Caroline of Monaco could lose her princess title

It has been eleven years since the princess Caroline of Monaco separated from Ernesto de Hannover, although they never got to formalize the divorce. However, the moment of the signing could be closer and closer, which would mean for the first-born of Rainier of Monaco the loss of her title of princess.

In addition, the return of Charlene from Monaco, in principle scheduled for November 19, after months in South Africa recovering from various ENT interventions, it could also remove her from the position of First Lady that she has held during this time.

A role that she already played after the premature death of her mother, Grace Kelly, accompanying her father and, later, her brother until the arrival of the former South African athlete whom she married.

Ernesto de Hannover, who has settled in Madrid, has started a relationship, which seems increasingly serious, with Claudia Stilianopoulos, daughter of the deceased Pitita Ridruejo.

In legal terms, Ernesto is still married to Caroline, which is not widely understood outside of the box. It is said that she intends to retain the title that she received by being married to him, which is of a higher rank (royal highness) than the one she was born with (most serene highness).

According to different European media, the decision not to divorce would have to do with wanting to protect her husband’s eldest son, also known as Ernst August, but this would not make much sense either, even with the father-son war on for the management of properties and castles.

In fact, on November 25, they will face off before the Hannover regional court to resolve the family and economic dispute.

For years, Prince Ernest lived in Austria, in a former hunting lodge. However, he intends to settle in Madrid, close to his youngest son Christian and his wife Alessandra “Sassa” of Osma and her twins.
