Inqlings: Boychoir to perform for royalty

The Keystone State Boychoir, leaving next week for its first European tour, will meet

Prince Albert

in Monaco as the guest choir of the annual Fête de la Musique. One choir boy is

Nick Kelly

, 15, and if the Kelly name surrounding Monaco sounds true, well: His father,

John B. Kelly III

, is a first cousin of the prince, which makes the late

Princess Grace

an aunt. Besides Monaco, the boys will hit France, Germany, Austria and Bulgaria, and in addition to scheduled performances at Disneyland Paris and in the Salzburg Cathedral, they're to sing on July 4 at the U.S. Embassy in Vienna. The choir's "bon voyage" performance will be 12:30 p.m. June 18 at the Church of the Holy Trinity on Rittenhouse Square.
