Elisabeth-Anne de Massy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baroness Elisabeth-Anne de Massy was born on 13th January 1947 to Princess Antoinette of Monaco and her lover Alexandre-Athenase Noghès. She is a first cousin of the reigning Prince Albert II and niece of Rainier III. She is the godmother of Princess Stéphanie of Monaco. Although Elisabeth-Anne was born out of wedlock, her parents married in 1951, thus legitimizing her, and placing her in line to the throne.

She was the eldest of three siblings; the others were Christian Louis (born 1949) and Christine Alix (19511989).

Baroness Elisabeth-Anne was married twice:

She is well known for her charity work in Monaco. She is President of the Monegasque Tennis Federation[1] and of the Monte Carlo Country Club.[2]

She lost her place in the line of succession to the Monegasque Throne with the death of Rainier III.
