Prince Albert’s illegitimate son Alexandre Grimaldi was already seen at Milan Fashion Week with a special lady by his side: Savannah Hennessy. Now, the model and influencer have appeared together again.
Alexandre Grimaldi, 20, usually relies on his serious demeanor. Since stepping into the spotlight, the illegitimate son of Prince Albert, 66, has maintained a cool and casual persona. However, one person manages to make him smile: Savannah Hennessy. Alexandre hinted at being in a relationship during a December 2023 interview with “Tatler,” but he did not reveal who had captured his heart.
In Milan, Alexandre publicly displayed his young love with Savannah for the first time. Although they have not officially confirmed their relationship, the evidence continues to build. According to “The Daily Mail,” the 20-year-old and the daughter of Kilian Hennessy, 52, attended the “Goodwood Festival” in West Sussex together. The event, known as the “ultimate summer garden party of motorsport,” perfectly aligns with Grimaldi’s tastes.
Alexandre Grimaldi: Girlfriend Savannah is a Descendant of Kilian Hennessy
As the British newspaper explains, Prince Albert’s son was photographed dining with Savannah. They were not alone: besides an unknown male companion, the horse enthusiast’s mother, Melonie Forster Hennessy, also accompanied the young couple. Could this aspect confirm the relationship? After all, meeting the parents of a potential partner is a significant step. The photo shown by “Daily Mail” features Alexandre with a charming smile. The 20-year-old is dressed in an elegant dark blue suit, while Savannah appears reserved in the photo, and her mother wears a rather resigned expression.
“It’s going very well. We met in Monaco. I’m moving to New York; she has already moved to New York,” Grimaldi stated in the “Tatler” interview. His partner must bring “loyalty and honesty” as well as “care and understanding.” Savannah Hennessy seems to possess these qualities: she is the daughter of Kilian Hennessy, a grandson of the French businessman Kilian Hennessy. Thus, Savannah comes from a family of successful entrepreneurs and is likely to move in select high society circles.
In a May 2023 interview with “GQ,” 52-year-old Kilian Hennessy reminisced about his late grandfather, who took over the family cognac brand as CEO after World War II and rebuilt it. Today, Kilian runs his own company, “Kilian Paris,” which sells luxury perfumes. “He was an important part of my upbringing […] He shared my name, Kilian. My grandfather greatly influenced me in many ways, including how he loved his wife and how he conducted himself,” Hennessy told “GQ” about his grandfather. He has a close relationship with his daughter Savannah. In March 2024, she gushed on Instagram for his birthday: “You are much more than just a father, you are my hero […] and my best friend. Your wisdom, unconditional love, and strength inspire me every day.”

On Instagram, Savannah calls herself a “professional Cinderella,” projecting a fairy-tale image of her life. About 11,000 users follow the young woman, including Alexandre Grimaldi. Maria Chiara di Borbone delle Due Sicilie also follows Savannah. Chiara, a member of the former royal family Borbone, which ruled Southern Italy and Sicily in the 18th and 19th centuries, is rumored to be involved with Danish heir to the throne, Prince Christian, 18. Although Chiara firmly denied these rumors, she stated, “We have known each other since childhood,” highlighting the exclusive circles Savannah Hennessy moves in.
Alexandre’s girlfriend aims to make a name for herself as a model and actress. She graces red carpets from Monaco to Paris and, like at Milan Fashion Week, is among those who receive coveted invitations from renowned designers. In her free time, she rides horses and travels through Europe.
It is unknown how long Grimaldi and Hennessy have been a couple, whether they have a shared apartment in New York, or what plans they have for their future. However, following their initial joint appearances, Alexandre and Savannah seem to be gradually stepping into the public eye with their relationship.
