Prince Albert II of Monaco isn't the marrying kind. Appearing in an interview that aired yesterday on ABC's ``Good Morning America," the prince said that although there are rumors linking him to South African swimmer Charlene Wittstock, he doesn't see marriage in his future. ``I have no plans in the near or distant future," the 48-year-old monarch said. ``Any time I'm seen with a pretty young woman by my side more than once, then everybody flashes the `M' word, as you say," the prince said on the show.

Albert is the second child of Prince Rainier and American film star Grace Kelly and was in Rhode Island over the weekend to attend several events. After stopping at the Carnegie Abbey Club in Portsmouth, R.I., for a world leadership conference, the prince made his way to Newport for the opening- night events of the JVC Jazz Festival in Newport on Friday night.
