It’s rare to see Princess Stéphanie of Monaco and the entire Grimaldi family together in a single photo. But now it has happened—and certainly in a way you wouldn’t expect.
Rumors of separation, family disputes, corruption—there’s hardly a rumor that hasn’t been said about the princely family of Monaco. The family usually maintains a dignified silence about the speculations that constantly swirl around them. This restraint seems to strengthen their family bond rather than tear it apart. The Grimaldis have shown this impressively once again, especially Princess Stéphanie of Monaco, 59, who seems more committed to family life than ever. While she appeared to be on a journey of self-discovery in her younger years, she now fully embraces family life and supports wherever she can. Her daughter Pauline and her fashion label Alter Designs greatly benefit from this: for a new campaign of the brand, the younger sister of Prince Albert, 66, is shown with her large family—stylish as never before.
Princess Stéphanie of Monaco: The Background of the Family Photo Shoot
She really hasn’t lost her touch! Stéphanie of Monaco captures attention when she wants to and now uses this impressive aura for a very special photo shoot with her loved ones. In new glossy photos, the princess poses next to her daughter Pauline, daughter Camille, son Louis, daughter-in-law Marie, and many more. A family photo like this is rarely seen from the Grimaldis.
Back to the Roots?
Fans of the Monégasques might experience a déjà vu when they see this. It’s not the first time the princess has been professionally photographed. In the 1980s and 1990s, Stéphanie posed as a highly booked model for the world’s most prestigious fashion magazines. Now, nearly 60, she returns to the camera once again. This spring, she was already photographed alongside her eldest daughter. Back then, it was also for a good cause, to support Pauline’s label. Now, it’s happening again, and the 59-year-old is taking the presentation up a notch.
Everyone but Her Siblings: The Entire Monégasque Princely Family in the Portrait
Not only do mother and daughter make an excellent campaign photo, but the other family members also seem to feel perfectly comfortable in front of the camera. Alongside Stéphanie and her children are her ex-husband Daniel Ducruet, his mother Maguy Ducruet, and Albert’s illegitimate son Alexandre Grimaldi. Pauline herself writes on Alter Designs’ Instagram account, “The not-so-classic family portrait.” That’s quite fitting!
