Pierre Rainier Stefano Casiraghi (born 1987) is the 6'1" (1.85m) younger
son of Caroline, Princess of Hanover, and her second husband, Stefano
Casiraghi. Casiraghi is the fourth in the line of succession to the
Monegasque throne, following his mother, brother Andrea and nephew
Alexandre. He is almost too short to be on my website but how can
I say no to a handsome royal who has been linked romatically with both
men and women?
Casiraghi was three years old at the time of his
father's death in a boating accident. He spent his earliest years, after
his father's death, living at his mother's farmhouse in the quaint town
of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. He attended a state school in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
However, after his mother's remarriage to Ernst August V, Prince of
Hanover, the family moved to Fontainebleau, to be nearer to Paris and
London, the latter being where his new stepbrothers lived with their
mother. It is assumed that Casiraghi passed the French Baccalaureate
exam in the summer of 2005 since he shortly afterwards began university.
One year later, in fact, he moved to Milan to begin a three-year
undergraduate course in International Economics and Management at
Bocconi University. Besides French, he is fluent in Italian, English,
and knows some German. He also plays the saxophone.
 It is
believed that he uses his economics degree towards learning the business
of his father's companies, which are also managed by his uncle Marco.
Casiraghi was linked to a number of young women and men during his
university years in Milan. He was photographed out and about with
fashion models. But Casiraghi's longest and most serious romantic
attachment to date has been since May 2008 the aristocratic and outgoing
Columbia University student Beatrice Borromeo. In February 2012, Casiraghi was briefly hospitalized following a physical altercation at a
Parisin nightclub with Lauri of Töölö. According to media reports,
Casiraghi approached the table of businessman Adam Hock, models Natasha
Poly, Anja Rubik and Valentina Zalayeva. Words were exchanged and an
altercation ensued. Hock was arrested on four counts of assault, and he
is alleged to have struck Casiraghi as well as three male friends. Hock
contends Casiraghi was the aggressor. |
