Andrea Casiraghi talking business on his cellphone

The Casiraghi brothers were quite a contrast last weekend. Andrea was business-like in a suit, while Pierre appeared super casual in a T-shirt, shorts and loafers.

We’ve only seen photos of Charlotte, so it’s great to hear her voice! She’s very charming and poised, though this is apparently her first interview.

Translation provided by YouTube’s MissBarton1986:

About Charlotte’s interest in riding:

I started to ride when I was very young, and it is a sport I have practised for a very long time, and it was a great pleasure for me to participate in the jumping of Monaco. event was held in the Fondelle tent; they now wished to have it in the harbour and it was a challenge.

About her participation:

It was very difficult for me because I haven’t been able to train in the last 3 weeks, so I had to leave my horse in the hands of my trainer, so it is fairly difficult to resume competition without any prior recent training. Fortunately, my horse has extraordinary concentrating powers, (or attitude, or smarts) and he was able to carry me (or support) in that slightly difficult moment, given my injury.

About her ambitions as a professional:

For the time being, I am trying to achieve good results in the amateur competitions. Well see how the season develops, but why not?

About her being an ambassador for the sport:

It is with great pleasure that I support the equestrian sport. I really hope that in the years to come, thanks to the Global Champions Tour which is a championship event organized around the world, my participation will help and that this sport will become more popular. I will be participating in Portugal in 10 days, and in Brazil at the end of the month. I hope that my hand will hold up !

About other sports:

Yes, I practise other sports a little, I like swimming, I like jogging, but it is mostly riding I love.

About participation in Monaco events:

Yes, yes, Le Grand Prix, yes, every year.

A few of Charlotte’s family members and their significant others were present to give their support: her mother Princess Caroline, her brother Andrea and his girlfriend Tatiana Santos Domingos, and Charlene Wittstock (Prince Albert’s girlfriend).

It was a beautiful sunny day in Monaco for the royals to enjoy. I love seeing Charlotte at these competitions. We usually spot her at fashion events. Yes, she does more than just look good; she’s a great horsewoman too!

Charlotte had hurt her wrist and had been seen a few days ago with a bandage wrapped around it. The bandage is still on, but her injury is apparently not serious enough to deter her from taking a few jumps with her horse.

Charlotte has been show jumping since she was young. Her mother, Princess Caroline, was with her in Vidauban last weekend.

Charlotte Casiraghi of Monaco enjoyed the Monaco Grand Prix Formula 1 race with her family over the weekend. The race ran from May 21-24, 2009 through the streets of Monte Carlo.

Charlotte watched the race earlier with her boyfriend Alex Dellal, and her brother Pierre Casiraghi and his girlfriend Beatrice Borromeo. At that time, she and some of the others wore big red ear muffs to protect against the loud noise coming from the racing cars. The ear coverings were probably not the best accessories for her dark green dress that day.

On the last day of the race, Charlotte opted for the more discreet ear plugs. She wore a simple white minidress with a red flower print, paired with high white sandals.

I hope you like these photos!

Monaco’s glamorous royal family rocked the annual Rose Ball last Saturday. The theme of this year’s ‘Rock n’ Rose’ Bal de la Rose, held at the Sporting Club of Monaco, was rock and roll.

The royals turned out in support of the charity event to benefit the Princess Grace Foundation. Prince Albert was in simple tuxedo, nothing too rock and roll there. His dates for the night, his sister Princess Caroline of Hanover and girlfriend Charlene Wittstock, accessorized with the theme in mind. Princess Caroline carried flowers inside a black motorcycle helmet. Charlene, with funky hair in place, wore a single fingerless glove on her left hand.

The younger royals were represented by sister and brother Charlotte and Pierre Casiraghi. Lovely Charlotte was elegant in all-black, with a shiny leather tube top.

Major events in the Paris fashion scene are happening this week, and Monaco’s Charlotte Casiraghi is in the thick of things.

On March 9, 2009, the lovely royal attended Stella McCartney’s ready-to-wear collection show at the Carreau du Temple. Squeezed into the front row with Charlotte were other notable personalities:  Sir Paul McCartney, his girlfriend Nancy Shevell, Salma Hayek, and her husband billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault.

Charlotte stayed on in Paris to soak in the latest fashion and attend rocking parties, including one thrown by designer Karl Lagerfeld at the Chanel boutique.

On closer look at the photo above, Charlotte was wearing the same cute little bracelet she had on at the Etam Fashion Show last month.

Monaco’s Charlotte Casiraghi, a close friend of Natalia Vodianova, was on hand to watch the supermodel debut the new Spring/Summer 09 lingerie collection of Etam. The fashion show was held on February 5, 2009 at The Ritz in Paris. Charlotte also attended the after party at the Regine.

Charlotte wore a black tube top over a short black skirt with a silver sequin design. To keep warm, she had a black leather jacket. High-heeled black boots, a black handbag and a bracelet completed her ensemble.

The 22-year old daughter of Princess Caroline is known for her love of fashion, and is often seen at shows and industry events.

A couple more photos of Charlotte after the jump:
