Prince Albert of Monaco steps out with daughter Jazmin Grimaldi after Princess Charlene snub

He was joined by Jazmin Grimaldi, 32, his daughter with Tamara Rotolo, a waitress he met in Monaco in the early 1990s.

The pair looked glamorous on the carpet at the Princess Grace Awards, an annual event which attracts a host of stars, including Hollywood legend Michael Douglas.

The Monégasque royal beamed as he stood alongside his glamorous daughter who was his date for the evening while Princess Charlene was absent.

Princess Charlene of Monaco did not join her husband of 13 years for the event, despite regularly attending in the past.

She last attended the awards show in 2022, wearing a Terrence Bray Dress which featured a beautiful floral design.

Charlene wore a unique necklace at the time, designed by Lorenz Baumer for Maison Mazerea.

The rare pink diamond was called the Grace Diamond, and it is owned by the brand Maison Mazerea.

The brand also supports the Princess Grace Foundation.

It is unclear why Princess Charlene, 46, did not attend Wednesday's awards show.

GB News has contacted the royal's representatives for comment.
