Princess Caroline, b.1957, is the eldest child of Prince Rainier and Princess Grace, sister to Prince Albert and currently first in line to the throne.
Caroline's married her first husband, French banker Philippe Junot, in 1978 and divorced in 1980.
She then married Italian industrialist Stefano Casiraghi in 1983. But the marriage ended when Casiraghi died in a power-boat racing accident in 1990. She had three children with him, Andrea (b. 1984), Charlotte (b. 1986) and Pierre (b. 1987).
The Constitution was changed in 2002 to allow female succession to the throne. So now if Albert dies without legitimate children, succession will first pass to Caroline and then to her son Andrea.
In 1999, she married Prince Ernst August of Hanover. Their daughter, Alexandra, was born later that year. She has one sister, Princess Stephanie.
