Princess Alexandra Charlotte Ulrike Maryam Virginia of Hanover (born 20 July 1999)[2][3] is the only child of Princess Caroline of Monaco and Prince Ernst August, pretender to the throne of the defunct Kingdom of Hanover.[2] She was born in Vöcklabruck, Upper Austria.[2][4][5]
Alexandra was christened on 19 September 1999[1] in a ceremony at her father's hunting lodge Auerbach, near Grünau im Almtal, Upper Austria.[1] Her godparents are her paternal aunt Alexandra, Princess of Leiningen, maternal half-sister Charlotte Casiraghi, Ulrike Ulmschneider, Maryam Sachs, Virginia Gallico, George Condo, and Eric Maier.[1] She was named after her godmothers.
She has half-siblings from each of her parents' previous marriages. From Prince Ernst's previous marriage, she has two half-brothers, Hereditary Prince Ernst August and Prince Christian of Hanover.[5] From Princess Caroline's previous marriage, she has two half-brothers, Andrea and Pierre Casiraghi, and one half-sister, Charlotte Casiraghi.
Alexandra is the only one of Princess Caroline's four children who bears any style or title. She is formally styled as "Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra of Hanover",[4][5] though the kingdom of Hanover no longer exists. She is eighth in the line of succession to the Monegasque throne.[4] Through her father, she is in the line of succession to the British throne.[6]
Alexandra lives with her mother and is being raised as a member of the Monegasque royal family. In January 2015, she represented Monaco in figure skating in the European Youth Olympic Festival, held in Austria. [7]
