Charlotte Casiraghi, Granddaughter of Princess Grace, Reportedly Headed for Divorce From Husband

Charlotte Casiraghi and Dimitri Rassam, part of the royal family of Monaco, are in the center of widespread speculation that they plan to divorce. European media outlets this week claimed that Casiraghi, the granddaughter of Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco, and the only child of Princess Caroline, and Rassam were set to split, but the couple has not yet officially commented.

According to French magazine Voici, it was Casiraghi who initiated the alleged split from Rassam, a producer in the film industry. According to the outlet, Rassam’s busy work life and the extensive travel it demands brought the relationship to a breaking point.

Casiraghi, 37, is an equestrian, model, and brand ambassador for Chanel. She and Rassam, 42, wed in two lavish ceremonies in 2019. They began dating in 2016, and got engaged in 2018. That same year, they welcomed their son, Balthazar, who is now 5 years old. Casiraghi has another son, 10-year-old Raphael, from a previous relationship.

Casiraghi never met her grandmother, Princess Grace, as the iconic Hollywood star-turned-Monagesque royalty died in a car accident four years before Casiraghi was born. However, the contemporary royal often invokes her glamorous late grandmother, including on her wedding day, when she wore a Cartier necklace that had been a gift to Kelly on her 1956 wedding day, and pulled details from some of Kelly’s most famous ensembles to incorporate into her own wedding day look.

Monaco’s monarchs, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene, are Casiraghi’s aunt and uncle. Casiraghi is eleventh in the royal family’s line of succession.

Representatives for Charlotte Casiraghi and the Palaice Princier did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
