Who is Alexandre Grimaldi’s rumoured flame Savannah Hennessy – and what’s her royal connection? Grace Kelly’s grandson was spotted at a Gucci show with the cognac dynasty scion

Alexandre Grimaldi and Savannah Hennessy might well be the hottest new royal “It” couple to keep on your radar – and they’re already showing off their glamorous lifestyles with the world.

According to European media, the duo have lately grown “very close” and have been spotted out together on multiple occasions.

Per Tatler, Grimaldi and Hennessy were seen at a lunch at Glorious Goodwood – an annual horse-racing event held in the English county of West Sussex – together with her mum and a male friend. The pair were also at a Gucci show at Milan Fashion Week together.

For the uninitiated, Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste is the firstborn son of Monaco’s head of state, Albert II, making him a grandson of the late Hollywood icon Grace Kelly.

Grimaldi-Coste’s parents met in 1997 while Prince Albert was on a flight from Nice to Paris. His French-Togolese and former flight attendant mum, Nicole Coste, instantly captivated the young “playboy prince”. Their five-year affair produced a “petit prince” out of wedlock, causing quite a stir at the time.

Per British media, Grimaldi-Coste is now a student at Royal Holloway in London. But what do we know about his rumoured new girlfriend – who also has a royal connection?

Savannah Hennessy’s royal roots

It’s not just her beau who has a royal background – apparently, Savannah Hennessy also comes from a noble lineage. According to Tatler, she is a scion of the cognac dynasty and the granddaughter of Princess Barbara of Orléans. Her mother, Melonie Foster, is an American artist.
