Grace Kelly’s granddaughter Charlotte Casiraghi is pregnant

This is good news for the Monaco royal family as Charlotte Casiraghi is expecting her third child, according to reports.

The daughter of Princess Caroline of Monaco, 36, has a son, Raphaël, eight, who she shares with her ex-boyfriend, Gad Elmaleh, and welcomed her brother Balthazaar, four, with her husband Dmitri in October 2018.

According to the French publication voicePrince Albert’s niece is expected to give birth later this year.

The royal mother-of-two recently described the “liberating” nature of her relationship with her mother since having children of her own, explaining that it opened up an opportunity to “feel closer.”

Charlotte reportedly met Dimitri, a film producer, in Paris shortly after she broke up with Italian filmmaker Lamberto Sanfelice, with whom she has an eight-year-old son, Raphaël.

Rumors of a romance between Charlotte and Dimitri began to surface in early 2017.

One of their first public appearances together was at the civil marriage ceremony of Charlotte’s half-brother, Prince Christian of Hanover, and his wife, Alessandra de Osma, in London in November 2017.

In November, he told City and Country Magazine that paternity has unleashed a ‘transmission of the maternal bond’.

“Of course, you have more empathy and understand more things,” the 36-year-old told the outlet.

“When you become a mother there is the fact that your mother accepts that she is not the only one who is a mother.”

The niece of Prince Albert of Monaco added: “Many women feel they also have that power, to give life, and it’s not something they just owe to their mother.”

Charlotte added that motherhood is “difficult to sum up”, saying: “I think every day has difficult and surprising moments.”

According to the French publication Voici, Prince Albert’s niece is expected to give birth later this year.

“Every day you go through times where you worry about your kids or they exhaust you, and then you go through times where you share so much with them and don’t even question the fact that they are the most important thing in their life.’

Touching more on the ‘complex’ relationships between mothers and daughters, she explained that she tries not to talk about the ‘very private’ relationship with her daughters.

“I don’t necessarily want to reveal everything that goes on between us, but it’s always ambivalent,” she said. “I feel like even when you have kids of your own, you’re still struggling to have your own space.”

Charlotte is the second daughter of Princess Caroline of Hanover and the late Italian businessman Stefano Casiraghi, who died in 1990.
