• Notes

  Hereditary Princess Charlotte ceded her succession rights to her son, Rainier, in 1944, at which time he became Hereditary Prince. When Louis died five years later, he was succeeded by his grandson, Prince Rainier III. Her parents were unmarried In the turmoil of W.W.I, another disregard for the Succession Rules of the Grimaldi dynasty happened. The French Government of the time wanted a ruler on the throne of the principality who would not threaten the security of France. The aging prince being unmarried, the French Government sought the heir to the throne of Monaco among the prince's affairs. It eventually found the solution in Charlotte Louvet, an illegitimate daughter of prince Louis Matignon-Grimaldi, born in Algeria, whom the prince then decided to adopt. Ms. Louvet took the Grimaldi name and immediately married Pierre de Polignac, a French nobleman, who in turn changed his name to Grimaldi.
