Overview
Jazmin Grace Grimaldi (born March 4, 1992) is an American actress and singer. She is the daughter of Prince Albert II of Monaco and Tamara Rotolo.
Albert publicly confirmed Grimaldi's paternity on June 1, 2006, claiming that he had wanted to protect her identity until she was an adult. Grimaldi is the older half-sister of Jacques, Hereditary Prince of Monaco and Princess Gabriella of Monaco. As Grimaldi's parents never married, she is not in the line of succession to the Monegasque throne. She is also the older half-sister of Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste.
Early life
Grimaldi was born in Palm Springs, California, in the United States on March 4, 1992. Her mother, Tamara Jean Rotolo (born October 25, 1961, in California), later a real estate agent, was a waitress at the time she met Prince Albert of Monaco. Grimaldi was born when her mother's divorce proceedings to David Schumacher were not yet finalized. She did not meet her father until her visit to Monaco at the age of 11.
During her youth, she was active in her middle school's basketball team and often performed in church choirs and school plays. When she was young, her mother would often show her photographs of her grandmother, Grace Kelly. Her fondest memories involving her grandmother were watching High Society.
