Princess Caroline and Family News and Chat

[Jennifer]

Princess Caroline Louise Marguerite was born in the Princes Palace in Monte Carlo, the capital of the small sun-kissed principality of Monaco, on 23 January 1957. The eldest child of Their Serene Highnesses, Rainier III, Prince of Monaco and Grace, Princess of Monaco, she bore the title of Hereditary Princess of Monaco from the time of her birth until the birth of her younger brother, Prince Albert, on 14 March 1958. The family was rounded off on 1 February 1965 with the birth of a second daughter, Princess Stéphanie.

Princess Caroline is a legitimate descendant of the Dukes of Polignac through her paternal family, and as such belongs to the historical French nobility. Through her mother, she is of Irish and German descent. Before the birth of Princess Caroline, the United States consul in Nice, France, requested that the U.S. State Department make a ruling on the citizenship status of the three children. It was reported that the consul was told that the Princely children would be dual citizens of both the United States and Monaco upon their birth.

Caroline was raised in Monaco, but in her youth, the Princess spent some of her time at the home of her maternal grandparents John B. Kelly Sr and Margaret Major in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In an interview for People Magazine in April 1982, shortly before her death, Princess Grace described Princesses Caroline and Stéphanie as "warm, bright, amusing, intelligent and capable girls. They're very much in tune with their era. Besides being good students, they are good athletes – excellent skiers and swimmers. Both can cook and sew and play the piano and ride a horse. But, above all, my children are good sports, conscious of their position and considerate of others. They are sympathetic to the problems and concerns in the world today." As a child, Caroline took ballet lessons at the Marika Besobrasova School of Dance in Monte-Carlo and studied flute, as well as piano.

He added, "For a few years, she hasn't liked having a special celebration for her birthday, so I really don't know how she'll feel about reaching this sort of milestone. She really isn't the type to dwell on it too much."

Yes, well I wish her luck. I don't know what it is with the Monaco royals. Over the last couple of hundred years they have had more miserable marriages and divorces than even the BRF, and that's saying something. Maybe it's a combination of sun and La Dolce Vita! Maybe it's that curse that a witch put on the Grimaldi men centuries ago!
