the son of Albert of Monaco has a very famous godmother

A family story. On Wednesday August 24, Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste, illegitimate son of Albert II of Monaco, celebrated his 19th birthday. An important event for the princely family, and more particularly for Stephanie of Monaco. The reason ? She agreed to become the godmother of the young man. She had also expressed herself on this subject in the columns of Paris Match in September 2021. “From the start, Albert of Monaco promised to be present and to do what is necessary so that his son is not excluded from the princely clan”had first declared the famous singer, before continuing: “Of course, for me, every child deserves to be fully recognized from birth.”

Unsurprisingly, this gesture on the part of Stéphanie of Monaco had been particularly well received by Nicole Coste, the mother of Alexandre. “As soon as Stéphanie became Alexandre’s godmother, I knew he would have a place in the princely family”she confided in an interview published in the same edition of Paris Match. At the same time, it must be said that the air hostess had given body and soul to convince Albert of Monaco to recognize his son before he is 2 years old. Because even if Alexandre will never be one of the potential candidates for the throne, where only the children of married parents are eligible, Nicole Coste wanted him to find his place in the family. And it’s done!

“Albert has always assumed his role as a father”

Since the birth of Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste, in 2003, Albert II of Monaco has assumed financial responsibility for his illegitimate son. But it was only two years later that the prince officially recognized him. “Albert was committed from the start to being present, to gradually bringing his son into his family (…) Contrary to what some have said, Albert has always assumed his role as a father”, said Nicole Coste. From now on, the young man is an integral part of the family. So much so that he had the right to a huge party for his 18th birthday. “The Palace organized an unforgettable party in honor of Alexander. We are very grateful to them. Everyone cared about himit was touching, had concluded the mother of the young man.
