paparazzi having sex by a swimming pool with a Belgian stripper.
