Raphaël Elmaleh makes a rare appearance alongside his mother Charlotte Casiraghi at the Festival du Cirque de Monte-Carlo

Concerned about the media exposure of her children, the daughter of Princess Caroline of Monaco only takes them to a very limited range of events.

But for the second day of the International Circus Festival of Monte-Carlo, chaired by Princess Stéphanie of Monaco, Charlotte Casiraghi made the trip to the marquee of Fontvieille.

She appeared radiant on Saturday January 21, accompanied by her 9-year-old son.

Her youngest son, Balthazar, and her husband, Dimitri Rassam, with whom she is expecting a third child, were not there.

A mix of cultures

Raphaël was at the forefront of the event.

The son of the niece of Albert II and Gad Elmaleh was very elegant, dressed in raw jeans and a black turtleneck with a matching mid-length jacket.

Born in 2013, Raphaël has been in joint custody since 2015, between Monaco and Paris, where his father relocated after a stint in the United States.

The relationship with Charlotte Casiraghi is a subject on which Gad Elmaleh has always been discreet.

The latter had, however, mentioned during an interview, for Vanity Fair, the clash of cultures in which his son bathes.

“On the one hand, my kid is the great-grandson of Grace Kelly, the one who was waving to the crowd from her balcony;

on the other, he has his Moroccan great-grandmother, who was brandishing her fist while vociferating in Arabic from her balcony,” he explained with humor.
