Split rumours surround Grace Kelly's granddaughter Charlotte Casiraghi and husband of four years
By Maddison Leach|
Another royal couple is facing split rumours as reports emerge that Charlotte Casiraghi, granddaughter of the late Grace Kelly, has separated from husband Dimitri Rassam.
The pair wed in two lavish ceremonies back in June 2019, but four years into their marriage there are rumours that the couple has called it quits.
"It's Over" read a cover from French magazine Voici, which claimed that the pair separated because Rassam's work as a film producer put strain on their marriage.

According to the outlet, Rassam's work required him to travel and spend long stints away from Casiraghi and their son Balthazar, five.
Voici reported that the couple "had been going through a crisis for some time" and that Casiraghi initiated the separation in December 2023.
Other European outlets soon picked up the story, pointing out that Casiraghi and Rassam haven't appeared in public together since late last year.
The Monจฆgasque model, socialite and writer also chose to attend royal celebrations for Monaco's National Day in November without her husband.
Instead she was accompanied by her two children - Balthazar and her elder son Raphael, 10, from a previous relationship - and several members of the Monจฆgasque monarchy.

That included her mother Princess Caroline, who was the eldest child of Rainier III, Prince of Monaco, and Hollywood star-turned-royal Grace Kelly.
Casiraghi's uncle Prince Albert II of Monaco, the nation's current ruler, and his wife Princess Charlene were also in attendance.
Neither Casiraghi nor Rassam have commented on the reports about their relationship.

This isn't the first time a royal couple from Monaco has faced split rumours; Prince Albert and Princess Charlene have been battling speculation about their romance for years.
Rumours that the couple had split began as early as 2011, the year they wed, and have followed the couple on and off in the decade since.
Royals rarely choose to address such rumours about their private lives and marriage, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that Casiraghi, who is 11th in line to the throne, and Rassam have kept quiet.
The couple met in late 2016 and Rassam popped the question on a ski holiday less than two years later in March 2018.
They first said "I do" with a civil ceremony in the Palace Throne Room in Monaco on June 1, 2019, followed by a religious service and private reception in Provence, France on June 29.
Casiraghi is a Chanel ambassador and wore a strapless wedding gown by the iconic fashion house on her big day.

She also accessorised with a special nod to her grandmother Grace Kelly.
She donned the same three-strand Cartier diamond necklace that the actress-turned-princess received as a wedding gift in 1956.
