en.edatv.news, Europa Press Caroline of Monaco Talks to Her Brother about the Two Illegitimate Children
Caroline of Monaco once again makes it straight clear what the traditions and boundaries within the royal family are
Royalty has unwritten rules that are learned by observing gestures, not by listening to speeches. Within the walls of the Palace of Monaco, silences are as valuable as statements. There are gestures that speak louder than any word.
In Monaco, image is everything, especially for Caroline, who has always tried to keep royal traditions. Every appearance, every absence, every measured greeting holds an intention. In such a rigid environment, what is not shown also delivers a powerful message.
An Absence That No One Can Ignore
Jazmin Grace Grimaldi and Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste have been in the public eye for years. Both are children recognized by Prince Albert of Monaco, but born out of wedlock. That circumstance leaves them out of the line of succession.
Caroline of Monaco has never shared public or family events with them. Her absence in photos, events, or celebrations is constant, which has not gone unnoticed. The international press has pointed out this distance insistently, but Caroline has never spoken about it; her stance is kept without the need for words.
A History Marked by Unbreakable Principles
After the death of her husband Stefano Casiraghi in 1990, Caroline fought for the legitimacy of her children. In 1993, she managed to have them recognized by the Church thanks to Pope John Paul II. For her, that achievement was personal and symbolic, as Albert had no legitimate children, so her children were next in line to the throne.
Since then, the concept of "legitimacy" has guided many of her family decisions. For Caroline, they are not just formalities to be fulfilled, but principles that mark the royal tradition of Monaco. For Caroline, the status of her nephews is not just a legal matter; it represents a profound difference that she prefers not to disguise.
Family, Formalities, and Distance
Albert has tried to give visibility to his older children. Jazmin has even attended events like the Princess Grace Awards in New York. But Caroline has never been by her side; Charlene of Monaco has also not built any bond with any of them.
The lack of public encounters confirms that there is a clear line between both worlds, and no one inside the palace seems willing to cross it. In the Grimaldi family, carrying that last name is not enough to have a place. Caroline makes it very clear; even if she doesn't say it with public words, her stance is firm: Jazmin and Alexandre are not part of her circle.
