Princess Stéphanie, famously dubbed as the 'wild child' of Monaco, is the youngest child of Rainier III, former Prince of Monaco,.

After recovering from the injuries, she started her career as a model and appeared on the cover of fashion magazines. Later, she became a singer and recorded some albums which proved to be quite successful. Throughout her life she worked as a model, fashion designer, singer, and a patron of charitable causes.
