A tanned and toned lady sits on the beach, smiling while she watches a group of guys punt a ball round in the sand. It's an everyday image – the only difference is that the woman in the bikini and tattoos is Princess Stephanie of Monaco, and one of the footballers is her ex-husband, Daniel Ducruet.

The sporty princess, whose colourful love life frequently makes the headlines, looked relaxed in her favourite environment, chatting amicably with the father of two of her three children in between swimming and sunbathing sessions at a luxury resort in Mauritius.
