Albert of Monaco's nieces meet his other son in front of Charlene

The Monaco Grand Prix brought the Grimaldi family together for an event full of glamour, but also tensions that did not go unnoticed. Charlene of Monaco and Prince Albert of Monaco were present at this iconic race and at the subsequent gala, where the victory of the winning driver, Lando Norris, was celebrated. However, the princess experienced a delicate moment when she crossed paths with Nicole Coste, Albert of Monaco's former partner and mother of his son Alexandre.

A family event full of familiar faces

In addition to Charlene and Albert of Monaco, the event was attended by other prominent family members. Charlotte Casiraghi attended with her brother Andrea and his wife, Tatiana Santo Domingo. Alexandra von Hannover was also present, with her boyfriend Ben-Sylvester Strautmann.

The Grand Prix is a symbolic event for the Grimaldi family, who never miss the race and its related activities. However, the encounter between Charlene of Monaco, Nicole, and Alexandre created a tense atmosphere, since the relationships among them have been the subject of rumors for years.

Alexandre's presence and the family dynamic

Alexandre Grimaldi Coste, son of Albert of Monaco and Nicole, was present at the event and had the opportunity to interact with Charlotte Casiraghi and Pauline Ducruet, daughters of Caroline and Stéphanie, respectively. He was also seen with Tatiana Casiraghi.

The young man was born in 2003, two years before Albert of Monaco began his relationship with Charlene. The relationship between the princess and Nicole has been marked by conflictive episodes, such as the alleged altercation prior to the royal wedding in 2011. It is rumored that Charlene tried to accommodate the boy in a service area of the Palace, according to rumors that were never officially confirmed.

Rumors and realities in the Grimaldi family

Although Albert of Monaco denied any confrontation at that time, family tension has been a recurring topic in the press. To this day, Alexandre keeps a close and friendly relationship with his father, but he has not been seen in public with Charlene. The young man's mother has stated that Albert of Monaco committed from the beginning to gradually integrate his son into the family.

However, the absence of public meetings with the princess indicates that this integration is still not complete. The Grand Prix also coincided with Mother's Day in Monaco. Nicole shared on her social media an image with her children and one of her brothers, highlighting the importance of family on this date.
