Re: Who is the Baroness de Monaco? Posted by Dave on July 3, 2020, 6:42 pm, in reply to "Who is the Baroness de Monaco?" I'm sure I read somewhere that she was a sister/ aunt or relative to the reigning Prince of Monaco. Regards, Dave.

Re: Who is the Baroness de Monaco? Posted by Laurent F on July 4, 2020, 12:28 am, in reply to "Who is the Baroness de Monaco?" Prince Rainier's elder sister, princess Antoinette was baroness of Massy but it's definitly not her next to Alexis de Rede! the blond lady is Ghislaine de Polignac, former wife of prince Edmond de Polignac, a distant cousin of prince Rainier. The lady with the black hair could be baroness Louis de Cabrol Previous Message Does anyone know who the lady referred to as the Baroness de Monaco is?

Re: Who is the Baroness de Monaco? Posted by mauriz on July 4, 2020, 8:14 am, in reply to "Who is the Baroness de Monaco?" Here's Baroness de Cabrol in 1956. It's definitely not her in the photo with Baron de Rede and Princess de Polignac. I wonder if it could be Ghislaine, Dowager Princess of Monaco (former French actress Ghislaine Dommanget), widow of Prince Rainier's grandfather Prince Louis II of Monaco.

Re: Who is the Baroness de Monaco? Posted by Beth on July 4, 2020, 6:08 pm, in reply to "Re: Who is the Baroness de Monaco?" Oh! Thank you Mauriz! I think you are correct. I don't follow royal genealogy so I had no idea that this lady was the wife of the Louis, Prince of Monaco!

It’s not princess Ghislaine of Monaco who was thinner than this lady ! Previous Message Oh! Thank you Mauriz! I think you are correct.

Re: Who is the Baroness de Monaco? Posted by mauriz on July 5, 2020, 10:27 pm, in reply to "Re: Who is the Baroness de Monaco?" Not sure about Princess Ghislaine having been thinner. In these photos from the late 40's she seems to have a stature comparable to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. She seems to have lost weight by the late 50's though, and comparing the photo in Beth's post with this shot of Princess Ghislaine from 1958 I'm inclined to say you're correct. But then, the camera angle in Beth's photo from at the foot of the staircase is very unflattering, and the rather curvaceous-looking lady in question might be wearing the pearl necklace interspersed with gemstones that Princess Ghislaine is sporting around her right wrist.

Re: Who is the Baroness de Monaco? Posted by Thank you for this thread on July 5, 2020, 11:19 pm, in reply to "Re: Who is the Baroness de Monaco?" Monaco of the past ... before Princess Grace..I never saw them. Thabks for sharing.. But I met the Princess Ghislaine de Polignac in Paris in de Gucci shop. She was still an old elegant Lady.
