I think she has become a great mother. She had problems, but it looks like she has really gotten over them and has blossomed. Her kids are cuties. I think that's funny she listens to Tokio Hotel (they look like anime characters), I wonder if its the German cd or the English one. Does anyone know if they have a good relationship with their father?

Thanks a lot, tdarlene, I had seen it only minutes ago at the
magazine's site myself and had been delighted. Pauline is
really amazing, it's great that she's such a good sportsperson
and always finds new sportive interests. And it's been very
nice to see her proud mom as well

It's marvelous that Stephanie's daughter is interested in the swimming. it's always a lot of fun. Pss Grace and Ranier did make an effort make their children into well-rounded children and it's good to see that Caroline and Stephanie have been doing the same with their children to keep their interest varied.

Pauline, you go girl! She is really very, very good to make it to European Championship.
Stephanie pic is just amazing: proud and happy mom.

My first time seeing Camille. On that close-up, Prince Rainier jumps right at you. That big broad face and high cheeks. Just as with some of the other Grimaldi offsprings, who are not so honored. Camille will likely have much darker hair.

Is she about 8 years old now? Its funny how sometimes people make a lot of noise about the little darlings who sre born out of wedlock. But they are just as precious and loved by all as the "inwedlock" ones.

Their mother's are very athletic whom have passed on their love of fun to their children. Stephanie swims 5 miles a day. Stephanie has most definitely instilled the love of the sport to her children.

My God, but Pauline is truly becoming a stunningly beautiful young woman. When you look at her younger photos, it's hard to imagine she would evolve from a cute/somewhat attractive little girl into a brunette beauty. I think it's both safe and fair to say that Pauline is close to being on par with Charlotte in terms of physical beauty; each has their own look, but in terms of being beautiful - they both have it.

It would be interesting to see Pauline with her now long hair styled and a touch of makeup - WOW!

Louis is also turning into a very handsome young man. I think he is actually much more handsome than his cousins Andrea and Pierre - by far.

As for Camille - she is very pretty, but I'm concerned about this child's weight! Her weight cannot be healthy, and me thinks Stephanie seriously needs to consider placing Camille on a diet.


I hate to say this, but that photo of Stephanie at Pauline's swimming event - Stephanie is looking pretty rough and looks far older than 43. It's really too bad, because Steph was, in her 20's especially, a very stunning looking woman with a distinct look. I guess years of sun and smoking have taken their toll.

Default Look Out Charlotte...Here Comes Pauline!

While there is no doubt whatsoever that Charlotte Casiraghi is quite an attractive young lady in the Grimaldi clan, her first cousin, Pauline Ducruet, daughter of Princess Stephanie, seems to be quickly transforming into quite the stunning looking young lady herself.

Pauline, in her younger years, was a cute and somewhat attractive little girl. I would look at photos of Pauline and try to imagine what she would look like as a teenager and younger woman. It was difficult to ascertain how she would 'turn out', per se.

The link to the photo below is from another thread in Stephanie's section. I thought it was high time that Pauline herself be given her due, attention wise and thread wise.

When I first saw this photo of Pauline at a recent swimming meet/event, I was totally blown away at how her beauty is truly emerging. Yes, of course, she has a totally different look in comparison with Charlotte, but that does not in any way diminish Pauline's gorgeous face and figure.

Pauline is, I believe, 14 years old. Imagine what this already beautiful young lady is going to look like in a couple of years!

As a matter of fact, it can be argued that Stephanie's children (Louis, Pauline and Camille) are not only starting to rival the Casiraghi trio in the looks department - they may very well exceed Andrea, Charlotte and Pierre.

Aaah - The beautiful Pauline!

looks like daughter is following in her mother's stephanie's footsteps. How mah-velous! Stephanie doesn't ever look old; however, that pic appears to have no make-up on. Too many of those No-make-up outings will make for some future "not so good skin". So, good thing she is "still" young enough to be able to get photo-d without make up but hopefully, not too often without sun block. In Pauline's 2nd diving pic the expression on her face---Caroline's little Alexandra had a similar expression on her face during the jumping games. It recalls a pics with resemblance to Pauline in the pics. hang onto thaaaat sunblock

Pauline is a pretty girl, non?!
Oh, and I would think her body build will stay much as it is now .. the outline won't change too much, so she will probably always have Prince Rainier's build! :o) Cute!

Having Prince Rainier's build may be a bit tough on her; with all her cousins and sister being so naturally slim (as well as all the slim girlfriends and friends in their circuit), she may have a rough time dealing with being naturally heavier than them.

it doesn't appear that Pauline is "heavier" than her cousins, no. What is the "difference" is that Pauline is in great muscle tone shape. so she far more in good toning condition than the average person. Stephanie is like that too. It doesn't have anything to do with weight per se as it does with muscle tone imho. She has her mom's love of water and that is probably what has kept the mother's both Caroline and Stephanie so slim?! any OpInIoNs on this

Agree ! Pauline is beautiful. Charlotte is also beautiful. One's beauty does not diminish other's beauty. They are thousand of ways to be pretty!

Correct! I'm very astonished how Stephanie seems not to take care about Camille's weight Poor little girls she looks really really OVERWEIGHT. This is shocking, especially into such an athletic family!

Agree also. Stephanie, used to be beautiful, but now her face is destroyed, and she looks much much older that Caroline. I would say a pretty 55y lady

I agree. It's hard to believe - looking at that photo of Stephanie - that she is both only 43 years old and 8 years YOUNGER than Caroline! All I can say is that I certainly hope Pauline, Louis and Camille will avoid the sun and utilize sunscreen.

As far as Pauline's weight....SHE IS A CHILD. It only creates terrible issues later in life to comment and discuss the weight of someone so young (look what happened to Princess Victoria). This child isn't even in the line of succession and yet they follow her everywhere.

With children, it's never proper to place them on diets. Making sure they get proper exercise (it appears that she does, she's certainly not still in any of the photographs) and by the weight of Steph and her children, it's hard to believe that she's being fed large amounts of wasteful calories.

Everyone has different metabolic rates and children often grow into their weight during growth spurts. Camille is certainly not OBESE but it a bit pudgy. That's normal. A child's weight fluctuates. We don't have the specifics and it could easily be that Camille has a hormone or health issue the necessitates steroids or some other drug.

Let's not drag the poor child's weight (or Stephanie's parenting) into the mud until the child is out of her teens!
