Albert decided to go public with the news that he had a child living across the Atlantic Paving the way for a more intimate relationship once the news of Jasmine's paternity was public knowledge she

Gabriella and Prince Jacques from ordinary California girl to monogast royalty Jasmine's Journey not only includes the Revelation that her father is a prince but also the Revelation that her grandmother was none other than screen icon Grace Kelly The Blonde was Hollywood royalty throughout the 1950s starring in two Alfred Hitchcock films and even winning an Oscar in 1955 for her role in the country girl however she would leave it all behind to become true royalty marrying Prince renier III of Monaco acting is a very time-consuming profession to do it well one has to do it completely Prince Albert like his two sisters was a product of the marriage although Jasmine never met her grandmother Grace Kelly has had a profound impact on her life even before she connected with the monogask side of her family Jasmine recalls being dazzled by photographs of her glamorous grandmother telling Harper's Bazaar I love the pictures where she's quirky and smiling she seems so natural and carefree Jasmine discussed her fondness for the late icon reporting that one of her most cherished rooms in Prince Robert's Monaco estate is the late actor's dressing room filled with her old possessions eleven years after Jasmine was born one of Prince Albert's Partners gave birth to a second child a son named Alexander Grimaldi cost born in 2003 the Prince's first son was also born out of wedlock resulting in a sticky situation from mother and father alike unlike Jasmine's birth which was the product of a passionate summer playing Alexander's birth arose out of a multi-year affair between Prince Albert and a French togalese woman named Nicole cost the pair reportedly first met on a flight in 1997 where Nicole was working as a flight attendant and Prince Albert was a passenger in an interview with the Daily Mail Nicole recalled how their Affair began stating when I saw Albert or eyes met and I knew this was different there was definitely an aura around him and we hit it off immediately she said it was the Prince of Monaco who made the first move asking for the flight attendant's phone number the unlikely paradidated for years though the relationship was kept strictly out of the Spotlight by the time the romance had run its course Nicole discovered that she was pregnant although Alexander and Jasmine were born several years apart their entrances into public life happened in quick succession with Prince Albert publicly acknowledging both brother and sister in 2005 and 2006 respectively however while the battle to confirm Jasmine's paternity was mostly kept quiet the drama surrounding Prince Albert's reluctance to publicly acknowledge his son became European tabloid fodder according to the Daily Mail Prince Albert was originally a doting father to the newborn Alexander Nicole cost the prince's former partner and Alexander's mother reports that her old flame provided financial support for both her and her son and even helped change the young Alexander's nappies a time or two however Prince Albert slowly began to disappear from his infant son's life after both private and public urging from Nicole cost including a tell-all interview with Paris match Prince Albert finally recognized his relationship publicly in 2005 after his father's death at the time Alexander was only 23 months old today the father and son are reported to have a happy and healthy relationship bonding through their shared love of sports and passion for politics the father of four even took on the responsibility of throwing Alexander a grand 18th birthday party hosted at the fashionable Jimmy's Club in Monaco surprisingly Prince Albert's two love children seem to have a close Bond despite their age Gap and having grown up in different parts of the world Jasmine who has an active social media presence revealed her close relationship with her half-brother on her Instagram in a now deleted post on Alexander's birthday she shared a sisterly congratulations to her little brother sharing a photo of the two embracing she wrote It's a celebration happy birthday my little brother Alexander despite jasmine growing up in California and Alexander being raised in France adjacent to the Monaco Elite much of their bond can be explained by the fact that the half-siblings underwent similar trials in their early years from DNA tests to scheduled visits to Monaco to unwanted media attention regarding their relationship with their father Jasmine and Alexander have more in common than meets the eye in addition to their similar childhoods it seems both half siblings have decided to pursue careers in Show Business while Jasmine is an active singer and actor the younger Alexander has reportedly been scouted for a career in modeling the South China Morning Post reports that the teenager has been taking advantage of his own Grace kelly-like Jeans by accepting small modeling gigs when he has free time away from school I'm interested in in all creative activity You know despite both Jasmine and Alexander being the first children to be born to Prince Albert neither is in line to inherit the monagasque throne while some may view this as a devastating blow to the prince's illegitimate children Others May see this as a mutually beneficial situation as both Jasmine and Alexander are still expected to inherit significant portions of Prince Albert's personal Fortune according to Yahoo the Erasure of Jasmine and Alexander from the line of succession was not an individual decision made by Prince Albert but was mandated by Monaco's laws each new monarch must be a direct and legitimate descendant of the previous Monarch according to Monte Carlo's official website therefore because neither Tamara Rotolo nor Nicole cost for married to Prince Albert at the time of their children's births these illegitimate children will not Ascend to the throne how however if anything might soothe the blow of commoner status it will be a piece of Prince Albert's billion dollar Fortune some might even regard Jasmine and Alexander's situation as being preferable to that of Prince Albert's official to descendants twins Gabriella and shock unlike the twins the princess eldest children have mostly been able to skirt unwanted media attention as well as chart their own trajectories in life all without losing the financial privilege that comes with being the child of a sitting monarch just as the initial revelation of Jasmine and Alexander's connection to Prince Albert shocked Monaco Society the small principality may be in for another earth-shattering tabloid moment as rumors of a third love child have been circulating in the press the telegraph reported that the Prince of Monaco has been hit with a court case claiming that he fathered a child with an unknown Brazilian woman in 2005. through his lawyer Thierry Lacoste Prince Albert has fervently denied these claims saying are only common is that the purported facts are false and the claims being made by the plaintiff are unfounded while Jasmine and Alexander seem to have settled into a loving Dynamic with their father these new claims of a third love child could perhaps upset the hard-won harmony of Prince Albert's Splendid family according to Tattler court documents claim that the spontaneous Affair between Prince Albert and the woman took place while he was already in a relationship with Princess Charlene though the two wouldn't officially marry until 2011. I think The Party Starts Now this couldn't come at a worse time for the first couple of Monaco as reports have long been swirling that Albert and Charlene's marriage is in Jeopardy still he maintains that any claims of him fathering a third illegitimate child are a hoax however only time will tell how this latest Scandal will resolve
