This Sunday, 1 February, the youngest daughter of Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace celebrates her 61st birthday. True to her commitments, she remains a key figure in Monegasque life.<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n\n

At 61, Princess St\u00e9phanie remains true to herself: authentic, committed, and resolutely focused on others. The last few months have been a striking reminder of this. In October, actress Eva Longoria paid tribute to her at the first Global Gift Gala<\/a> organised in Monaco by her daughter Camille Gottlieb. A few weeks later, on 18th November, an emotional moment took place at the Prince’s Palace: her sister, Princess Caroline, presented her with the insignia of Commander of the Order of Cultural Merit<\/a>, in the presence of her brother, Prince Albert II, and her children Louis and Camille.<\/p>\n

The circus, an undiminished passion<\/h2>\n\n

The circus remains one of her deepest attachments. The 48th edition of the Monte-Carlo International Circus Festival, which ended in mid-January under the big top in Fontvieille<\/a>, is further proof of this. As President of the event since 2005, she passionately continues the legacy of her father, Prince Rainier III, who founded the Festival in 1974.<\/p>\n

Fight Aids Monaco, a lifelong battle<\/h2>\n\n

As for her commitment to the fight against AIDS, it remains unwavering. In November 2025, she went to the Quai des Artistes to receive a cheque<\/a> from the Prince’s Carabiniers, who had taken up a cycling challenge in the Pyrenees to raise funds for Fight Aids Monaco.<\/p>\n\n
