Caroline, Princess of Hanover

Caroline, Princess of Hanover (German: Caroline Prinzessin von Hannover), Caroline Louise Marguerite von Hannover, styled Her Royal Highness The Princess of Hanover, formerly Mme Stefano Casiraghi, formerly MmePhillippe Junot and née Grimaldi, born 23 January 1957) is the eldest child of Prince Rainier III of Monaco and his American film star wife, Grace Kelly. She is the second wife of Prince Ernst August of Hanover and, since her father's death on April 6, 2005, has been again heir presumptive to the throne of Monaco (she was in 1957 and 1958 between her own birth and the birth of her younger brother), bearing the title Her Serene Highness The Hereditary Princess of Monaco.

First marriage

Princess Caroline's first husband was Philippe Junot (1940), a Parisian banker. They were married on June 29, 1978, and divorced in 1980, a period of time that had been predicted by the bride's mother, who disapproved of Junot's age and his reputation as a playboy. In 1992, the Roman Catholic Church granted the princess an annullment.
