Succession

Caroline stood at the time of their birth to square one line to the throne, but they lost with the birth of her brother Albert a year later due to the Monegasque primogeniture.

Following the principle of primogeniture, ie in the case of the birth of a ( legitimate ) child of Prince Albert, however, it would lose this claim again.

Since the early 1990s, the Princess went with the help of lawyers are consistently ahead against publications of paparazzi photographs of her private life. There were several processes that ran partly through the courts including the Federal, the Federal Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights. Some judgments were as Caroline judgments in legal history.

A precipitated by the European Court of Human Rights judgment in 2004 led to substantial restrictions on the reporting of details of the private lives of the famous, the European tabloid press.
