Ten years ago, Europe witnessed one of its most glamorous society weddings. Pierre Casiraghi of Monaco - son of Princess Caroline and grandson of Grace Kelly - married Beatrice Borromeo , the Italian journalist and aristocrat with movie-star looks and a wardrobe to rival any front-row regular.

Beatrice, who once worked as a political journalist for Il Fatto Quotidiano and Newsweek, stepped into royal life with ease - bringing with her a razor-sharp intellect, a discerning eye for fashion, and a résumé most royals would envy. The daughter of an Italian Count and a member of one of Italy's oldest aristocratic families.

With her platinum hair, sculptural cheekbones and signature sense of understated elegance, Beatrice is often compared to her iconic grandmother-in-law, Princess Grace Kelly. Both women share that rare, cinematic quality - timeless, regal, and effortlessly captivating. Whether attending royal ceremonies, fashion weeks, or high-society galas, Beatrice continues to prove that grace isn’t just inherited - it’s embodied.

The daughter of Don Carlo Ferdinando and a descendant of one of Italy’s oldest noble dynasties, Beatrice hails from the legendary Borromeo family. Now a stylish mother of two young sons, Beatrice is expecting her third child - it’s been revealed she’s pregnant with a baby girl. The joyous news came via journalist and ICON magazine founder Inga Griese, who attended the Dior Cruise 2026 show in May 2025, where Beatrice, glowing in couture, quietly confirmed the happy development.
