Louis II, Prince of Monaco

Louis II was Prince of Monaco fromJune 1922 untilMay 1949.

While stationed in Algeria, he met Marie Juliette Louvet , a cabaret singer. Juliette was already the mother of two children, Georges and Marguerite, by her former husband, French girlie photographer Achille Delmaet. Reportedly, Prince Louis fell deeply in love but, because of what in those days was seen as her ignominious station in life, his father would not permit the marriage. It has been asserted that Louis ignored his father and married Juliette in 1897 there is, however, no evidence for this allegation. Their illegitimate daughter, Charlotte Louise Juliette, was born onSeptember 1898 in Constantine, Algeria. There is no mention of Marie Juliette Louvet in the authorized biography of her grandson, Prince Rainier III, who is Monegasque by nationality but genealogically is French, Mexican, Italian, German, Scottish and English.
