Prince Albert’s daughter Jazmin Grimaldi shares unseen snaps of Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques on their 9th birthday – after Princess Charlene’ deleted her account to protect her children’s privacy
Jazmine Grimaldi celebrated her “brotherly love” with her younger half-siblings by sharing a series of unseen snaps on Instagram to mark their ninth birthday.
The 31-year-old Californian actress, the “illegitimate” daughter of Prince Albert of Monaco from Tamara Rotolo, Instagram share unpublished photos of Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella.
The message comes after Princess Charlene’s decision to delete her Instagram account to protect her children’s privacy and keep them away from the “pressures” of life in public for as long as possible.
However, Jazmine, who has had several small roles in films, took to social media to share a selection of intimate images of her children with her 35,000 followers.
Prince Albert’s son Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste – Albert’s eldest son with Nicole Coste, 52, a former Air France flight attendant from Togo – was also featured in the birthday post.

On Instagram, Jazmine wrote: “Happy 9th birthday to my brother Jacques and sister Gabriella!” Swipe to see more brotherly love!”
The first image showed the official portrait of the twins, previously published on the Palace of Monaco’s Instagram page.
Princess Gabriella wore a chic navy blue coat with a medal on the lapel and completed the look with a matching beret.
Her twin brother looked dapper in a military-style uniform jacket paired with navy trousers.
Jazmine then shared a photo of herself with the twins on what appears to be a summer day.
Jacques held a toy Sonic the Hedgehog in his hands, and Gabriella snuggled up to Jazmine with a smile.
The last image shows twins Jazmine and Alexander on a family vacation. The siblings smiled as they posed for photos on a bench with their arms wrapped around each other.
Princess Gabriella Teresa Marie and Prince Jacques Honoré Rainier were born on December 10, 2014 by caesarean section at the Princess Grace Hospital in Monaco.

Jasmine, an opera singer by training, is the little-known daughter of Prince Albert II of Monaco and American real estate agent Tamara Rotolo.
A DNA test carried out in May 2006 confirmed that Albert was the father of Jazmine Grace, the result of an affair with Tamara Rotolo, an American real estate agent whom he met while she was on holiday in the south of France.
Her mother, then working as a waitress, began an affair with the monarch back in 1991, while she was on vacation.
Jazmine was born in Palm Springs and raised in Palm Desert and Orange County. Jazmine’s childhood was marked by marked normality.
She earned excellent grades in Catholic school, played forward on the high school basketball team, and, like her grandmother, showed an early interest in the stage, performing with the church choir and in school plays.
However, she did not meet her father until she was 11 years old and visited Monaco for the first time. According to her, it was a moment that changed their relationship forever.

“I wanted that moment to connect with my father, to know him, and for him to know me,” Jazmine said in 2015.
“Not having that number handy, I missed it. It’s great that it happened then, and we’ve had a great relationship ever since.”
Tamara now works as a real estate agent and took Jasmine with her to California, and she only met her father at age 11.
Last August, Jazmine opened up about her close relationship with Albert’s second love, Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste, as she celebrated his 18th birthday in a sweet Instagram post.
She previously shared a series of Instagram posts from her half-brother’s birthday party, writing: “It’s a celebration. Happy birthday, my little brother Alexander!”
An opera-trained singer, Jazmine sang with a friend’s band in college before launching a solo career with the cabaret-style show Fall in Love With Jaz at the Duplex Theater in Manhattan.
But she also frequently visits the Prince’s Palace of Monaco, her family’s historic 235-room fortress on the French Riviera.
Photographer Michael Avedon, whose late grandfather Richard photographed Grace Kelly, shot Jazmine there for her Harper’s Bazaar spread, in which she showed off a series of outfits that exuded old Hollywood glamor.
