Carla Bruni, the Italian singer dubbed as man eater by the French press for her manizing (if men can be called womanizer, why not?) nature will  put the Indian government officials in deep protocol trouble if she accompanies her beau Nocolas Sarkozy on his official visit to India to attend the 58^th Republic Day.

It is learnt that, while Indian government has every protocol to honor the wives of visiting foreign dignitaries including head of states, they do not officially have protocols for girl friends of those dignitaries. There has been a well documented whirlwind love story between the French President and the sexy Italian beauty. President Sarkozy has openly acknowledged his deep love for Bruni since he met her in a party in November. Since then they have been romancing around among the Pyramids of Egypt and Petra in Jordan. It is reported that Bruni has already moved in with Sarkozy in the French Presidential Palace. According to a recent report in the French daily Liberation, they are planning to tie the knot soon.

Ironically, the protocol problem faced by India is not isolated. The Egypt government were embarrassed with their State Guest bringing his unmarried girlfriend on an official visit and termed their initial stay in the country as private visit. Saudi Arabia has also told the French not to send their President accompanied by his girl friend. According to London tabloids, Queen Elizabeth is now pondering over whether to assign a single bedroom for Sarkozy and Bruni when she hosts them in March.
