Take a deep dive inside Princess Caroline’s relationship with her daughter, Charlotte Casiraghi.
Ultimately, Charlotte was pleased with her mom’s decision.
“I’m not a princess,” she declared to French Vogue (viaThe New York Times).
“My mother is, not I. I am the niece of a head of state.
And with this status, I have some representational duties, nothing very constraining or very exceptional.”
Accordingly, with this fierce protection of her kids came an important life lesson from Caroline.
And that’s something my mother has, that sense of effort and discipline."
The couple married the following June.
“And that’s very liberating.
So of course you reflect differently … Because the mother-daughter relationship is very complex.”
However, she declined to expand on the pair’s complex relationship.
In a joint interview with Madame Figaro in 2020, mom and daughter opened up about their bond.
“It’s almost as if I was born with Chanel,” she said, perHarper’s Bazaar.
“I think of photos of my mom, when she was pregnant with me.
Wonderful photos by Karl Lagerfeld, with her wearing Chanel.”
Mom and daughter have also showcased their love of fashion together, appearing arm in arm at glitzy galas.
“That inspired me to pursue different passions.”
Caroline could be seen making affectionate gestures towards her grandson as the royals smiled for the cameras.
Later that year, Caroline and Raphael were spotted posing closely together during the Monaco National Day Celebrations.
“She really raised her kids well.
Without a father for many years, that’s important.
The privacy complaint was ultimately rejected, however.
Speaking to Vanity Fair France in 2016, Charlotte lamented the extent of intrusion into her life.
“That I can be observed at any time, my private life scrutinized.
It’s a breach of my personal freedom.”
