In 1956, Grace Kelly became the only thing
as glamorous than the Hollywood star she was: a princess. She had three children
with Prince Ranier III of Monaco, and they had 11 children of their own, who carry
on their grandmother's high-class lifestyle. Grace Kelly's eldest grandchild, Andrea Casiraghi,
was born in Monte Carlo on June 8, 1984. He's the son of Kelly's eldest child, Princess Caroline,
and Italian businessman Stefano Casiraghi, who was killed in a boating accident. Although he
does not have a royal title of a royal, Andrea is fourth in line to the throne of Monaco and has the
charm and classic good looks of a Disney prince. He grew up on a picturesque French country estate
and went to school in Paris. Like his father, Andrea is an avid skier, horseman, footballer,
and long-distance runner — and if that's not impressive enough, Hello! notes that he also
speaks French, English, German, and Italian. In 2013, Casiraghi wed New York-born
Colombian billionaire heiress Tatiana Santo Domingo. Insider notes that she's the
granddaughter of a beer brewing mogul and owns an ethical fashion brand. Forbes lists Santo
Domingo as the wealthiest citizen of Monaco, with an estimated worth of $1.7
billion. The couple currently lives in London with their children. Much like his
grandmother was committed to charity work, Andrea is the patron of the Motrice Foundation,
which funds research into cerebral palsy. Born on August 3, 1986, Charlotte Casiraghi is
the daughter of Princess Caroline and Stefano Casiraghi. She's 11th in the line of succession to
the throne of Monaco. Following in the footsteps of her late grandmother, the young royal
oozes Hollywood glamour. As a mother of two, Charlotte says she prefers to live a low-key
life. But she has had a successful career as an international model for luxury brands
including Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. According to Vogue, Charlotte is an
accomplished equestrian who graduated with a bachelor's degree in arts and
philosophy. When she was younger, she spent her summer holidays at the late Karl
Lagerfeld's vacation home on the French Riviera. Lagerfeld helped influence Charlotte's love
of literature. The royal told Town and Country that the fashion icon loved authors such
as Emily Dickinson, adding of Lagerfeld, "He had a passion for certain women writers. It's something he really gave
me access to at a young age." "Something I always found
fascinating of the power of a book, to really transport you in an unknown place." Pierre Casiraghi is Princess Caroline's
third child with Stefano Casiraghi. He's eighth in the line of succession to the
throne of Monaco. Born on September 5, 1987, he studied International Economics and
Management at Bocconi University in Milan, Italy, and is the majority shareholder of his late
father's construction company, Vogue reports. Like his older sister, Pierre is
also an international model who recently became a Dior ambassador. A
Dior press release touted of Peirre, "The Monegasque businessman embodies the new facet of tailoring constantly reinvented
by Kim Jones, a timeless modernity." Jones is the artistic director
for Dior's men's line. Pierre also loves the outdoors; he's on the
management committee of the Yacht Club de Monaco. Vogue notes that he's passionate about sailing
around Monaco, inshore racing and car racing. In 2015, he married Beatrice Borromeo, a political
journalist and model from an aristocratic family. Born on July 20, 1999, in Austria, Princess Alexandra of Hanover is Princess
Caroline's only child with Prince Ernst August of the historic Kingdom of Hanover.
She is a regular fixture at high-end fashion events and, like her older half-sister
Charlotte, loves to attend Fashion Week. Princess Alexandra is a competitive
figure skater. Vogue notes she represented Monaco at the 2015 European
Youth Olympic Winter Festival in Austria. "Monaco is a small country and there is… we're not very many skaters. So I do have
the opportunity and the chance to be here." The young royal is 13th in line for the throne of
Monaco. She's also a descendant of Queen Victoria, which meant she was in line to the British
throne. But Town & Country reports she is no longer eligible because she converted
to Catholicism in 2018. New Idea notes the stylish socialite has been romantically linked to
German basketball player Ben Sylvester Strautmann. Princess Alexandra studied political science
and philosophy at New York University, but has spoken of her aspirations to work
in the fashion industry. She told Telva, "I would like to dedicate myself to
something related to art or fashion. I would buy for others, so I would enjoy
that pleasure but in the background, without feeling guilty. I
would keep the best part." Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella
are twins, born on December 10, 2014. The adorable royals are the children of Prince
Albert II of Monaco, Grace Kelly's only son, and Princess Charlene, a Zimbabwe-born former
Olympic swimmer. The BBC notes they're the first twins born into Monaco's royal family
since it was founded in the 13th century. Jacques is first and Gabriella is second
in line for the throne of Monaco. Their father has two older children from
previous relationships, but they don't qualify for the line of succession
because they were born out of wedlock. Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella
often accompany their parents and cousins on thrilling adventures. Town and Country
reported they tea with France's First Lady Brigitte Macron at Elysée Palace. And
the Daily Mail caught them ceremonially lighting a boat aflame at the Saint Devote
celebrations in Monaco. The stylish young royals regularly feature on their mom's
Instagram page, photographed at events like the Formula One Grand Prix, on luxury
ski adventures, and on fancy beach escapes. Like her paternal grandmother Grace Kelly,
Jazmin Grace Grimaldi is a Hollywood actress passionate about philanthropic projects. Born
on March 4, 1992, in Palm Springs, California, Grimaldi is the eldest daughter of Prince Albert
II of Monaco and American waitress Tamara Rotolo. She's the only American-born grandchild of
Grace Kelly. According to Hello!, it wasn't until Jazmin was 11 years old that a paternity
test confirmed she was Prince Albert's daughter. Jazmin's parents never married, so she
has no place in line to the throne. But she regularly visits Monaco to visit
her father's side of the family. She's particularly close with her cousin
Pauline Ducruet. Harper's Bazaar notes that the pair regularly hang out and
attend film premieres in New York City. Jazmin says she feels an affinity to her famous
grandmother, who tragically died in a 1982 car crash. Jazmin recalled to Harper's Bazaar watching
Kelly in the 1956 musical "High Society," saying, "It was the first time I realized we had
a connection. I'm passionate about acting, singing, and dancing. I saw that in her in this
movie. It was a real goosebumps moment for me." Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste was born on August 24,
2003, in Paris. He's the son of Prince Albert II and former French-Togolese flight attendant
Nicole Coste. According to The New York Times, Alexandre's parents met in July
1997 on an Air France flight from the French Riviera to Paris and were
in a relationship for several years. Like his half-sister Jazmin, Alexadnre
is not in line to the throne. However, since his paternity is officially recognized, he will have the eventual right to part of
his father's billion-dollar fortune. Although Alexandre's birth was initially kept out of
the headlines, Prince Albert later released a statement saying he "has and will continue to
face up to his [parental] responsibilities." In an interview on "Larry King Live" in 2005, Prince Albert confirmed that he knew
Alexandre was his son very early on. "He will have everything he needs and
I'll see him as often as possible." Alexandre has indeed been welcomed
into his father's life and visits Monaco often. In recent years, he and his
mother even attended the prestigious Rose Ball together. He has also caught the
fashion industry's attention and has subsequently been signed as a model,
just like so many of his cousins. Louis Ducruet is the son of Grace Kelly's
youngest child, Princess Stephanie, and her ex-husband Daniel Ducruet. Born Nov 26,
1992, Louis was raised on the beautiful mountain ranges of a small winter sports resort in Auron,
France, according to the Monaco Tribune. After graduating high school, he attended Skema
Business School in Sophia Antipolis, France, in 2011. Hello! notes that it was there
where he met his wife, Marie Chevallier. In November 2022, Louis and his wife
shared some exciting news on Instagram: that they will be expecting their first
child, a girl, in 2023. He captioned the post: "An adventure is about to begin." The couple loves to document their luxurious travels on Instagram from fancy ski
resorts to pristine lakes in Italy. Louis is also a big soccer fan and has
merged his love of sports with business. He signed a two-year contract in 2020 with
England's Nottingham Forest club to become an international soccer scout, Monaco Tribune
reports. According to his Instagram profile, he is also currently the President
of the Monaco eSports Federation. Born May 4, 1994, Pauline Ducruet is
the daughter of Princess Stephanie and Daniel Ducruet. She established the successful
genderfluid and sustainable fashion brand Alter, and her designs have even appeared at Paris
Fashion Week, Variety reports. Pauline told Vogue, "[The brand is based on the idea of
alternating pieces already in our closets, updating staple items like leather and
jean jackets, simple shirts. It's also about the idea of equality between
sexes and playing up alter egos." Before creating her fashion brand, Pauline studied
at the Parsons School of Design in New York. The entrepreneurial royal is active on social
media, using Instagram to promote her brand and share snapshots of her extravagant adventures
around the globe. Besides taking the fashion world by storm, Pauline is also an accomplished
diver who competed in the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics in Singapore and represented Monaco at
the World Junior Diving Championships in Germany. Bearing a striking resemblance to
her late grandmother, Grace Kelly, Camille Gottlieb was born on July 15, 1998. She
is the youngest daughter of Princess Stephanie of Monaco and her former bodyguard Jean
Raymond Gottlieb. Her parents never married, so she is not in the order of succession to the
throne of Monaco, according to Hello Monaco. Gottlieb is close with her older half-sister,
Pauline Ducruet. She often uses Instagram to post snaps of herself and her sister holidaying on
yachts on the French Riviera or at fashion shows. Grace Kelly was known for her philanthropic
efforts, and Gottlieb has the same priorities. Besides living a luxurious lifestyle, Gottlieb
is the founder and president of the Be Safe association, an organization that aims to educate
people about the dangers of drunk driving.
