Cursed Facts About Princess Caroline of Monaco, The Queen of Heartbreak
Monaco’s royal family has it all: the glitziest nation on Earth, fame, fortune, prestige...and if the conspiracies are true, a 700-year-old unbreakable curse on their marriages.
Princess Caroline has lived a scandalous and tragic life that only adds more fuel to the fire.
1. She Has No Luck With Love
Princess Caroline was a poor little rich girl, if there ever was one. After a neglectful childhood, she went into the family business: Scandal making and doomed romances. After every single marriage ended in either animosity or tragedy, people couldn’t help but wonder whether Caroline just has bad luck or if something more sinister is at play.

2. She Has Legendary Parents
Well-heeled marriages are a dime a dozen in European high society, but Caroline’s parents still stood out–and for good reason. In 1957, Rainier III, Prince of Monaco and Grace Kelly welcomed Caroline, their firstborn, into Monegasque and Hollywood royalty. But as gilded as this family tree is, dark conspiracies lurk underneath.

3. She Faces A Family Curse
The House of Grimaldi is best known not only for ruling Monaco, but for suffering from an infamous curse. According to folklore, a witch cursed the entire dynasty in the fourteenth century: “Never will a Grimaldi find happiness in marriage”. It’d be easy to treat this as fiction if it weren’t for their track record with love. And Princess Caroline is no exception.

4. She Was A Neglected Kid
Caroline’s childhood was special, and not in a good way. Growing up under a high pressure microscope is already bad enough. On top of that, she had parents who couldn't be bothered with parenting. Caroline confessed “we were probably closer to our nanny than to our parents”. Their nanny could barely go on vacation because they missed her so much.
In comparison, rumor has it the three Grimaldi kids didn’t—well couldn’t—eat dinner with their parents. They only got that privilege as teenagers. At that point, it was too late for Caroline and her mother to bridge the gap—and Caroline would pay for the price for this.
