Grace Kelly’s granddaughter Camille Gottlieb, 21, shares her life on Instagram

As a member of Monaco’s royal family and the granddaughter of one of the most glamorous starlets in Hollywood history, it is of little surprise Camille Gottlieb has inherited a taste for the finer things in life. 

The 21-year-old, whose mother is Princess Stephanie and grandmother is the late Grace Kelly, enjoys dressing up in designer gowns, lounging by the pool and jetting off on five-star holidays.

The royal, who spent lockdown with her mother and half-sister, fashion designer Pauline Ducruet, at home in Monaco, delights in sharing snaps of her glamorous goings-on on Instagram, where she boasts 66,000 followers. 

Photos show Camille posing in the snow on a trip to the Alps over New Year’s, strolling down the streets of Monte Carlo and sunning herself on deserted beaches in Mauritius. 

Camille is the daughter of Stephanie and former palace security guard Jean Raymond Gottlieb, who is understood to have been head of the princess’s security detail when they started a relationship. 

Although Camille shares Gottlieb’s surname, his name is not on her birth certificate and Stephanie has never publicly confirmed that he is Camille’s father.

However Camille herself has identified Gottlieb, a former Paris gendarme, as her father in a gushing birthday post shared on Instagram in 2017. 

As Stephanie and Gottlieb never married, Camille is not in the line of succession to the Monegasque throne, unlike Stephanie’s two eldest children, Louis, 27, and Pauline, 26, whom she shares with her first husband, bodyguard Daniel Ducruet.

When Camille was three years old, Stephanie began a relationship with married elephant trainer Franco Knie and moved, along with her three children, into Knie’s circus caravan. 

However the relationship came to an end the following year and Stephanie returned with her children to Monaco. In 2003 Stephanie married Portuguese acrobat Adans Lopez Peres, who had been a member of Knie’s circus, but the marriage ended in 2004.   

Camille now appears to be building a life for herself in Monte Carlo, where she has founded a group that campaigns for better education around drink driving. 

Hitting back at a ‘disappointed fan’ who accused her of being ‘spoiled’ and to promote ‘laziness’ on Instagram, the daughter of Princess Stephanie made a point to list her various accomplishments.  

‘I do have a job, I look after the Public relations, event managing and marketing of a club, and I am the supervisor of several people,’ she started.  

‘I have been the founder and the president of the Be Safe Monaco organisation for almost three years, I volunteer for my mother’s charity Fight Aids Monaco, and I also help my mother a lot in her efforts to safeguard the well-being of animals,’ she went on.   

Camille also describes herself as a ‘mama’ to a dog named Leoni. 

Photos shared on Camille’s Instagram account suggest she might be living independently in Monaco, although she moved home to her mother’s at the lavish illa Clos Saint-Martin Monaco-ville for lockdown. 

Speaking to Monaco Info, Pauline and Camille admitted they have not lived under their mother’s roof in a long time, but made the best of the situation by walking their dogs and practicing yoga. 

The family turned out in force this week to open a newly renovated square in the heart of Monte Carlo.
