I think Caroline and Philippe shared a strong sexual/physical attraction, and I think Caroline was anxious for a way to assert her independence. She was in her late adolescence, and here was this older, worldly man.
She wanted to settle down and marry and have children. Philippe still wanted to party. They did not have the same view of life, the same goals at that time. They had a VERY incompatible understanding of what Christian marriage is/was.
Who knows if things might have turned out differently if they had lived together first or if they had met when Caroline was older?
I have always thought Philippe was an attractive man. I know I am in the minority but I did not find Stefan Casiraghi hot at all, he looked like a milquetoast, God rest his soul.
But he and Caroline have the most gorgeous children imaginable, that is for certain.
