Prince Albert of Monaco’s son Alexandre Grimaldi has fuelled rumours of a new romance when he attended the Goodwood festival with a glamorous influencer.
Alexandre, 20, is the son of flight attendant-turned-fashion designer Nicole Coste, who secretly dated the European royal for seven years until 2004.
Earlier this month, Prince Albert’s eldest son, who is a student at Royal Holloway in London, attended the Goodwood Festival of Speed in West Sussex.
During his visit, Alexandre was photographed having dinner with his rumored girlfriend Savannah Hennessy, granddaughter of Princess Barbara of Orleans.
The stylish couple, who attended several Milan Fashion Week shows together, were accompanied by their artist mother, Melonie Foster, and a friend.

For the occasion, Grace Kelly’s grandson looked dapper in a navy suit and matching patterned tie.
Meanwhile, Savannah, who has 12,000 followers on Instagram, wore a black dress with lace trim and a white blazer.
European media reports that Alexandre has become “very close” to Savannah in recent months.
In May, Savannah and Alexandre attended a perfume launch together and were also photographed sitting next to each other in the front row at the Gucci Men’s Spring/Summer fashion show.
As Alexandre’s parents were not married when he was born, he is not included in the line of succession.
His father acknowledged his paternity when he was a baby and, despite having grown up out of the spotlight, in recent years he has been entering more and more into the royal circle.
In October 2023, Alexandre revealed that he is “very close” to his family in Monaco.
Speaking to TatlerAlexandre said he often spends time with his half-sister Jasmin Grimaldi, 31, whose mother is American waitress Tamara Rotolo, and his twin siblings Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, eight, whom Albert shares with his wife Princess Charlene.

While she has previously also had a frosty relationship with Albert (claiming he “doesn’t want to see his son”), she has recently heaped praise on the monarch, sharing a photo with him on his birthday with the caption: “Happy Birthday Albert. The world will know you as The Loyal, The Dignity, The KING.”
The 20-year-old also revealed how he and Jasmin watch Grace Kelly films together as a way to feel close to the grandmother who died before he was born, adding that Dial M for Murder is his favourite.
‘We talk about her a lot because of the things we’re doing right now, especially Jazmin, since she’s following in our grandmother’s footsteps in Hollywood.
‘We always talk about that and how she wants to continue his legacy.’
Alexandre, Jazmin and their half-siblings from their mother’s first marriage also have a text group.
Prince Albert’s son Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste has revealed that his father’s ex Naomi Campbell “treats him like a nephew” and has given him advice on being in the public eye.
Prince Albert is pictured with his “illegitimate” children Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste and Jasmin Grimaldi; the prince has a close relationship with his two eldest children. Alexandre’s mother is Nicole Coste, 52, a former Air France stewardess from Togo, while Jasmin’s mother is American waitress Tamara Rotolo.
‘We’re all very close… In fact, we have a text group. We argue about who’s better: Erling Haaland or Mbappé. My sister is more of a team Mbappé, but on the boys’ side it’s more Haaland. I like them both.’
“The little ones (referring to Jacques and Gabriella, aged 10) are too young to have a phone, so it will take them a few years,” she laughs.
She added that her godmother and aunt, Princess Stephanie, is “very funny.” She is very funny and very down-to-earth.
‘I’m very good friends with her. Over the past few years we’ve had dinner and lunch together to celebrate my birthday with my cousins. She’s been there for me as a godmother and aunt.’
