He is the youngest son of Princess Caroline of Hanover and her second husband, Italian heir to an extensive estate, Stefano Casiraghi. As the grandson of Prince Rainier III of Monaco, Pierre is third in line to the throne after his mother and older brother.
Early Life
Pierre spent his childhood in his mother's country house in the historic town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in southeastern France and attended a public school there. After Caroline married Prince Ernst August V of Hanover, the head of the Hanoverian royal family, and added the title Princess of Hanover to her name, the family moved to Fontainebleau to be closer to Paris and London. Pierre's new half-brothers and their mother lived in London.

Pierre completed his French baccalaureate exams, which are taken after finishing high school to gain access to university, in the summer of 2005. He then began his studies in international economics and management at Bocconi University in Milan. In addition to French, Pierre is fluent in Italian, English, and has a basic knowledge of German. He is also skilled in playing the saxophone.
It is believed that Pierre intends to use his degree in economics to work in his father's company, currently managed by his uncle Marco Casiraghi. During his time at university, Pierre was linked to several romantic relationships, and the press often published photos of him with famous models.
