There are decisions that don't require drastic breaks to be significant. Sometimes, a change in professional direction is enough to mark a turning point. One of the most discreet women in the Grimaldi circle has taken a step that has surprised many.
Although it doesn't affect her personal connection to royalty, it does redefine her role within the institutional ecosystem of the Principality. Marie Chevallier, wife of Louis Ducruet, son of Stéphanie of Monaco, has put an end to a chapter that has lasted more than a decade.

Until recently, she was a regular figure at the Société des Bains de Mer de Monaco, the iconic hotel group linked to the Grimaldi family. There, she played key roles in the event organization area.
However, she has chosen to close that chapter of her professional life, a decision she has announced publicly through her Instagram account. "After several years full of emotions, exciting projects, and inspiring encounters, it's time to turn the page."
A message in which she also expressed her gratitude to those who have accompanied her during that stage. "Thank you to everyone who has crossed my path, supported my ideas, shared their energy, and helped write this beautiful chapter."
Far from leaving the world of events, Marie has decided to fully dedicate herself to her own business project: IAM (Imagine & Make). A company focused on the creation and production of personalized experiences.

In Marie's own words, this is a project she carries out alone and with a clear vision. "I like working alone, being in my own corner. I build my own network of service providers."
"Sometimes I collaborate with other people on certain projects, but my company is my own project," she stated in Point de Vue. Despite this professional shift, she says she feels supported by those closest to her.
"Louis is my greatest support, he encouraged me to start this journey. He believes in me a lot and thinks I have a lot of talent. My mother and my siblings are also my pillars, as are my parents-in-law," she confessed sincerely.
Since their wedding in 2019, Marie and Louis have formed a family with the arrival of their daughters Victoire and Constance. Now, while she strengthens her role as a mother, Marie is also forging her path as a solo entrepreneur.
This professional change for Marie Chevallier coincides with another key moment within the Grimaldi family: the official retirement of Stéphanie of Monaco. The sister of Prince Albert recently stepped down from her duties in the Principality's public service.
Thus, while one generation says goodbye to the professional spotlight, another begins to build their own path. A quiet transition, but one that shows how roles within the Monegasque family are evolving over time.
