No Facebook for Charlene's family

Cape Town – Princess Charlene of Monaco's brother Sean spoke to YOU magazine about his sister and royal life in an exclusive interview.

Having received the YOU Spectacular Great South African of the Year award on Charlene's behalf, Sean said the Wittstocks have to maintain decorum at all times so there's no getting tipsy in public.

Sean's phone is also bugged for his protection and he must obey royal rules when it comes to his private life, which means no Facebook or Twitter profiles.

The lives of the Wittstock family took a royal turn when Charlene and Prince Albert's relationship became official six years ago.

Mom Lynette now lives in a five-bedroom house just outside the principality to be close to her daughter. Dad Michael still lives in Benoni, though he has acquired various business interests thanks to his ties to Monaco.

Sean's older brother, Gareth, 29, has been living in Monaco for the past two years and shares a flat near the palace with his British girlfriend.

Sean is in the process of getting a helicopter pilot's licence so he can fly the prince and princess around whenever they're in South Africa.
