Meet the Fresh Face of Monaco: Alexandre Grimaldi, Prince Albert’s Eldest Son, Gives His First Solo Interview Exclusively in the December Issue of Tatler

TATLER: He’s the grandson of Grace Kelly, the eldest son of Prince Albert II of Monaco, and for 20 years he has kept his life private. Now, Alexandre Grimaldi is ready to talk.

A VERY MODERN ROYAL: ALEXANDRE GRIMALDI, DRESSED IN DIOR MEN, IS REINVENTING MONACO'S ROYAL FAMILY FROM THE INSIDE
TATLER: He’s the grandson of Grace Kelly, the eldest son of Prince Albert II of Monaco, and for 20 years he has kept his life private. Now, Alexandre Grimaldi is ready to talk. He tells Eilidh Hargreaves how he really feels about his royal roots, growing up in Knightsbridge and finally going public

A butler approaches a quiet table at the Four Seasons hotel in downtown New York, where a prospective resident of the city is talking about his father. He can tell my tablemate is special – the pristine cream outfit, the beautifully twisted braids, the gentle poise that denotes power – and can’t help but cut in. ‘So are you an actor or a musician or..?’ ‘No, I’m not,’ the young man responds in a voice so soft you have to lean in to hear. ‘Where are you from?’ the butler persists. ‘Monaco,’ replies Alexandre Grimaldi, with graceful finality.

It’s a moment of high comedy. With royal composure and Hollywood looks, Alexandre – Alex, really – is the fresh face of the House of Grimaldi: the son of Prince Albert II of Monaco and his former secret girlfriend, Nicole Coste; grandson of Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly. At 20 years old, gently fist-bumping friends in the lobby, he is a very modern Monegasque ambassador. And now, sitting forward in Nike Air Forces and a Y-3 tracksuit for his first solo interview, he’s ready to talk. » | Eilidh Hargreaves | Wednesday, October 25, 2023

MADAME FIGARO : À l'occasion du Monaco E-Prix, la princesse s'est octroyée, samedi 30 avril, sa première sortie officielle entourée de sa famille. Une grande première depuis quinze mois.

Le 12 mars dernier, Charlène de Monaco faisait enfin son retour en principauté après plusieurs mois passés dans un établissement spécialisé. Le 17 avril, on la voyait posant auprès de son mari et de ses enfants, sous une végétation luxuriante, à l'occasion de la fête de Pâques. Près de deux semaines plus tard, la princesse de Monaco poursuit sa convalescence auprès de sa famille et se permet désormais des sorties officielles. Une première depuis quinze mois. Samedi 30 avril, elle a été aperçue au Monaco E-Prix, en compagnie du prince Albert et de ses jumeaux Jacques et Gabriella. La famille assistait à la remise de prix du tournoi automobile, qui a sacré le pilote belge Stoffel Vandoorne. » | Par Léa Mabilon | dimanche 1 mai 2022

Le mystère Charlene de Monaco

MADAME FIGARO : De retour d'Afrique du Sud, l'épouse du prince Albert a été admise dans un centre de soins en dehors de Monaco. Assez pour relancer les rumeurs autour de ses neuf derniers mois loin du Rocher. Et pour interroger le bonheur d'une princesse qui n'a jamais semblé à l'aise sous sa couronne.

«Son Altesse Sérénissime la princesse Charlene de Monaco a dû subir plusieurs interventions compliquées après avoir contracté une grave infection otorhinolaryngologique en mai», disait le premier communiqué officiel du palais de Monaco, diffusé à la presse le 25 juin. Il justifiait alors la future absence de l'épouse d'Albert II pour les 10 ans de mariage du couple, le 2 juillet. Depuis, les choses n'ont fait qu'empirer. Charlene a de nouveau subi plusieurs opérations (peu détaillées) ; elle a également fait un aller-retour aux urgences de l’hôpital Netcare Alberlito, à KwaZulu-Natal, après un malaise dans son pavillon de Durban.

Sur les photos avec Albert et leurs enfants, Jacques et Gabriella, qui sont venus lui rendre visite fin août, puis sur une autre, la montrant avec le roi Misuzulu, chef de la communauté zouloue, elle apparaît fatiguée, amaigrie, le regard fuyant. Derrière les faits, les rumeurs les plus folles. Pour Voici, Charlene connaîtrait de vives tensions avec son mari - «Tout le monde commence à croire qu'elle ne rentrera pas», aurait confié un «initié» au magazine. De son côté, le Daily Mail s'empresse de publier un article sur une obscure malédiction qui toucherait les Grimaldi : au XIIIe siècle, une jeune Flamande kidnappée par Rainier Ier se serait vengée en jeter un sort sur sa descendance : aucun ne vivrait un mariage heureux. Fin juillet, Stéphane Bern signe un grand papier dans Paris Match, avec ce titre, explicite : «Charlène et Albert au bord de la rupture ?». » | Par Marion Galy-Ramounot | vendredi 19 novembre 2021

MADAME FIGARO : Le retour tant attendu d'Afrique du Sud. En effet, c’est ce lundi 8 novembre que la princesse Charlène a foulé la terre monégasque et a enfin retrouvé son époux, Albert II de Monaco et ses enfants, Jacques et Gabriella.

Le Rocher a enfin retrouvé Charlène de Monaco, absente depuis février dernier. C'est via le compte Instagram du palais princer que l'on a appris la nouvelle : on peut y voir trois clichés de la princesse, en compagnie de ses deux enfants Jacques et Gabriella, et de son époux, Albert II de Monaco. Dans une interview accordée au magazine Point de vue le 4 novembre, ce dernier s'était prononcé sur le retour de sa compagne, en mentionnant qu'elle reviendrait probablement avant la fête nationale monégasque, soit le 19 novembre. Un souhait qui s'est donc réalisé. » | Alice Mascher | lundi 8 novembre 2021

Princess of Monaco Rushed to Hospital in South Africa

MONACO LIFE: Princess Charlene is in a “reassuring state” after being admitted to hospital in South Africa and later released, the Palace has confirmed.

Just days after saying goodbye to her husband Prince Albert and children Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella who were in South Africa for a brief visit, Princess Charlene was rushed to hospital on Wednesday night after collapsing.

Following widespread media reports of the late-night dash to the emergency room, the Prince’s Palace issued a statement Friday evening confirming the Princess’ health situation: » | Cassandra Tanti | Saturday, September 4, 2021

Hashtag Monaco: “Influencers Add the Human Touch to Luxury”

Screenshot, taken from article, of Olga Lavric, “digital influencer”, based in Monte Carlo.
MONACO LIFE: They document their lives and passions online, and with that comes a new way to showcase Monaco. Olga Lavric and Milana Chigridow are digital influencers, giving their hundreds of thousands of followers a unique glimpse of what life looks like in the fabled Principality.

It’s the perfect destination to post about. Famous architectural masterpieces, luxury superyachts in the harbour, and all those fast cars. Of course, we’re talking about Monaco.

The Principality is a favourite when it comes to social media. On Instagram alone, there’s more than seven million posts with the hashtag “monaco”. But if on the one side there are occasional vacation posts by the hoards of visitors each year, on the other there’s a community of influencers who work all year around to share all-things-Monaco.

Five years ago, Olga Lavric found herself with no job and a suggestion from her husband: “You are following a lot of fashion/beauty bloggers. Why not start your personal blog?”. At first, she was indecisive, not knowing how her work situation would evolve, but then she knew she had to take the risk. “In the end I said: ‘Why not? Better to try than to regret later’. Now I’m more than happy to do what I really love. For me this is a dream that came true,” Olga tells Monaco Life.

Olga’s job goes from answering emails to organising photo shoots, preparing outfits, editing photos and videos or attending events. Apart from that, she drinks her coffee in the morning and spends time with her family and friends, just like everyone else. “I have a normal life as everyone else does, with little exceptions,” she explains. » | Rita Meireles | Tuesday, August 10, 2021

Grace Kelly - Mythos Monaco

The Story behind Monaco’s Relationship with the Vatican

MONACO LIFE: Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State to the Holy See, has visited the Principality to celebrate the 40th anniversary of privileged relations between the two states.

In July of 1981, the Holy See and Monaco signed a convention which stated that the Prince of Monaco was willing to renounce rights to appoint the archbishop of the local diocese, leaving it to Rome to fill the spot. This concession led Pope John Paul II to elevate Monaco to the rank of archepiscopal see.

To commemorate this occasion, Cardinal Pietro Parolin paid a three-day visit to the Principality, notably the second smallest state in the world after Vatican City, and amongst other ceremonial events, presided over a papal mass held on Sunday at the Cathedral of Monaco on the Rock.

He spent the afternoon meeting priests and parishioners, as well as celebrating the office of Vespers. » | Stephanie Horseman | Monday, July 19, 2021

When Will Monaco Reach Herd Immunity?

MONACO LIFE: Just over 40% of the eligible population in Monaco are still unvaccinated as health authorities in nearby France warn of a possible “fourth wave” by the end of July.

The latest data by the Prince’s government shows that, as of 1st July, 20,178 people in Monaco had received at least one dose of the Covid vaccine, equivalent to 58.6% of the eligible population aged 12 and older. Of those, 88% had also received their second shot.

While the figure places Monaco high in the chart of vaccination rates per country – the United Arab Emirates has a vaccination figure of 64%, followed by Chile with 57% and the UK at 50% – it does mean that close to 40% of the eligible population in Monaco is still unvaccinated, despite ample supplies.

Health authorities are continuing their push for everyone over the age of 12 to take advantage of Monaco’s vaccination programme, which uses Pfizer exclusively. As of 28th June, even cross-border workers employed in the public sector are now able to access the free shot. » | Cassandra Tanti | Wednesday, July 7, 2021

Monaco Bans Smoking and Vaping on Beaches

MONACO LIFE: The government has decided to make all beaches in the Principality non-smoking this summer for the comfort of beach-goers and to protect the environment.

For over a decade, the Principality has run the ‘Monaco Plage Propre’ campaign, providing sun-seeking smokers with free self-service ashtrays to keep the beaches clean.

But on Thursday, the government announced that it will ban smoking altogether on beaches from this Saturday 26th June to Thursday 30th September. » | Cassandra Tanti | Thursday, June 24, 2021

Monaco: Princess Stephanie Vows to End AIDS by 2030

MONACO TRIBUNE: Princess Stephanie has once again shown her support, and Monaco’s determination, in the fight to end this disease.

End inequalities, end AIDS. An ambitious goal, but one the United Nations aim to meet by 2030, as discussed in the high level meeting held by the Joint UN Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) this week.

Taking place from the 8 to 10 June, Isabelle Picco, the permanent representative of Monaco at the United Nations in New York, chaired the meeting, whilst Princess Stephanie addressed the group. During the two-day long discussions, Princess Stéphanie shared a video message with the participants. In her speech, she claimed that the HIV and Covid-19 epidemics are very real examples of the need for stronger healthcare systems.

She also took a moment to praise the new global strategy devised by UNAIDS, which focuses on prevention and reducing inequalities, particularly amongst key populations. » | Alexis Gertaldi | Wednesday, June 16, 2021

Monaco: Prince Releases Rare Juvenile Seahorses into Wild

MONACO LIFE: Prince Albert has helped to release seven adolescent seahorses into the wild as part of a project to repopulate the quickly dwindling species.

It comes as the first conclusions of a new study about the seahorse population in Monegasque waters carried out by the Prince Albert II Foundation, the Oceanographic Museum and its Monegasque Centre for the Care of Marine Species (CMSEM), the BIOTOPE design office, along with expert in European seahorses Patrick Louisy have been released.

Seahorses are considered to be “near-threatened” by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the global authority on the status of the natural world and the measures needed to safeguard it. This status means the natural populations are in decline and could become extinct altogether if nothing is done to rectify the situation. » | Stephanie Horsman | Thursday, June 17, 2021

Prince Albert of Monaco Weighs In on Harry and Meghan's Interview: 'It Did Bother Me’

TATLER: The son of Grace Kelly opened up during an interview with the BBC

Prince Albert II of Monaco has become the first royal to speak out about the bombshell interview that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex gave to Oprah Winfrey at the beginning of the month, telling the BBC that it 'did bother [him] a bit'.

Speaking to journalist Yalda Hakim about his environmental work, including the need to preserve the planet's marine ecosystems, he was asked for his take on the royal drama.

'This kind of display of public dissatisfaction, to say the least, these type of conversations should be held within the intimate quarters of the family. It doesn't really have to be laid out in the public sphere like that,' he says. 'So it did bother me a little bit. I can understand where they are coming from in a certain way but I think it wasn't the appropriate forum to be able to have these kinds of discussions.' » | Rebecca Cope | Friday, March 26, 2021
