Princess Charlene can't believe it

Jazmin Grace, born from Albert's relationship with Tamara Rotolo, and Alexandre, son of Albert and Nicole Coste, aren't figures who attend events linked to the royal house. In fact, their presence at the Grand Prix was a complete surprise.

Their relationship with the royal family has been the subject of speculation. Especially because of their limited connection with close members like Princess Charlene or Princess Caroline. This has caused divided opinions about their place in the family.

Prince Albert, who publicly acknowledged his children born out of wedlock in 2005 and 2006, has always kept a delicate balance between his family life and his official responsibilities. This situation has created constant tension within the royal family.

Although the children born out of wedlock don't threaten the succession, their presence at family events is controversial. This has sparked debate about their place in the monarchy.

Albert of Monaco's children are closer than ever

During their visit to Monaco, Jazmin Grace and Alexandre also took the opportunity to attend the presentation of a collection designed by Pauline Ducruet, daughter of Princess Stéphanie. This family collaboration showed a closer side among the family members.

However, the relationship with the royal family remains tense, particularly with Princess Charlene. The friction between Charlene and her husband's two children has intensified over the years, especially after the publication of Nicole Coste's statements.

Albert's ex criticized the princess for how she had treated her son. She mentioned that he was assigned a bedroom in the staff area of the palace before Charlene married Albert. Prince Albert described the words as "inappropriate," but the tension remains.

Despite the distance from some family members, Jazmin Grace and Alexandre Grimaldi keep showing a close bond between them. Their recent reunion in Monaco highlights that their relationship isn't affected by these internal tensions.
