Princess Maria Carolina, 23, went Instagram official with her politician boyfriend, Jordan Bardella, 30, earlier this week.
The eldest daughter of Italian royals, Prince Carlo, Duke of Castro, and Princess Camilla, shared a beautiful selection of photographs from a luxurious family holiday.
While her enviable holiday snaps featured picturesque moments of her relaxing holiday activities, including horse riding and sightseeing, she also hard-launched her relationship with the French politician, which has been rumoured since January.
One image saw the loved-up couple beaming with joy as they posed for a quick, close-up selfie.
While Princess Maria simply captioned the post with a trio of butterfly emojis, many of her 255,000 followers shared a sweet message regarding her new relationship in the comments section.
"Nice to see a nice couple happy. GORGEOUS," one social media user penned. A second added: "A happiness that pleases to see, beautiful couple," a second added. Meanwhile, a third penned: "I love this picture, what a gorgeous couple," alongside a heart-eyes emoji.
