M Day in true family style as a<br />
new generation of the Grimaldis<br />
stepped to the fore, led by a<br />
beaming Princess Caroline and<br />
her 20-month-old grandson,<br />
Sacha Casiraghi, who joined the<br />
festivities for the first time.<br />
Also in the line-up were<br />
Sacha’s parents: Caroline’s son<br />
Andrea and his wife Tatiana<br />
Santo Domingo, who is pregnant<br />
with the couple’s second child.<br />
While Princess Caroline’s<br />
11-month-old grandson Raphael<br />
– son of daughter Charlotte<br />
Casiraghi – did not attend, the<br />

that he doesn’t know the twins’<br />

Princess Charlene not to tell him.<br />
“One doesn’t often have the<br />
chance to have such pleasant<br />
surprises in life, and that’s why I<br />
prefer not to know,” he told<br />
newspaper Monaco-Matin. H<br />
