Fairytales have taught us that princesses are like this: beautiful and full of style. Sometimes reality is even better and Monegasque Princess Caroline of Monaco is proof of this. Firstborn of the most beautiful woman in the world, the actress Grace Kelly, and of Prince Rainier, Carolina inherited from her mother all the grace and charm which, even today, remains intact, and which she herself passed down to her daughter Charlotte. She grew up in the principality and spent her youth among family splendor, horse riding lessons, tennis and ballet. The Grimaldi family has always been in the spotlight, a fame that Carolina learned to manage from a very young age, both after the tragic death of her mother, but also when she decided to move to Paris to study at the Sorbonne. Here she meets and marries the banker Philippe Junot, but the marriage is annulled. She marries the Italian champion Stefano Casiraghi for the second time, with whom she will have three children Andrea, Charlotte and Pierre.
However, even the most beautiful fairy tales often have dramatic implications, and when Stefano Casiraghi dies in a nautical accident, it is a hard blow for Carolina. Subsequently remarried for the third time to Ernest of Hanover with whom she had her fourth daughter Alexandra, even today the princess shows off a radiant beauty and exquisite elegance, demonstrating how her age is just a number. Dusting off her album of memories we cannot help but notice her style: the typical codes of the “Old Money” style in her case are never taken for granted, but are dressed each time with always different and unexpected details; from the typical evening looks with the sumptuous taste of the 80s to Chanel couture, from preppy to the influences of the equestrian world, from effortless chic to men’s inspired suits, there is not a photo in which the princess is not splendid, thanks also to the subtle perception of a unique and transversal personality, capable of being at ease both at official dinners and in a swimsuit with a cigarette and bandana in his hair. She is beautiful, free, but above all real. And we’re not just talking about her coat of arms.
