The Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix brought out several members of the Grimaldi family this weekend. In addition to the appearance of Maria Carolina of Bourbon–Two Sicilies and Jordan Bardella in the VIP stands, where they looked very much in sync, posing for plenty of photos and showing that their unexpected romance appears to be growing stronger, Alexandre Grimaldi, Prince Albert’s son, was also spotted, along with his cousins Louis Ducruet and Camille Gottlieb, both children of Princess Stéphanie.
Cousin Bonding at the Formula 1 Track
Louis Ducruet and his wife, Marie, turned heads in the Monte Carlo paddock this weekend. Princess Stéphanie’s daughter-in-law looked effortlessly chic in a flattering powder-blue ensemble featuring tailored shorts and a short-sleeved cropped jacket, paired with a woven clutch.
