Over the years, the Princess of Hanover has become a natural ambassador for the Principality’s arts and culture.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

From the creation of the Ballets de Monte-Carlo to the presidency of emblematic institutions such as the Fondation Prince-Pierre and the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, Princess Caroline has spearheaded many initiatives to promote art, music and literature. Present at galas, concerts and inaugurations, she is actively involved in promoting the artists and events that enrich Monaco’s cultural scene.<\/p>\n\n

Actions to promote culture<\/h2>\n\n

The Ballets de Monte-Carlo were born at her behest in 1985, realising a dream that was dear to Princess Grace and reconnecting with the legacy of the Russian Ballets that were so popular in the Principality at the start of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n

Through them, Monaco has become a major centre for choreographic creation.\u00a0 “When we launched Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo with Jean-Christophe Maillot, our guiding principle was to bring pleasure without trying to please,”<\/i>\u00a0 Princess Caroline told Madame Figaro in 2020. Today, the Company is internationally renowned.<\/p>\n\n

Her passion for dance took her further, however. In March 2023, Princess Caroline opened “Studio Caroline,”<\/i>\u00a0 a new dance studio at the Princess Grace Academy. A former pupil of Marika Besobrasova, Princess Caroline practised the discipline intensively during her childhood and adolescence. She may not have realised her dream of becoming an \u00e9toile<\/em>, but she turned her passion into a lasting commitment. At the head of the Academy, she is carrying her parents’ vision forward, providing young talent with a setting that is conducive to excellence and artistic fulfilment. “My good fortune here in Monaco is to be able to smoothe, ease and facilitate others’ creations. And to uphold artistic freedom. This is essential, it’s always been my main focus, and the battle is never won,”<\/i> she explains.<\/p>\n\n

In 1988, Princess Caroline was appointed Chair of the Board at the Fondation Prince Pierre de Monaco.. Created in 1966 by Prince Rainier III, the Foundation is dedicated to promoting the arts and culture.<\/p>\n\n

With Princess Caroline as Chair, the Foundation continues to inspire and support new talent. The organisation awards literary, musical and artistic prizes every year. <\/p>\n\n

At the 2019 ceremony, Princess Caroline was keen to honour the memory of her grandfather, Prince Pierre of Monaco, a great patron of literature and the arts, whose Foundation was created after his death by his son, Prince Rainier III: “It is always an immense joy and a source of pride. I’m thinking about my grandfather’s fabulous and rather impressive legacy. I’m fortunate enough to have very fond memories of him, and he often helped and influenced me. I think he’d be happy with tonight’s winner,”<\/i> she said on stage, as reported by Point de Vue.<\/p>\n\n

In 2024, Princess Caroline awarded the Literary Prize<\/a> to writer Mathieu Belezi.<\/p>\n
