Charlotte Marie Pomeline Casiraghi of Monaco (born in 3 August 1986 at the
Princess Grace Clinic in Montecarlo, Monaco) is the daughter of HSH Princess
Caroline of Monaco (now Princess of Hanover) and her second husband, Stefano
Casiraghi, an Italian industrialist. She is named for her maternal great-grandmother,
Princess Charlotte of Monaco. Popular with paparazzi and society reporters,
who find her stylish good looks to be reminiscent of her mother and maternal
grandmother, Grace Kelly. Although she has not been given the title of
princess (an attempt by her mother to give her daughter a more normal life),
she is fourth in line to the throne of Monaco.

Along with her two brothers-Andrea, who is two years older, and her younger
brother, Pierre born a year after her- grew up in the tiny Meditterenean
principality ruled over by her maternal grandfather, Rainier III of Monaco.
But when she was four years old, tragedy stroke by the death of her father
in a boat-accident.
Distraught, Princess Caroline moved the family to the beautiful Midi village
of Saint Remy-de-Provence in France where the children grew up protected
from the inquisitive eyes of the press. It was there that Charlotte learned
to ride horses, a sport at which she excels today.
Then, in January 1999, Charlotte's life changed again. After almost a decade
without a paternal figure, she gained a stepfather when Princess Caroline
married longtime family friend Ernst August V, Prince of Hanover. Seven
months later, a little half-sister, Princess Alexandra of Hanover, was born
at a clinic in Austria. The family then moved to the Parisian suburb of
Fontainebleu, so Princess Caroline and her new husband would have a base
closer to his German roots and his children from a previous marriage, who
live in London with their mother Chantal Hochuli.
Fluent in French, Italian, English – she also speaks a smattering of German,
as befits her new status as a stepchild of one of the foremost German
princelings – Charlotte has grown into a self-assured teenager.
Charlotte also lists skiing, snowboarding and swimming as hobbies.An she is
a keen horsewoman. She appears to be inheriting her mother's inherent style
and has begun to accompany Caroline on official engagements in Monte Carlo.
She obtained an "excellent"(tres bien)mark on her baccalaureate exam in July
2004. Presently, she is enrolled in the Hypokhagne Course at the Lycee
Fenelon,St. Germain-Paris,in order to prepare herself for the Ecole Normale
Superieure(Paris)entrance exams.
