“I feel very fortunate because, with them, their partners and families have come along, and I have great relationships with all of them. That’s made the process of growing up less intimidating,” the royal continued.

Caroline is mother to Andrea Albert Pierre Casiraghi, 40, Charlotte Marie Pomeline Casiraghi, 38, and Pierre Rainier Stefano Casiraghi, from her second marriage to Stefano Casiraghi who died in 1990 in a racing accident.
