Christian even reportedly introduced her to his grandmother, Denmark’s Queen Margrethe, according toWoman’s Day.
Some took this as a sign that she could one day be Denmark’s queen consort herself.
Not so fast, though: Chiara, as she’s known, is only 18 as of writing.
Any marriage news is likely a long way off.
LikePrincess BeatriceandPrincess Eugenieof the U.K., Chiara isn’t an heiress to a throne herself.
But similar to the British sisters, she’s moneyed and well-connected enough to live a very royal lifestyle.
So who is Princess Maria Chiara di Borbone?
So how did Chiara come by this title?
Chiara’s father is considered the successor of the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies by some.
His cousin, Prince Pedro, considers himself the heir because he has a son.
Although Chiara’s ancestors ruled parts of Italy, today the family holds no real or even ceremonial power.
Plus, she packed a lot into her first decade or so of schooling.
She speaks English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian, per her mother’sofficial website.
And Chiara herself also has Harvard ties.
She doesn’t stop at those three, also traveling to other chic locales throughout the year.
Her main home base is acting like Paris.
Aside from the jet-setting summer months, she spends much of the year in the French capital.
I love you so much, Mommy."
Shecalls the girls"the loves of my life."
Camilla, Chiara, and Carolina also bond over their shared love of philanthropy.
Chiara loves posting tributes to her sister on Instagram.
Grace was known as Grace Kellybefore she married into the Monegasque royal family in 1956.
The film premiered at Cannes Film Festival in 2014 another of the sisters' favorite French Riviera hot spots.
The sisters' roles were small, but they are credited.
Their mother proudly posted about their film debut on her website.
Not all royals were so pleased, though.
It’s a toss-up.
But the COVID-19 pandemic changed that.
Worldwide lockdowns grounded even the best-traveled royals and resulted in a bit of a TikTok boom.
Post-pandemic, Chiara elevated herTikTokaccount to show more professional-looking lifestyle videos.
But her earlier pandemic TikToks live on and helped her hit the 33,000-follower mark.
Chiara pops up at events thrown by French design houses Louis Vuitton and Chanel when she’s in Paris.
She also has a working relationship with Chopard, the Swiss diamond firm.
She also works with several environmentally focused nonprofits.
“Maria Chiara cares a lot about animals and nature,” her mother’s website reads.
She also teased a possible future collaboration with the World Wide Fund for Nature on herInstagramin September 2022.
Very few teens marry their first boyfriend or girlfriend, especially when they’re royal.
Chiara told the Italian newspaperCorriere della Serain July 2023 that she would like “to meet Queen Margrethe soon.
My parents know her.”
We have a lot of fun together."
When news broke of their possible relationship, Chiara was 18 and Christian was 17.
Mary wants them both to experience the world before buckling down to a very serious partnership.
