Prince
Albert of Monaco’s eldest daughter, Jazmin Grace Grimaldi, has shared an
incredibly rare family picture featuring herself alongside the royal’s three
other children, Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste and twins Prince Jacques and Princess
Gabriella.
The 29-year-old, who is Albert’s
daughter, born out of wedlock with estate agent Tamara Rotolo, posted a look
back at her 2021. The fun video collage, which she shared on her
Instagram, featured photos of herself onboard private jets, in Paris, London
and New York.
There were two surprising pictures that
stood out, however, one that featured her three half-siblings, and another of
her and her father Prince Albert posing together in front of a private jet.

She wrote: “Oh, the places you’ll
go. Shining on through to 2022. A year in review. Happy anew to You.”
Fans loved the look at her year, which
seemed packed with adventures despite the pandemic.
“You are so joyous and
inspirational @jazmingrimaldi I really appreciate how open you are. You have
such amazing energy!” a fan commented, whilst another added: “Wow you
sure were busy in 2021.”
A third compared her to Prince Albert’s
mother, Grace Kelly. “Like her grandma Grace Kelly in one photo,”
they wrote.
Jazmin was first catapulted into the
spotlight at the age of 16 when Prince Albert officially recognized her as his
daughter. He had previously said he wanted to wait until she was an adult to
protect her.
Albert confirmed he was the biological
father of Alexandre, whose mother is Nicole Coste – a former Air France flight
attendant from Togo – in May 2005, just before he was enthroned as Prince of
Monaco. Following the birth of Princess Charlene and Albert’s twins, Jazmin
opened up about her father’s new family.

Jazmin
told Harper’s Bazaar at the time: “I can’t wait to be a
sister to them and watch them grow up/ They have these beautiful, big blue eyes
– and they are both already so well behaved!”

added: “I wanted that moment to connect with my father, to get to know
him, and to have him get to know me. Not having had that figure around, I
missed that. It’s wonderful that it happened when it did, and we’ve been
enjoying a great relationship ever since.”
