Charlotte Casiraghi is eleventh in line to the throne of Monaco and Princess Grace Kelly’s granddaughter—and yet those aren’t even the most interesting things about her. She’s a signed Chanel house ambassador, and once opened a couture show on horseback. She’s also an accomplished equestrian, published journalist, film producer, environmentalist, and degree-holding student of philosophy. Somehow, the 36-year-old mother of two manages to do all this while maintaining her widely held reputation as one of the best dressed members of a royal family in the world.
