“Read nothing, watch nothing”: why Caroline de Monaco stays away from social networks
Caroline de Monaco celebrates her 65th birthday this Sunday, January 23. The Princess of Hanover, hounded since birth by the paparazzi, relies on principles of life to protect herself from today’s world.
Caroline of Monaco is 65 years old this Sunday, January 23! The one who is also the Princess of Hanover by her marriage to Ernest-Auguste de Hanover in 1999, found herself propelled into the royal ranks from an early age. To counter the pressure of today’s world, Caroline of Monaco instinctively kept her distance from social networks, “this very violent thing”, as she named it to Madame Figaro in 2020. “It’s certain, you have to be tough once morest intrusions. Do not read anything that is written, not even the praises, do not look at anything, remain benevolent”, shared Caroline of Monaco to the magazine.
Discretion and reflection: these are the key words of the daughter of Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace. At 65, Caroline of Monaco is accustomed to the spotlight, but does not seek to attract them. This is, moreover, a principle that she wished to pass on to her four children, Charlotte Casiraghi, Alexandra of Hanover, Pierre Casiraghi and Andrea Casiraghi. A fact confirmed by the eldest of her daughters, present during the interview with Madame Figaro : “Children, we have been delivered to a beneficial loneliness”, supported Charlotte Casiraghi, now 35 years old.
Rather books and philosophy
In this mother-daughter interview, the heiresses of the princely family of Monaco explained their distrust of Facebook or Instagram. “Anyone has the right to their privacy. It is an inviolable right”, recalled Charlotte Casiraghi. “But today, everyone sees his overexposed life”, lamented the young woman. this “with great cowardice”, completed his mother. “Social networks are like an invisible hand”, pictured Caroline of Monaco, observing that they “often lead to immense loneliness”.
In the absence of “read nothing, watch nothing” on Facebook and Instagram, the Princess of Hanover and her daughter have advocated “the company of books, the guidance of philosophers”, a reflex that would be “comforting and allows you to build something else”.
