New Baby Ends Monaco's Royal Feud
A new baby for Princess Caroline has healed her bitter rift with sister Stephanie.
The birth of Princess Alexandra ended a two-year feud between the sisters -- delighting dad Prince Rainier.
"The baby has brought so much happiness, they both thought it was pretty stupid to carry on fighting," revealed a Monaco insider.
Caroline's fourth child was born in Austria on July 20. Her first three children came from her marriage to Stefano Casiraghi, who was killed in a powerboat accident eight years ago.
She married longtime love Prince Ernst of Hanover on her 42nd birthday in January, fulfilling the wishes of her late mother, Princess Grace, who tried to match the couple as teenagers.
Royal insiders say Stephanie's wild lifestyle and choice of lowlife boyfriends angered Caroline -- who considers herself a devout Catholic even though she got pregnant before marrying Ernst. "Caroline snubbed Stephanie when she had her third child out of wedlock and refused to name the father," revealed the royal insider.
But the tables were turned on Caroline when some of Europe's royals shunned her for stealing Prince Ernst from his wife, her best friend Chantal, forcing their divorce.
After that, Stephanie was able to tell her big sister she was in no position to criticize anybody for inappropriate behavior!
The royal sisters came together after Stephanie broke up with her latest boyfriend, a bartender in a French ski resort. A week before Caroline gave birth, they were seen with their children at an exclusive Monaco beach club.
Andrea's Mom, Princess Caroline, had a baby girl at 6:40 pm on July 20, named Alexandra. The new baby was born in an Austrian hospital after Princess went into labor the night before, and will be given the title, Her Royal Highness, since her father, Ernst or Hanover, is a higher ranking royal than Caroline. Alexandra is the youngest of four children born to Caroline, her previous three to her late husband, Stefano Casiraghi. Congradulations to the new family!
Well, I heard from someone that Caroline's baby is over due by a week (As of June 24). Does anyone know? I thought it was due in July.
Hey!! Some new stuff for once!!
Thanks to Misti on the message board who was so kind as to tell me that Caroline IS actually pregnant. Thanks also to Charlotte, also from the message board, who told me that the baby is due in July and that the baby will be a girl!
Andrea was recently named one of People Magazine's Hottest Stars for 1998, and who can argue? At only 14 he is sure to reach pin-up status in no time!
In January 1999, Andrea's mother, Princess Caroline tied the knot with German boy-friend Prince Ernst of Hanover. There was a rumor circulating that Caroline was expecting a baby at the time of the marriage, but since the wedding was almost 6 months ago, we would have known by now if she was pregnant.
