Charlotte Louise Juliette de Monaco nació el 30 de septiembre de 1898 en Constantina, Argelia francesa. Charlotte era la única hija del príncipe Luis de Mónaco y Marie Juliette Louvet. En 1919, el príncipe Luis adoptó formalmente a Charlotte en París, y como consecuencia de esta adopción, fue reconocida como su hija legítima. Charlotte pasó de ser simplemente “ Mademoiselle Charlotte Grimaldi de Monaco ” a “ Su Alteza Serenísima la Princesa Charlotte de Mónaco, Duquesa de  Valentinois ” .

El padre de Carlota, Louis (1870-1949), era el único hijo del príncipe Alberto I de Mónaco (1848-1922) y Lady Mary Victoria Hamilton (1850-1922), que se casaron en 1869 y cuyo matrimonio fue anulado en 1880. El príncipe Alberto era el único hijo del príncipe Carlos III de Mónaco (1818-1889) y la condesa Antoinette de Mérode (1828-1864). Lady Mary era la única hija de William Hamilton (1811-1863), el undécimo duque de Hamilton, y la princesa María Amelia de Baden (1817-1888).

On 19 March 1920, Princess Charlotte of Monaco and Count Pierre de Polignac were married in a civil ceremony at Monte Carlo. The couple were joined in matrimony in a Roman Catholic service the following day, 20 March. The day before the civil wedding, on 18 March, Pierre de Polignac took the Grimaldi surname and became a Monegasque citizen. By virtue of marrying Charlotte, Pierre was titled as the Duke of Valentinois. Alas, this alliance between Charlotte and Pierre was not destined to end “happily ever after” for the parties involved.

The Duke and Duchess of Valentinois welcomed their first child within nine months of their union. Princess Antoinette Louise Alberte Suzanne of Monaco was born on 28 December 1920 at Paris. Almost three years later, Charlotte and Pierre produced their second child and only son: Prince Rainier Louis Henri Maxence Bertrand of Monaco arrived at the Princely Palace in Monte Carlo on 31 May 1923. After the birth of their second and last child, Pierre and Charlotte’s marriage foundered.

In March 1930, Princess Charlotte and Prince Pierre legally separated after a decade of not-so-wedded bliss. Former French president Raymond Poincaré acted as a mediator for the princely couple. Charlotte left her husband in favour of her lover, the Italian doctor Pietro Dalmazzo. In her case for a separation, Charlotte sought a division of the couple’s marital property. In his followup to his wife’s lawsuit, Pierre cited Charlotte’s lover Dr Dalmazzo as a factor in the breakdown of the marriage. Pierre temporarily placed his children, Antoinette and Rainier, in the custody of Princess Henriette of Belgium, Duchess of Vendome. This infuriated Pierre’s father-in-law Prince Louis II. In February 1933, the divorce between Hereditary Princess Charlotte of Monaco and Prince Pierre was officially announced by the princely palace in Monte Carlo. In a letter to her father, the princess wrote: “All I ask is to be permitted to seek a peaceful life for myself. For reasons which have been clear for three years, I ask you to dissolve my marital ties and to grant me an absolute divorce.” The dissolution of the couple’s marriage “led to unofficial indications of displeasure from the Vatican.” As a condition of receiving the divorce, and in a stipulation that was only ratified years later, Charlotte gave up her succession rights so that her son Rainier would be the immediate heir of his grandpa Louis.
