It is an observation. Some people are born under a lucky star. For some, it is even better than that of others! This is somewhat the case of Jacques and Gabriella, the twins from the marriage of Charlène and Albert of Monaco. We can even say that they were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, or even more. Because if they are prince and princess, little Jacques has also inherited another title that his school friends will never know: that of marquis.
At birth, Jacques of Monaco inherited the title of Marquis of Baux-de-Provence, a town located in the department of Bouches-du-Rhône. The reason ? The status was granted to Hercule, son of Prince Honoré II of Monaco, by King Louis XIII at the time, in 1641 as announced by the Hello Monaco site. A way for France to thank the principality for its action and its help during the Thirty Years’ War, spread out from 1918 to 1948. Prince Jacques therefore inherited it later, when his father took over as head of the principality. , which makes him a kind of village chief before officially becoming Sovereign in Monaco in a few years.
Jacques certainly inherited prestigious titles when he was born, but his sister Gabriella is not left out. It is a more distant land over which the little girl also reigns. Gabriella is none other than the Countess of Carladès, a traditional country of Cantal in the Massif Central. Owner of the “Rocher de Carlat”, castle, Albert II of Monaco therefore attributed the title of Countess of Carladès to his daughter. A position occupied by his mother Charlene until his birth. The former swimmer also has several titles to her credit, in addition to that of Princess of the Rock. Countess of Longjumeau and Clèdes, she is also Lady of Matignon, Baroness of Massy, Marquise of Guiscard or Duchess of Mayenne. A real castle life.
