Alexandra, Caroline of Monaco's youngest daughter, tells the truth about her father

Within Monaco's royal family, delicate moments are unfolding that affect several of its members. Caroline of Monaco and her children have been at the center of both public and private attention. Caroline of Monaco's relationship with Ernst von Hannover wasn't easy and, perhaps, it was the seed of what is happening now.

The complexity of their ties reflects how personal and family life can go through difficulties, even in royalty. Some remain close and support each other, while others keep a distance that is felt with every step.

Ernst von Hannover, Son: The Story of Distance

For years, the relationship between Ernst von Hannover and his children Alexandra and Ernst Junior has been practically severed. They haven't seen each other since Christian von Hannover and Sassa's wedding in 2018 and no meetings are expected soon. "They haven't visited the hospital at any time," highlights the situation at the Madrid clinic where their father was admitted.

Ernst von Hannover didn't accept daughter-in-law Ekaterina and didn't attend her wedding in 2017. She did wear the von Hannover tiara at the ceremony. Ernst Jr has four children, but his only son doesn't bear the traditional name due to lack of consent from his grandfather.

The tension began over the management of family properties, the most renowned being Marienburg Castle. It was a living inheritance, but Ernst Jr donated it to the state of Lower Saxony to be managed as a public monument. This decision worsened the distance with Ernst von Hannover, who started legal actions against him and the family disconnection increased.

The Rapprochement That Brings Some Together and Distances Others

His girlfriend Claudia Stilianopoulos and his son Christian have been Ernst's pillar of support during his hospitalization. The arrival of Christian's twins in 2021 marked a significant rapprochement between Ernst and Christian. "Physical closeness has also caused the emotional bond to grow," close sources emphasize.

Meanwhile, Alexandra keeps a close bond with her siblings and her mother Caroline of Monaco. She has traveled to Spain on some occasions to visit her nephews, but her contact with her father is practically nonexistent. The last public image of Alexandra with her father dates back more than 17 years, which shows the long separation between them.

The relationship with her older siblings is solid, but with Ernst von Hannover the situation is different. Alexandra and her siblings navigate between affection and distance, seeking a way to cope with the complex family history.
