2. Andrea Casiraghi, born 1984, eldest son of the Princess of Hanover
3. Pierre Casiraghi, born 1987, younger son of the Princess of Hanover

Note:  Upon the accession of Prince Albert II on April 6, 2005, his aunt Princess Antoinette and her descendants lost their places in the line of succession.  If Prince Albert has a legitimate child and he/she succeeds to the throne, Princess Caroline, Princess Stephanie and their descendants would lose their places in the line of succession.  However, if any line died out, Princess Antoinette, Princess Caroline, Princess Stephanie or their descendants could be selected as the monarch of Monaco by the Crown Council of Monaco.  Princess Stephanie’s younger daughter, Camille Marie Kelly, is not in the line of succession because she was born out of wedlock and her parents did not marry.  However, Princess Stephanie’s other children, who were also born out of wedlock, are in the line of succession because their parents did marry although they later divorced.
