“I don’t particularly like this ‘official representing’ …
I prefer to be free.”
While she may eschew the status, her opulent lifestyle still bears all the hallmarks of royalty.
Charlotte has had to navigate the ups and downs that come with being a Grimaldi title or not.
“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.”
This status also means she has access to a life of luxury that most of us can only imagine.
Casiraghi’s wedding to Rassam, son of French model and actor Carole Bouquet, was no exception.
For the reception, she changed into a more traditional white Chanel dress.
Like Kelly, Casiraghi seems effortlessly chic and has a taste for the finer things in life.
While Casiraghi isn’t a Hollywood star like her grandmother, she sure seems to enjoy show biz events.
It seems Casiraghi’s keen to keep up the family business on-screen and off.
“I thought there had to be space to reflect on them and debate outside of universities.”
The nonprofit has been running since 2015 with Casiraghi serving as president and founding member.
“I received the support of the government and the ministry of education,” she toldBillionaire Magazine.
We love a royal who doesn’t gatekeep.
“Karl Lagerfeld and my mother were extremely close friends,” she toldAlain ElkannInterviews.
“I have memories of Karl since I was a very small girl.”
“It’s almost as if I was born with Chanel,” she said.
“I think of photos of my mom when she was pregnant with me.”
Casiraghi’s had a lot of noteworthy Chanel moments, but her 2023 Met Gala look deserves extra attention.
That year, the theme was “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.”
And then, of course, there was the time she literally rode a horse down the runway.
“Never private schools, but schools with a lot of different social backgrounds.
I wasn’t at a privileged school at all,” she recounted to The Telegraph.
However, she did acknowledge that at the end of the day, she was still a royal.
“It was always difficult having… all that background,” she said.
She and ex-husband Dimitri Rassam also would trek out to their country house in Barbizon, France.
And, of course, there are the family’s various sprawling properties where she’s spent time.
As of 2024, Casiraghi resides in Monaco with her two sons, Raphael Elmaleh and Balthazar Rassam.
For starters, she’s an avid reader who became a curator for Chanel’s book club.
And by all accounts, she has amassed quite a book collection.
“I want to take as many books as I can carry.
When she isn’t poring over some good literature, Casiraghi has been known to enjoy various athletic activities.
At age 24, she was a contender in the 2011 Global Champions tour.
Oh, and when she competed at that event, she wore an ensemble Gucci’s equestrian apparel line.
Regardless of the hobby, this royal makes it as lavish as possible.
Casiraghi also enjoys skiing with her nearest and dearest another not-so-cheap activity.
Oh, and there’s also her lavish wedding ring.
Dimitri Rassam popped the question with a classic diamond solitaire nestled in a tasteful gold band.
Casiraghi clearly loves rocking Chanel jewelry, but that doesn’t mean she won’t work with other brands.
She also released Les Aimants by Charlotte Casiraghi, which features a necklace that runs for $820.
The piece is an exercise in minimalism, with a sleek silver chain holding a circular pendant.
It’s classy and refined, not unlike Casiraghi.
The range also includes bangles of different widths and materials.
The bracelets are all magnetic, which allows the wearer to create a stack if they so wish.
Getting to wear Cartier that belonged to your silver screen icon grandmother is an entirely different ball game.
And it just so happens to be a ball game Charlotte Casiraghi knows well.
Talk about a lovely way to pay tribute to her late grandmother.
And, of course, she sported a collection of glittering jewels across her neck and wrist.
She spent the event with the alwaysfashionable Princess Caroline of Hanoverand Princess Charlene.
Two months prior to the Rose Ball, Casiraghi reportedly split from her film producer husband Dimitri Rassam.
She showed up to the gala without Rassam, wearing what one might call a “revenge dress.”
The ball, established in 1954 by Grace Kelly, raises money for the Princess Grace Foundation.
It is the opulent party to end opulent parties.
Off the track, the race is a fixture in the calendar of high society.
Casiraghi looked effortlessly chic per usual wearing a knitted T-shirt and black miniskirt with her signature Chanel jewelry.
As far as sporting events go, Formula 1 is not exactly for the penny-pinching set.
