Socialities get money for just breathing. I'm sure it comes the same for the Casiraghi kids.
I think if any of the Casiraghis use a social networking site, they use fake names, and since they are multilingual, they will use, most primarily, English and French in their common speech, and some Italian, and maybe Pierre would use more Italian than the others. Most Monegasques speak a mix of all their languages anyway, not just one thing. They have friends all over the planet. Like fandesa... says, they will speak English a lot because it's a common language for a lot of people.
The Ducruet kids, Michael and Louis and Pauline, definitely have facebook. You can look at their profile and see it's real and they have all the right privacy settings and seem to be very discreet, which is good. Camille use it too. Well, Michael is not very discreet with his, though! But there doesn't seem to be any harm in it.
I'm sure that their money works for them instead of them working for their money.
A person may be loaded with money and still be an honest worker. After all, their father was also filthy rich and that didn't prevent him from being an hard working man, really, truly passionate for his job. Why can't AT LEAST one of the Casiraghi siblings be determinated to put him or herself through the test and prove his or her inner value, his or her worthyness besides daddy's money or mummy's family name? Why can't one of them feel the need to prove himself or herself able to succeed in a certain area besides showing in art exhibitions, premieres, partying and traveling all the time?

I can't imagine that either, and agree 100%.Hmmm - I can't imagine Char and her brothers being paid to attend fashion shows or club events, but if they are, I hope the $$ goes to their chosen charity, rather than in their own pocket.

I believe Stefano didn't grow up with money- he (and clearly the rest of the Casiraghis of that generation) had very good business sense, thus were able to make lots of money with their hard work and determination. QUOTE]
As I understand it, Stefano came from a family of hard-working Milanese industrialists who were well-off, but nowhere near the stratosphere of wealth that Stefano achieved by working very hard himself and taking advantage of the opportunities being married to Caroline gave him.
Agreed. I'm sure they aren't on the Palace's payroll as it is their civic duty as Grimaldi's/ niece and nephews of the head of state in a monarchy to do things like patronizing the marinetime police and Pro-Am Cup (both Charlotte's events...any idea what Pierre and Andrea patronize in Monaco??), etc....

Exactly what I'm saying...the Casiraghi money wasn't "inherited" they worked for it. I read somewhere that Stefano had a dream of making lots of money someday...meaning he didn't grow up in luxury....
I have an idea as to Pierre... I want to look this up and check it out, but do you remember when Pierre did that ...... race event? He shot the pistol to start the race. Was it the Monaco Rally or something? I think maybe he is patron of that.....
could it be the ralley de Monte Carlo Historique, perhaps? I think it takes place in January....
I never implyed "lazy" or that they don't do anything whatsoever. What is unfair is people branding them as socialites...when in reality, they are royalty. There's a difference.The Casiraghis are not a reality TV show. The truth is we know very little about them. Just because they don't publicize everything they do, doesn't mean they aren't doing anything. We do know that all 3 of them attended at least some university. We also know that Andrea interned at the Qatar Embassy, Pierre has been handed one of his father's companies and that Charlotte has been riding year round for 2 years and doing some jouralism work. They also have official duties that they perform for Monaco each year. I think it's highly unfair to brand them as lazy.

I don't think they hang out, i think they have a normal cousin relationship. They move in different social circles, so i guess they don't have too much common...
Yes, well, i remember they were photographed in 2005 for their uncle's coronation i guess we'll see them together in the wedding. But i don't think the relationship is more than a "hello"
Edit:
Here a pic of Charlotte and Pauline (with Louis) when they were kids:

And in 2005 in Albert's coronation:

I couldn't find more than this.
Charlotte,Andrea and Pierre casiraghi are royal by blood and are a good looking trio I guess they inherited grandma grace kelly's beauty. G
