Prince Albert's son Alexandre Grimaldi, 21, made a rare appearance at the Monaco Grand Prix over the weekend alongside his mother Nicole Coste.
Prince Albert's eldest daughter Jazmin Grace Grimaldi also attended the Grand Prix, sharing a photo of the track on Instagram with the caption "race day".
Neither Alexandre nor his half-sister Jazmin are in the line of succession to the Monegasque throne.
The 21-year-old looked dapper in maroon trousers, a button-up shirt and a sleek tie.

His fashion designer mother opted for a chic all-white ensemble, accessorised with a brimmed hat.
She shared their moment on Instagram with the caption: "Happy Mother's Day, Monaco Grand Prix."
Prince Albert's 10-year-old twins Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, who he shares with his wife Princess Charlene, are Monaco's heirs - with Jacques set to succeed his father.
Despite this, Albert's other children have maintained close relationships with their father over the years.

In November 2022, Nicole shared a photograph of Albert with Alexandre and Jazmin in New York, captioning it with the playful words: "Paternally king".
Alexandre has previously spoken about his close relationship with his half-siblings, saying: "We are all very close...We actually have a text message group. We're having arguments about who's better: Erling Haaland or Mbappé. My sister's more Team Mbappé, but it's more Haaland on the boys' side. I like both."
The 21-year-old has previously rejected being labelled as "illegitimate", a traditional term used as his parents were not married at the time of his birth.
He told French magazine Point de Vue: "When I was born, neither of my parents were in another marriage, and they did not commit adultery. Using that word [illegitimate] is insulting!"
Alexandre is not in Monaco's line of succession.

He further clarified his status, stating: "I had voluntary recognition from my father when I was a baby. Not from a judge or the press, who have forced him to."
Looking to the future, Alexandre recently revealed his professional aspirations in an interview with Tatler magazine.
He expressed his desire to work alongside his father, saying: "[I aspire to] work in a relationship with my dad and become this - let's say - global ambassador for Monaco, and to bring business opportunities back to Monaco, which is what I've talked about with him."
LATEST ROYAL NEWS:
The event marked a significant milestone in their young lives and an important ceremony within the Catholic faith practised by the Monaco royal family.
"On this day of First Communion, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Hereditary Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella who received this sacrament with faith and reverence," read the official statement.
Jacques and Gabriella, who were born in December 2014, are the first pair of twins in the history of Monaco's royal house.
Even though Gabriella was born a few minutes before her brother, Jacques will succeed his father to the throne because the Salic law still in force in the Principality preferences male heirs.
