Early life

Along with her two brothers, Andrea and Pierre, she grew up in the tiny Mediterranean principality ruled over by her maternal grandfather, Rainier III of Monaco. When she was four years old, her father was killed in a boating accident. Distraught, Princess Caroline moved the family to the beautiful Midi village of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in France where the children grew up protected from the inquisitive eyes of the press.^[1] Andrea Albert Pierre Casiraghi (born June 8, 1984) is the eldest child of HSH Princess Caroline of Monaco and Hanover and her second husband, Stefano Casiraghi, an heir to an Italian oil fortune. ...

In January 1999, she gained a stepfather when Princess Caroline married her friend's husband Ernst August V, Prince of Hanover. Five months later, Casiraghi's half-sister, Princess Alexandra of Hanover, was born at a clinic in Austria. The family then moved to the Parisian suburb of Fontainebleau, so Princess Caroline and her new husband would have a base closer to his German roots and his children from a previous marriage, who live in London with their mother Chantal Hochuli. Casiraghi continued to pursue show jumping in her new community by participating in a number of Junior and Amateur class equestrian competitions. Her then-trainer, Thierry Rozier, was quoted in the US magazine Newsweek saying that Casiraghi wanted to be seen as a serious show jumping athlete, rather than a socialite.^[4] Ernst August, Prince of Hanover (German: Ernst August Albert Otto Rupprecht Oskar Berthold Friedrich-Ferdinand Christian-Ludwig Prinz von Hannover, in English also known as Ernest Augustus of Hanover) (born 26 February 1954 in Hanover, Lower Saxony, Germany) is the eldest son of Ernest Augustus IV, Prince of Hanover (1914...

Personal life

Casiraghi's first public romance was with European aristocrat Hubertus Herring Frankensdorf, presumably from 2001 to 2002, yet they were also seen in early 2004 together. The two were spotted in 2001 at Monaco's Grand National Prix and in 2002 with Casiraghi's family on a skiing holiday in Zurs, Austria.

Casiraghi was in a relationship with Felix Winckler, the son of a Brussels-based international attorney, from 2004 to late 2006 or early 2007. The popular Italian magazine, Novella 2000, broke the news that Casiraghi and Felix have parted ways after three years of romance. Felix was always seen with Casiraghi and whether they were skiing in Austria or aboard Princess Caroline's yacht, PACHA III, they were always very affectionate. Casiraghi is very close with Felix's sister, Cecile, who introduced Felix to Casiraghi in 2003.Casiraghi is a private person, but occasionally attends official functions. Since childhood, she and her brothers have made regular appearances with their family on occasions such as the Monaco National Day and the Monaco Grand Prix; however, Princess Caroline has tried to minimize publicity in spite of the increasingly intense interest of Europe's mass media.^[5] The Monaco Grand Prix (Grand Prix de Monaco) is a Formula One race held each year on the Circuit de Monaco. ...

Nowadays, Casiraghi is photographed at fashion shows,^[10] art exhibits, and other high-profile events. Two of her most notable appearances were the occasion of Monaco's Rose Ball (Bal de la Rose), an annual event to raise money for the Princess Grace Foundation^[11] and the occasion of her 18th birthday "champagne and fireworks gala" at La Vigie, her mother's luxurious villa on the French Riviera.^[12] 450 people, including designers Karl Lagerfeld, who designed Casiraghi's one-of-a-kind gown, and Christian Louboutin were invited.^[13] The Quai des États-Unis in Nice on the French Riviera at night. ...
