Christian Louis, Baron de Massy (born 17 January 1949 in Monaco) is a member of the extended Monegasque Princely Family. He is the son of Princess Antoinette of Monaco, Baroness de Massy and her then lover Alexandre-Athenase Noghès.
Christian is a first cousin of the reigning Albert II, Prince of Monaco and nephew of Rainier III. Although he was born out of wedlock, his parents married in 1951, thus legitimizing him, and placing him in line to the throne. He was the second of three siblings. His two sisters are Elisabeth-Anne (born 1947) and Christine Alix (1951–1989).

By the time Christian's parents' marriage was legitimized in 1951, Rainier III was the Prince of Monaco but was unmarried and had no children. While Rainier was without children, there were rumors of his being replaced by Christian with his mother as regent.[1] However, once Rainier married Grace Kelly and had children, the possibility of Christian acceding to the throne became remote.
In 2002 the constitution was adjusted to allow siblings of the reigning Prince and their descendants to succeed to the throne, and Christian was officially included as 11th in line of succession to the Monegasque throne. When Albert succeeded on the death of Rainier, Antoinette was no longer the sibling of the reigning Prince, so she and her children lost their official place in the line of succession, but they and their descendants remain eligible for selection by the Crown Council if the current line fails.
Christian Louis was a pupil at the Institut Le Rosey in Switzerland.[2] He was eventually expelled.[2] From September 1963 until July 1967 he was resident (during terms) at Downside School, Somerset, UK.[3] He attended Cambridge University for a short time, but dropped out.
