Andrea Casiraghi, Tatiana & Family Current Events Part 15: April 2010 - February 2015

[FanofMonaco]

Supposedly he studied government, economics, banking, advertising and law just like PA did. He is currently interning at the Qatar Embassy in Paris.

Fan is right, he currently has an internship at the Embassy of Qatar in Paris. And as for the "various universities", Andrea only attended two. He went to McGill in Montreal and graduated from AUP in 2006 with a bachelor of arts degree in visual arts and international politics/relations. The visual arts thing is because he likes painting. He finds it relaxing.

It seems like Andrea and Tatiana spend more time apart these days, just because she is always at these super glam events with her fashionable friends and he's absent. I'm not saying anything is wrong. I don't think so. It is just interesting because they were for so long inseparable. I've noticed it for awhile now. I'm sure Andrea is busy with his work and likes to do other things besides ride the socialite merry-go-round. It's good to different interests. Anyway, it seems like Andrea has "custody" of Daphne. He's the one mostly walking her.

I agree-he's probably not here full time, but can be seen every so often at least-more than his cousins (who are not jetsetters like their older Casiraghi cousins yet)or siblings at least.

Anyone know if he ever graduated NYU with a masters and/or in what?

Wow, so interesting to read about all of Princess Caroline's children, fascinating. Thanks for the info. everyone. :)

Regards Andrea, he has always struck me as a sensitive boy, very protective of his mother & siblings. I recall how he was right there by Charlotte's side when she had that terrible fall off her horse when she was about 16 yrs. old, and also by his mother's side when she broke her leg skiing that one time. All of his family really, including his late grandfather Prince Rainier.

From that young boy to a grown man following in his uncle Prince Albert's footsteps academically. It's fascinating to watch his growth, can't wait to see what he has in store for us all over the next decade. :)

ps: I thought I read recently that his stepbrothers are also working in embassy type situations as well, but in the Far East?

[CasiraghiTrio]

^Nadine,
About his stepbrothers..... you are close. They work in finance and in the Middle, not Far, east. Ernst, Jr. works in Bahrain. Christian works in Dubai.

I would like to see Andrea be an ambassador! Maybe...... someday....... long, long, from now, Secretary-General of the UN?!

[Nadine]

Thanks for the clarification, CasiraghiTrio. :)

Yes, I could honestly see Andrea as an Ambassador, especially considering his resume thus far ~ impressive!

I can't help but remark how far he has come these past 5 or so years. I remember seeing pictures of him mainly just partying & jetsetting around the globe after his grandfather Prince Rainer died. I personally perceived it as his way of dealing with his grief.

It's good to see him back on track. I wish him the best. :)

Rainier died in April 2005. That was just before summer. As cold and heartless as this sounds, Andrea partied like that every summer. Remembering of course that in 2005, Andrea was 21. He was doing what every normal 21 year old does. It wasn't really that different. And you would have probably never seen Andrea doing anything else because the rest of the time he was studying.
On the subject of university and Andrea - I'm pretty sure he completed his Masters degree at TNS.

[Nadine]

As the old saying goes perception is everything; perception is 9/10ths of the law. :) And that was/is my perception of Andrea.

Like I've stated on a couple of threads already, my hat goes off to Princess Caroline, Stefano Casiraghi's family, and all the other relatives that have had an instrumental hand in the upbringing of all three of the Casiraghi Trio. They have done an exceptional job.

Andrea, salut! :)

Thecia, when do you think he did the masters? I guessed he probably went to TNS-Eugene Lang for a master's in political science.... though it's all open to conjecture because we don't have any official information. Do you think he finished his bachelor's at AUP in June 2006 and then started the master's in New York next semester, right after his trip to the Philippines? Then he could have finished last June, one year ago almost?

Andrea definitely graduated from AUP (check out the VIP entry in the A-Z of AUP).
I'm pretty sure he got his masters from TNS last year, though there was an article published on Gawker recently about Olivia Palermo (who also attends TNS) and sitting next to Andrea in class. However, if he's now in Paris, he must have either finished his studies or dropped out. Your timeline sounds correct though.

Where is andrea? There aren't photo and news of this summer........WHY??????

[Nathalie Cox]

I miss him!

[FanofMonaco]

He's working at the Qatar Embassy in Paris. Not very interesting for paparazzi.

Soooo badly! I miss him frolicking on the beach, the streets of Paris....hey, now we know why he buzzed his hair (his job at the Qatar Embassy) - I would enjoy shots of him dressed in a suit w/a briefcase, too - maybe the 'razzi should get on that!! I guess that may also explain why we don't see him w/Tatiana as much - he seems to be employed, she does not.....

[CasiraghiTrio]

I've been thinking the whole Qatari embassy job was just for a year (say from last September when he started) and for his "field work" which is required for the thesis for the Master's degree of International Affairs at the New School. The degree is a two-year degree and he could have easily been doing that two years from fall 2007-spring 2009, but the thesis work must be additional to that, right?

[Nathalie Cox]

^I guess. Wait, so he is technically not graduated yet?
Also, as Horseygal says, i would like to see pics of him wearing a suit, going to job. It looks like the paparazzi only want to show the party side of him, and not other ones.

Could be. Most people do their feild work in the final semester of study. He could've taken the internship as a first job post graduation....and it was just that, an internship. Probably from June 2009-Dec 2010 (maybe?)
Nat: I agree. I'd love to see pics of him (and Pierre for that matter) not partying and just out and about.

[CasiraghiTrio]

^Yeah, I'm sure you're right and he is graduated. I just wondered... It would be cool to see him arrive at the embassy in a suit and carrying a briefcase, and wearing an Ermenegildo Zegna scarf, Rolex watch, and his suede skull n' crossbones loafers (you know, because he is Andrea!) And of course, arriving in a chauffeured limo with diplomatic plates...... no, on second thought, arriving on a motorcycle would be so much better!
