Almost two decades after being officially recognized as Albert II’s son, Alexandre Grimaldi is now a college student. He may not be seen living as lavish a life as other Monaco royals like Grace Kelly look-alike Camille Gottlieb, but he does consider himself fortunate to have parents who support him fully. Not letting it go to his head, the college student told Point de Vue that he is focused on studying and obtaining a diploma because, after all, he is at “the age when you make choices. These can be good or bad depending on the background you have and those around you. I think I’m certainly a reasonable person.”
Reasonable enough to weigh his current choices against his future dreams, Alexandre remarked that he once thought about being a model and was even approached by a client but that he changed his mind after reflecting on the career move during the pandemic. And what about that whole kind-of-sort-of being royalty thing? “I’m only 20. Let me get my diploma, and we’ll talk about it,” Alexandre told the publication.
However, he went on to say, “My father’s name is Grimaldi. It makes sense that I bear his name,” going on to clarify that he never goes by “Coste or Coste-Grimaldi” and dislikes being referred to as “illegitimate” (who wouldn’t?!). He might still live at home with his mom and two elder half-brothers, but his father is HSH, and you would do well not to forget it.
