Charlotte Casiraghi is the daughter of Princess Caroline and the granddaughter of Princess Grace and Prince Rainier Grimaldi of Monaco. Her father was Caroline's second husband, the Italian industrialist Stefano Casiraghi, who died in a speed-boating accident in 1990. An enthusiastic horsewoman, Charlotte is popular with paparazzi and society reporters, who find her stylish good looks to be reminiscent of her mother and grandmother.

Extra credit: Casiraghi has two brothers, Andrea (b. 1984) and Pierre (b. 1987); her half-sister, Alexandra, was born in 1999 to Caroline and her new husband Prince Ernst of Hanover... Charlotte has not been given the title of princess (an attempt by her mother to give her daughter a more normal life) but she is technically in line to inherit the throne of Monaco, behind her uncle Prince Albert, her mother, and her older brother Andrea.
