The news is not good for Caroline of Monaco and her three eldest children, the fruit of her love affair with the late Stefano Casiraghi. The Princess of Monaco's first husband was an Italian businessman from a wealthy family who quickly made a name for himself in the world of business and sport. It was in 1983 that he met Caroline of Monaco before they married a few months later in December of the same year. Together, they had three children: Andrea, Charlotte and Pierre Casiraghi. Passionate about motorboating, Stefano Casiraghi won several world championships in this discipline and unfortunately it was this passion which also led him to his tragic end… On October 3, 1990, Casiraghi died in an accident during a race motorboating off the coast of Monaco. His death deeply upset the princely family and the principality of Monaco, which is once again facing mourning. This time, Fernanda Biffi Casiraghi, Stefano's mother, died on Saturday December 7 at the age of 99 in Fino Mornasco, Italy. She is the grandmother of Charlotte, Pierre et Andrea Casiraghi.
The oldest member of the clan was buried on Monday December 9 in Lombardy and was able to count on the presence of her grandchildren, as well as Beatrice Borromeo, Pierre's wife, and her ex-daughter-in-law Princess Caroline to come to him say a final goodbye. Very present in the lives of her grandchildren, Fernanda Biffi Casiraghi was a widow since 1998.

A new painful mourning
The Spanish media clarified that the Casiraghi family was not like to flaunt their fortune and that Fernanda Biffi Casiraghi was, in every way, a woman “modest, discreet, lively”who nevertheless lived in seclusion in a beautiful villa at Fino Mornasco, near Lake Como, in northern Italy. Proof of the deceased's strong bond with Caroline of Monaco? The two women saw each other on special occasions on the Rock and the ex-daughter-in-law even called her late husband's mother, “maman”. A nice attention that unfortunately she will no longer be able to have… This new bereavement is painful for the whole family and Charlotte Casiraghi had already spoken about the loss of her father in an interview with Inrocks in 2022. The mother of two boys had explained her choice to pursue literature by “the feeling of loss (…) because for any child who loses a parent very young, at a time when the memory is not yet anchored, it remains a great ordeal that must not be trivialized”. “I was overcome with very violent emotions…”, she even declared.
