Photo of young Princess Charlotte

I found really nice portrait of Princess Charlotte..signed...Beautiful..

From 1919..

 

[monaco70s]

Wow great finding Ianna! She must have been around 20 in this picture I think.

 

[Gabriella]

I second that, Ianna, Great find! She really was beautiful. Without clicking on the link to enlarge the picture, you can definitely see the resemblence between Charlotte and Caroline. They share a few of the same facial features.

 

[nina86lila]

very rare pics where we can see the whole family !

Thanks, Nina, the last picture of the Grimaldi family in the 1920s is great! There are few pictures of them individually or together that are available.....

She looks much like Caroline but also a bit like Pauline in the cheeks.

 

[Tosca]

IMO Pauline has a lot of Caro when she was the same age.

OMG !!!!
I've never saw that pics ! It's greaaaaat !! thanks !!

 

[paca]

I can't help myself, but I find the resemblance between Charlotte and Caro in this particular picture striking. One often thinks Caro has her looks from Grace, but this pic of Charlotte shows that the Grimaldi genes were not bad either.

Hehe, you're very welcome Nina.... I'm really glad that I've found some you havn't seen before...

Caroline got the best parts of her grandmother and her mother and passed them on to her daughter Charlotte.

Wow you're right! I didn't notice it before.

 

[De La Cruza]

To make Caroline its grandma Charlotte and aunt Peggy Graces sister and a little bit of her father. I don't see the resemblence between Grace and Caroline. Sorry.

Caroline looks like a blend of her mother's sister Peggy and her father's mother Princess Charlotte. I do not see any of Grace in her as far as looks go. I do think she has her mother's poise, class, and mannerisms.

And, thank God, the Kelly height and limbs. Grace gave her daughters long and shapely legs.

Caroline and her daugther Charlotte are extremely beautiful but no crowned head can ever compare to Grace Kelly. Every picture of her has a woman of a beauty beyond description.
