The Rebel Princess of Monaco
Stephanie of Monaco, the youngest daughter of Rainier and Grace Kelly, has been a controversial figure in Monegasque royalty. Her love life has been marked by scandals and tumultuous romances that have captured the world’s attention. From her passionate teenage encounters to her failed marriages, Estefania has defied royal conventions and kept the paparazzi in awe.
Youth and Scandalous Romances
At the young age of 17, Estefanía began a series of love affairs that captured the world’s attention. Her secret affair with the Italian prince Urbano Riario Sforza Barberini Colonna marked the beginning of a life full of scandals and tabloid headlines. Her nighttime escapades at the Jimmy’z nightclub and her clandestine meetings in a Parisian apartment fueled the curiosity of the public and the media.
But his love life was not limited to the nobility. Showbiz figures such as Rob Lowe and Paul Belmondo also fell under her spell. Her relationship with Paul, son of legendary actor Jean-Paul Belmondo, catapulted her to fame as one of the most coveted women of her time.
Marriages and Scandals
Despite her marriage to her bodyguard, Daniel Ducruet, which produced three children, Estefania did not find stability. The scandal broke when Ducruet was caught in an extramarital affair with a stripper. Despite this setback, Estefanía continued to search for love, maintaining brief romances that included a relationship with Jean Raymond Gottlieb, which resulted in the birth of her daughter Camille in 1998.
But perhaps one of her most unusual romances was with Franco Knie, director of the Swiss National Circus, which led to her moving into a circus caravan with her three children. Although she returned to the palace and vowed to pursue a life more in line with her lineage, her fascination with the circus persisted, even marrying a Portuguese trapeze artist named Adans Lopez Peres in 2003, although the marriage was short-lived.
A New Stage: Commitment to Charitable Causes
Currently, Estefanía has moved away from the headlines of the gossip press and has dedicated herself to charity work, including the protection of elephants through her Baby & Nepalsu foundation. Although she has spoken openly about her love life in the past, she currently does not appear to have any romantic commitments, marking a significant change in the life of the rebellious princess of Monaco.
