I just finished 'Grace' by Robert Lacey. Apparently Charlotte was the illegitimate daughter of Prince Louis and a washerwoman's daughter when Prince Louis was station in Algiers(?). I don't think Prince Louis married or had other heirs and so Charlotte was made legit. She married Prince Pierre de Polignac who changed his name to Grimaldi. I think it might have been an arranged marriage because it certainly was an unhappy one. The two wound up in a ugly quarrel during Ranier and Grace's wedding festivities over the some missing jewels, and Charlotte's chauffer/companion at the time was a known jewel thief. Charlotte disliked Grace immensely, thinking Ranier had married beneath him, and never returned to Monaco after their wedding. I don't think she ever inherited the throne though, I think it passed from her father to her son (grandfather to grandson).

She did inherit the throne but waived her rights to it in favor of Rainier. Prince Louis had a morganatic (sp) with Charlotte's Mother and was prevented a religious one by his father thus making Charlotte illegitimate so he adopted her in order to have an heir.

You are correct the marriage was arranged.

She waived her rights during her father's life time. She never inherited the throne. Rainier was trained by his grandfather to be his heir.

Princess Charlotte did not inherit the throne. She had given up her rights in favor of Rainier well before her father died. Rainier was made Hereditary Prince in 1944 nearly 5 years before the death of his grandfather.

Prince Louis never married Princess Charlotte's mother - ever! Charlotte's mother was Marie Louvet who was the daughter of the laundress of his regiment in Algeria.

Prince Louis acknowledged that Charlotte was his child when she was only 2. She was admitted to the Princely family in 1911. In 1918 the regulations governing succession were changed to allow for adoption and inheritance via adoption. She was adopted by her natural father Prince Louis in 1919.

She married Count Pierre de Polignac. He did not become Prince Pierre until after his marriage to Princess Charlotte.

Actually if you do research you will find it said they were married, however Albert I wouldn't approve of her. I've been researching it for 9 years and can support hibou's post having read it myself.

I know that Charlotte Casiraghi's third name, Pomeline, is a name of a Grimaldi ancestor. Does anyone know to which Grimaldi Prince this Pomeline was married?

Default Pomeline

I read that the Pomeline in Charlotte Casiraghi's full name came from a Grimaldi ancestor.
Does anyone know to who this Princess Pomeline was married?

She was a 18th century princess, but I don't know much more. Here the discussion :
