Prince Albert officially recognised he was the baby’s father in 2005 when news of his existence became public.

At the time the story broke, Albert was dating Charlene Wittstock, now Princess Charlene.

Ahead of their wedding, there were reports that Charlene and Nicole clashed after the bride to be offered Alexandre accommodation in the staff wing of the Prince’s Palace, with Albert swiftly denying the claims.

Charlene and Albert married in 2011 and have two children, twins Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, 10.

Prince Jacques, who will one day inherit the throne from his father, was spotted inside a car at the event.

Prince Albert’s eldest daughter Jazmin Grace Grimaldi, 33, was also at the F1.

The actress’ mother is American real estate agent Tamara Jean Rotolo, who met Prince Albert II while on holidays at the Côte d’Azur, on the French Riviera, in 1991.

Prince Albert finally confirmed his daughter’s paternity in 2006, when she was a teenager. Rumours had been swirling for years before the story finally broke.

Albert’s two eldest children are not in line for the throne, because they were born out of wedlock.

Prince Albert now has a close relationship with both his eldest children, who are often seen at events in Monaco attended by the royal family.

Now that the Grand Prix is over, the principality is gearing up for another big event.
