Nine years ago, Europe witnessed one of its most glamorous society weddings. Pierre Casiraghi of Monaco tied the knot with the stunning Beatrice Borromeo, daughter of an Italian Count and a member of one of Italy’s oldest aristocratic families.
Beatrice and Pierre made headlines with their fairytale wedding. The daughter of Don Carlo Ferdinando of the prestigious Borromeo family, Beatrice had a successful career as a political journalist before marrying into royalty. Pierre, the son of Caroline, Princess of Hanover, and grandson of Grace Kelly, brought his own blue blood pedigree to the union.
With her classic beauty and timeless style, Beatrice has often been compared to her late grandmother-in-law. The resemblance between them is striking, with both women sharing a natural grace and sophisticated style that has captivated the public. The shared lineage through Pierre which connects them, has created a continuation of royal elegance.
Beatrice, now a stylish mother of two, continues to reign as one of the most fashionable European royals. Her love for Valentino, Armani Privé, and Chanel have been lauded by countless style insiders.
