Chantal Hochuli, former Princess of Hanover

[Tosca]

If I'm not mistaken she's Chantal, the Princess of Hanover; whilst Caroline is styled Her Royal Highness the Princess of Hanover.

As far as I know, you are perfectly right.
Wikipedia says:

• Miss Chantal Hochuli (1955-1981)
• Her Royal Highness The Princess of Hanover (1981-1997)
• Chantal, Princess of Hanover (since 1997)

"As the former wife of The Prince of Hanover, her title The Princess of Hanover change on the format used for the ex-wives of peers, namely her personal name, followed by her title".

Do you remember when and where did Chantal and Caroline meet?

Sorry, I do not know when they first met, but I read in the old issue of CHI mag, where I took those Chantal pics, that Chantal's mother Henriette Hochuli was one of the richest Monaco resident, and when she heard about Caroline and Ernst's love affair, she threatened Prince Rainier she would quit the Principality for good, and most of all to take her extremely considerable fortune away from Monaco. I wonder if she ever did...

Thanks, anyways
We'll find it out sooner or later. However, it was a long time friendship.
I am sure that you remember that picture of Caroline with Chantal and Ernst when she was with Junot, about 20 years ago then.
I remember that article on Chi about Chantal's mother. I wonder if it was a true story or only a journalist 's gossip.

I was reliably informed by more than one married gentleman, that the golden rule is, "look, but don't touch".

...

That said, there is a matter of when to look, and being discrete in certain surroundings.

On the other hand, does it - the matter of a guy looking when his wife is around (and her getting upset about it) - imply a certain insecurity of the better half???

To me... there is an element of her looking 'woe-b-gone' in the first picture, and she radiates a certain strength and consequent beauty in the second picture.

i always thought Caroline and her siblings had studied in Rosey, cuz Ranier, her father had studied there and he used to like a lot the school.
anyone knows for sure where have the grimaldi studied?

This question is better asked in the Monaco Forum, rather than the German-Austrian.
