Alexandre Grimaldi: Congratulations from his sister make you sit up and take notice

Alexandre Grimaldi
“My prince”! The congratulations from his half-sister make you sit up and take notice

On August 24, 2023 Alexandre Grimaldi celebrates his 20th birthday. The son of Prince Albert, 65, and Nicole Coste, 51, can also look forward to public congratulations on this special day. His half-sister Jazmin Grace Grimaldi, 31, shares a loving collage of private photos. And sends unusual congratulations.

Alexandre Grimaldi: Half-sister Jazmin Grimaldi congratulates her “prince”

The two half-siblings are separated by a total of eleven years. Jazmin comes from Albert’s liaison with Tamara Rotolo, 61. Despite the age difference, they have a close bond, as evidenced by the 31-year-old actress’s congratulations to her little half-brother. Just in time for his birthday, she shares a collage in her Instagram story. The focus: a photo of Alexandre before the Louis Vuitton fashion show in Paris in June this year.

In addition, Jazmin made different photos of the two siblings in heart and circle cutouts. The pictures often show Alexandre and her in intimate hugs, grinning broadly or cheekily sticking out their tongues. In some photos it is still Jazmin, who hugs her little half-brother – in others it is the now adult Alexandre, who towers over her by a head.

Jazmin writes about the colorful pictures: “My prince turns 20 today! I love you more than words can express. Happy Birthday, brother!” It is unusual for her to refer to her half-brother as a prince – after all, Alexandre is not officially allowed to bear this title. Although he is the son of Monaco’s monarch Albert, he comes from an extramarital relationship. Only Albert’s children with Princess Charlène, 45, may bear this title: Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, both 8.

Not a prince, but a Grimaldi: That’s why Alexandre bears Albert’s surname

Jazmin Grimaldi doesn’t seem too bothered by the princely formalities. Her birthday photos give a private glimpse into the life of Alexandre, who prefers to stay away from the limelight. In a rare interview just days earlier, the birthday boy opened up about his past and his father.

Alexandre explained in an interview with the French magazine “Point de Vue”, among other things, why he bears his father’s last name: he never called himself “Coste” or “Grimaldi-Coste”. “Culturally speaking, if you have been recognized since birth, you carry your father’s name.” , said the 20-year-old. Although he is Albert’s illegitimate son, he recognized him about four months after birth. And that without being “forced” by “a judge or the press”. That’s Alexandre a Grimaldi – and even a “prince” in the eyes of his half-sister Jazmin.
