Stéphanie grew up in Monaco and graduated from a state school in Paris . She began training as a fashion designer , but dropped out early to work as an assistant at Dior and later as a photo model.

On September 13, 1982, she was sitting in the car with her mother when she had an accident on a mountain road between La Turbie and Monaco. Stéphanie survived the accident with severe injuries to the cervical spine. Her mother died of her injuries the following day.

In the mid-1980s the princess began a music career: in the summer of 1986 she released her first LP entitled Besoin , which reached the international top 10. The singles Irresistible and the French version Ouragan and One Love to Give were also top 10 hits. Since her second tour flopped in the late 1980s, the princess temporarily ended her foray into the music industry.

In 1986 she opened a café and jeans shop in Monaco on Rue Grimaldi. In 1991 she released her second album with Stephanie , which was not a great success. In the same year she also recorded the song In the Closet for Jackson's album Dangerous with Michael Jackson . In 2006 she took part in the French benefit song L'or de nos vies , the proceeds of which went to AIDS research.

Marriages and relationships

She initially had relationships with Paul Belmondo and Anthony Delon , then with the realtor Jean-Yves Lefur. On July 1, 1995, she married her then bodyguard Daniel Ducruet , from this connection come the children Louis Robert Paul Ducruet (born November 26, 1992) and Pauline Grace Maguy Ducruet (born May 4, 1994). They divorced on October 4, 1996.

In 1998 the daughter Camille Marie Kelly (born July 15, 1998) was born, the father is the bodyguard Jean-Raymond Gottlieb. Then Princess Stéphanie got in touch with the Swiss circus director Franco Knie as well as a palace waiter and a gardener. On September 12, 2003 she married the artist Adans Lopez Peres (* 1975), from whom she was divorced on November 24, 2004.

Succession to the throne

When she was born, Stéphanie was third behind her siblings Albert and Caroline in the Monegasque line of succession. After the birth of several nephews and nieces, she is in ninth place.

Stéphanie's children Louis and Pauline did not join the throne until 1995 when she married their father Daniel Ducruet. Since the turn of the millennium, when Stéphanies aunt Princess Antoinette and her descendants left as a result of a reform to regulate the succession to the throne, these have formed their conclusion. Stéphanie's youngest daughter Camille is not taken into account there.
