Her Royal Highness Princess Caroline of Hanover’s Grandson’s Name Revealed?

March 24, 2013 Alexandra 3 Comments

A longtime and close friend of the Princely family of Monaco, royal historian and French journalist, Mr. Stéphane Bern, revealed the alleged name of Her Royal Highness Princess Caroline of Hanover’s grandson born on March 21, 2013. So, what is the baby’s alleged name? Sacha. Mr. Bern attended the 2013 Bal de la Rose and tweeted the alleged name after the gala evening ended.

Now, if the name is indeed Sacha, the parents, Mr. Andrea Casiraghi and Ms. Tatiana Santo Domingo, could change their minds at the last-minute and rename their baby either Chuck, Stanley, or River Ocean Blue. Or, perhaps the baby’s name isn’t Sacha at all. Perhaps Princess Caroline gave Mr. Bern a fake name (though I sincerely doubt she would) just to throw him off. Who knows. In time we shall definitely know… 🙂

On the evening of March 23, 2013, Their Serene Highnesses Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco accompanied by Her Royal Highness Princess Caroline of Hanover, Ms. Charlotte Casiraghi and Mr. Pierre Casiraghi attended the 2013 Bal de la Rose held in the Salle des Ètolies at the Sporting Monte-Carlo.

Per Monte-Carlo SBM:

“This year, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Hanover, president of the Fondation Princesse Grace, has asked her friend Karl Lagerfeld to add his special touch to the Bal de la Rose du Rocher in honor of the 150th anniversary of the SBM.

Karl Lagerfeld’s first reaction? “Let’s have a ‘Belle et Pop gala!” He has chosen the strong contrast between a typically 1900 ‘Belle époque’ ball and a decidedly ‘Pop!’ end to the evening.

As a tribute to Maestro Louis Frosio, violinists greeted the guests in the hall of the Sporting Monte-Carlo. Behind trompe l’œil balustrades, the walls were covered in postcards from yesteryear.

The guests will arrived via the stage which was decorated with a backdrop representing the Place du Casino de Monte-Carlo in 1900. The décor of the Salle des Etoiles was reminiscent of the architecture of the Casino and the Jardin d’Hiver – created by the Ecole Eiffel – in the Hôtel Hermitage.

The tables were covered in cotton sateen printed with gaming table motifs, dice and multi-colored special “Bal de la Rose” chips. Gold and silver timbales were filled with red Baccara roses, peonies and poppies.

Mr. Stéphane Bern presented the tombola which boasts numerous luxurious prizes. The Bal de la Rose du Rocher brought alive the magic and richness of the history of the Société des Bains de Mer.”

Guests were entertained this evening with performances by singer Rita Ora, rapper Theophilus London, DJ Caroline de Maigret and the Prague Philharmonic.
