E LOOKS like any other
carefree teen enjoying
himself on a beach in the
sun-drenched south of
France – but the blood
running through his
veins puts him a cut
above the rest.
The handsome teen is the love child
of Prince Albert of Monaco, the product
of his romance with the boy’s mother in
thelate’90s and early 2000s.

riedCharlene Wittstock in 2011 and the
estrangement deepened when the cou-
ple welcomed twins Jacques and Gabri-
ella in 2014, according to Nicole (47).
Alexandre, who lives with his fashion
designer mom in London, holds no title
and isn’t in line to the throne – that hon-
our goes to Albert’s legitimate kids only.
But the teenager is included as an
heir to Albert’s personal fortune, esti-
mated at more than €2 billion (R31bn),according to the European Convention
of Human Rights.
And he isn’t the only out-of-wedlock
child entitled to a slice of the substantial
pie. Albert (61) also has an illegitimate
daughter, Jazmin Grace Grimaldi (27) –
a young woman who appears to have
inherited something else from her pater-
nal family: her late grandmother Prin-
cess Grace’s passion for acting.
Jazmin recently landed a role in sea-
son 3 of the hit comedy series The Mar-
velous Mrs Maisel and took to Instagram
to pay tribute to both her grans.
“In light of recent acting work I
couldn’t help but walk down memory
lane and draw inspiration from my
beautiful grandmothers, Grace and Jean.
Miss and love you both.”
Social media users were quick to point
out Jazmin is also blonde and gorgeous- not unlike her famous grandma, who
set Hollywood alight in the ’50s before
giving it all up to marry Prince Rainier.
