Pierre Casiraghi is the youngest “kid” (now adult) of Princess Caroline and her second husband, the late Stefano Casiraghi. Pierre married rich Italian heiress Beatrice Borromeo a few years ago, and Beatrice welcomed their first child in February of this year. I didn’t cover it, which is weird? I guess I forgot, or maybe the news came out during the Oscar coverage. Anyway, Pierre and Beatrice have a son, and they named their boy after Pierre’s father: the baby’s name is Stefano Ercole Carlo Casiraghi.
Anyway, these are some photos of Beatrice and Pierre out and about in Mallorca, Spain, during the 36th Copa del Rey Mapfre Sailing Cup. Pierre is very into sailing, boats, racing, etc (just like his late father). But it’s worth noting that Pierre found the hot in the past few years. I remember covering his wedding and thinking that he was always going to be, like, the ugly duckling of this family. But as it turns out, all he needed was some facial hair and some muscles from all of his boating activities and BOOM. Pierre got HOT. Now it seems like his older brother Andrea’s hotness had a very short shelf life – Andrea was hot in his teenage years, then has been in steep decline ever since. Pierre’s going the other way, from awkward, fey kid to The Hotness in his late 20s (he’s 29 now).
I also like that Pierre and Beatrice seem to enjoy the same rich-person sh-t. Like, I always feel like Andrea and Tatiana’s marriage struggles and you rarely see them out together. But Beatrice and Pierre are all about being young and beautiful all over Europe.

He’s okay, tbh. Nothing unforgettable.
Yeah my heart managed to stay calm. I mean good for you if a mediocore white boy is hot to you, there are a lot of them.
LOL @QueenB. Exactly what I was thinking. Average
@QueenB
That made me lol so hard! That’s quite true. Add the fact that he’s royalty and anything that is not too bad looking becomes instantly sexy to many women (and men).
completely true. I mean, the money factor increases his attractiveness, but if he were a pauper he would be a 3 or 4, tops. channeling DJ Trump.
😂 truer words were never spoken
LMAO! Yeah, he looks better than he used to but he’s still a big meh. Andrea used to be a stunner but that’s over now. I don’t hear much about this bunch. Kudos to them for staying outta trouble.
Doesn’t do it for me either. Just average. Meh..
Same. Perfectly acceptable, nothing special.
Totally agree.
Absolutely nada to me. I’m trying but it’s blandland
Neither he or his wife are very attractive. They’re just young, thin, and rich. I’ll pass.
So true.
If they had no Money no one would care.
He’s better looking than his brother and that’s about it.
His bro was super hot. But… he lost the plot. This guy looks ok.
His older brother was spectacularly handsome as a youngster (time and likely hard partying took a toll). But Pierre has turned into a reasonably handsome man. Gaining weight appears to have helped his case a lot, but he’s also almost always photographed with the camera at an angle or in profile to help disguise the fact that his features aren’t symmetrical (which is a perfectly fine thing). It’s like how when Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were together the camera was always tilted to make him look taller.
It also helps that of the Casiraghi family, he appears to be the happiest. None of the rest of them smile nearly as much.
Andrea was so beautiful back in the day! Hard living took its toll.
Prince William was really good-looking in his twenties. Now, no.
Agreed! Andrea used to be so handsome. I do think Pierre is looking better than I ever thought he could. And, yes, he smiles!!! Looks like his pops.
Prince William looked hot when he was tanned, and he dyed his hair blonde, too.
Nah, not remotely hot. At best totally average looking. His brother was so beautiful in his late teens, don’t know what happened there.
Charlotte got all the (long-lasting) looks.
Andrea was beyond hot.
Princess Beatrice had the hugest crush on him and he paid her dust.
But overall the Casiraghis do nada for me. They play too much to the aim-free/ jet set /Euro trash gallery, for me to find them appealing.
what??? what was that Beatrice thing you mentioned???? Please do tell 🙂
He’s not ugly,but there’s nothing special or eye-catching about him
Errr no, he did not find the hot.
No. He looks like a cross between Shia Labeouf and Euron Greyjoy. That is every kind of wrong.
She makes me a bit sad, though. She used to be a journalist, and a good one too – for her age -, and then she got engaged and now it’s all about being the trophy wife (they don’t do the same things together, he sails etc and she watches).
idk, i think it’s sad in 2017. A good friend of mine is the same. My friend has a very good background (not Borromeo-like, but still, upper class), she is a MD, she is intelligent and beautiful… and yet, as soon as she got engaged she has gone fully bridezilla and now talks about not working “for a while”.
I am not criticizing their personal choices, I’m just under the impression that it’s a case of a very conservative background never lettin you go. Like, do what you want, but in the end if you are a woman your main goal should be to get married, full stop.
My friend’s parents don’t talk to the other daughter anymore, my friend’s sister, because she didn’t accept to go down this route. She focused on her carreer and lives abroad.
And back to Beatrice, her 2 sisters are married to extremely rich and extremely upper class men, too (one is married to an Oil company owner, the other to the FIAT heir, who is basically royalty in Italy). And they’re all thin and blond and have very good hair. And Pierre was rumoured to have cheated heavily, but they are so powerful that the paparazzi can’t really publish anything about them.
idk, it makes me really sad. It’s a kind of gilded cage, and women like Beatrice and my friend don’t realize is there. Or maybe, it would take too much work and sacrifices and risks to break free, and what if they end up alone, or estranged like my friend’s sister? Anyway, it’s this mindset that makes it possible for rape culture to still exist to this day, and that makes it so hard for women who choose to focus on themselves and/or having a family. I expect some to say that “she is a white rich woman why should I feel sorry for her?” but I hope you wouldn’t. Black or white, it’s the same mysoginy. Then of course, being POC, poor, ill, not straight, etc only makes things even worse.
It’s not only the women, too. If you aren’t familiar with it google Edoardo Agnelli. He was the only son of Gianni Agnelli, the owner of FIAT. Edoardo died “falling” from a bridge when he was in his 40s. It’s an interesting and saddening story.
“And back to Beatrice, her 2 sisters are married to extremely rich and extremely upper class men, too (one is married to an Oil company owner, the other to the FIAT heir, who is basically royalty in Italy). And they’re all thin and blond and have very good hair.”
The Borromeo sisters truly match the Miller sisters, Bouvier sisters and of course the legendary Cushing sisters, in their mastery of grand alliances by marriage.
Beatrice is a catch and at the time of her marriage I wondered what she saw in Junior Casiraghi – the Casiraghi kids all ended up with “careers” that are just gussied up hobbies. How driven could she have been in the first place to gravitate to that lifestyle? To me, I’ve wondered if it’s a singular emphasis on women’s roles as wives, or if it’s simply that the upper class sons are given “better” fake career options. Because that is the problem to me – there’s no value in hard work and real accomplishments. When everything is handed to you, how can you learn what it’s really worth?
like many of the semi royals in europe, they get good educations and dabble with ‘careers’ until they get married, after which they become muses or advisors to fashion houses or art galleries or do BS public relations stuff (basically peddling influence). it’s not like Beatrice had an actual career. she maybe worked for 2 or 3 years as it amused her. her destiny was always to get married, keep the dynastic wealth safe, and produce heirs.
Got to keep those islands in the family!
It’s crazy to think about being given the best education and an opportunity to do anything, and then essentially choosing to do nothing.
@Bridget, I know! Tatiana really grates me. All that money and a shit fashion line.
I get your point. Beatrice always came off as very driven to me. In her journalistic career, she’s actually done quite a lot and she always seemed like she was someone who cared deeply about her work, whatever it might be.
This is just how it goes for aristo women I think. They aren’t expected to hold down a career. They still aren’t. This is what makes the fact that they have access to some of the best education in the world so aggravating. They go to these schools like Eton, or Oxford, then come out of it with absolutely nada. Meanwhile, people who struggle their whole lives, who are smart and would be successful if only they had a chance have to languish in obscurity. It’s depressing when you think about it.
I feel like Beatrice will come back to her work at some point. She seems like she cares a lot about it, and she has a lot of opinions and a lot of personality. But yeah. It’s so weird to me to see the ultra-rich just think that careers of any variety are disposable. I guess that’s what happens when you have a lot of money.
Nope not doing it from me.
On a similar note, I miss the hot guy Friday posts, any chance we could reinstate those every now and again?
Agree 100% with both!
Not only did he not find the hot, he also didn’t know where to look. He’s arrogant and smirky.
He looks more like his late father. They make a nice couple, she looked so beautiful in her wedding and the dresses she chose were almost ethereal.
The dresses and hair were timeless.
Young Jeremy Corbyn.
Oh god! Now I can’t unsee.
Yank here who reads all the Uk papers online. zeynep is right on the money, as we say.
Just wondering, is Beatrice still working- obviously she is on Mat leave, but she was was working before right? He doesn’t do much either. He is the major shareholder of his father’s company, which really means he doesn’t really have a job, like, you know 9-5.
They never go anywhere with the baby, Andrea and Tatiana are often with their kids. And Tatiana has her own business.
She’s pretty but he’s not hot in my opinion, sorry Kaiser.
The name of Tatiana’s fashion company makes me laugh every time i see it.
All my african friends laugh when we see it.
Poor woman. She clearly doesn’t *realise what it means or perhaps doesn’t care.
*she gave an explanation to American Vogue at the company launch which revealed her misunderstanding of what it and clearly marks her as that person who appropriates foreign culture just so they sound/look cool.
Is the name of Tatiana’s company Mozungu sisters or something like that? I’ m sorry, what does it mean?
Musungu sisters.
She told American vogue that it means traveller which is too funny for words.
Musungu has 2 meanings depending on region. In it’s literal interpretation it means white person, but it can also mean foreigner in the cultural sense. When used in the latter context, it’s a perjorative.
So i could describe her as a musungu which would be literally true, and also mean she’s a foreigner in a perjorative way.
Yeah, my very limited interpretation was that it is basically the equivalent African phrase to “gringo”.
Thanks. Didn’t know that.
So basically people were calling her a Musungu and when asked told her “oh, it means traveller”?
Bridget: who knows. I doubt anyone would have told her it meant traveller because i’ve never heard anyone interprete it that way. Heck, even google translate doesn’t say ‘traveller’.
Perhaps she thought no one would know what it meant or be bothered to find out, and she was free to appropriate an African word for her fashion line to make it more interesting.
Who are the Miller sisters again?
There are three of them, and one now is crown princess, wife of Pavlos of Greece. The thing that makes me laugh is that there hasn’t been a monarchy in Greece since the sixties and they continue as if he is going to be the next king. Their father was super rich and owned the duty-free shops. One other sister was married to a Von Furstenburg now divorced, and the other to a Getty, also divorced. Story is that Robert Miller paid a dowry of 200million to Pavlos when they married.

http://www.angelfire.com/celeb/millers/vf_95.html
Back in the day aka the 90s, the 3 miller sisters bought their husbands using their father’s billion dollar fortune as dowry. If you were not titled, you need not apply. 2 sisters snagged titles though both titles don’t exist anymore and the 3rd sister had to settle for a Getty. It was quite amazing to see and read about.
Abit like Pippa Middleton’s quest except with billion dollar fortunes.
I’ve read that Constantine was a particularly stiff, not nice man, but those miller sisters. Pavlos’wife really sold. Herself as she were going to be queen.
I used to drool over Nikolaus.
He was
Really dreamy years ago, my panties fell to the floor everytime I saw a pic of him.
I’m confused about the recent news that MC and Pavlos are moving back to New York. I thought she and the kids renounced US citizenship in 2011.
LAK, I think she must have used her father’s money to re-purchase Queen Sophia’s diamond tiara herself, the one the reappeared magically on her head a few years ago.
Rumour has it that she was accepted as an appropriate bride for the Crown Prince after her father paid $200M as her dowry. Not too far fetched to think she bought that tiara herself.
They has said back in 2011 that the schooling was better in UK. I don’ know what’s what with their kids. Maybe US is more impressed with fake titles. His sister Theodora is an actress in LA, and the youngest brother Phillipos, is in New York.
@LAK it’s more far fetched to think that there was any other way they got it back!
Not hot at all. And she needs to tone those legs.
Andrea’s decline is shocking. He was gorgeous in his late teens / early 20s but looks really worn out now.
Story on Andrea is, that he is the only one of the Casiraghi trio who clearly remembers his father’s sudden death at age 30. As a result he was the most fragile of the 3, and did drugs in his twenties. So I am willing to cut him some slack.
They are often papped with their kids, which i think is nice, but I think they are more private.
Of course Tatiana inherited over 2 billion from her grandfather, so clearly money won’t be an issue.
I clearly remember the death of Stefano Casiraghi, I was 14 and, in France, media used to cover extensively the joys and woes of the Grimaldi sisters. Caroline’s and Stephanie’s lives were basically our weekly saga.
Pierre is gonna turn 30 next month, the age his father died and he seems to share the same adrenaline driven hobbies. I wonder if it’s in his mind.
Just realized Stefano wed Caroline at 23 and was 24 when Andrea was born.
I agree he found the hot, in a Jude Law kind of way (though not necessarily in these pics). Hair makes the man.
I find him sort of “approachable hot”. I have never been into the overly chiseled or overly model perfect.
@t.fanty the first thing I thought was euron greyhound too lol!
@Lak, did you say you’re from Uganda? in Kenya mzungu is not a pejorative or at least I wouldn’t be laughing behind the mzungu sisters backs at their choice of name. or maybe that’s just me idk
He reminds me of the Rhys Ifans character Spike in Notting Hill.
Pierre Casiraghi, supposedly, is really photogenic. But he has a super wonky, unsymmetrical face when you look at it in real life. The boy knows his angle is what the word on the street is, and he photographs really well. But that’s about it, otherwise he’s quite average.
Beatrice Borromeo, on the other hand, is completely my dream girlfriend.
So here for this story
Pierre Casiraghi is the spitting image of his father!
I would love to hear a bit more about the Euro-Royals. Could we have some nice gossipy sarcastic trashy talk about them every Friday?
