EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Prince Rainier of Monaco (later Prince Rainier III) and his younger sister, Princess Antoinette, are captured in a playful moment at the Monte Carlo Country Club in 1938. The siblings, both dressed in elegant white tennis attire, engage in a friendly competition on the picturesque French Riviera. Prince Rainier, born on November 30, 1923, was the eldest son of Prince Louis II of Monaco and his American mistress, Marguerite Louis-Marie Bourbon-Parme. He ascended to the throne in 1949, following his father's death. Antoinette, born on February 20, 1925, was the fourth child and third daughter of the Monaco royal family. Their tennis match at Monte Carlo, a popular destination for European aristocracy and high society, reflects the privileged upbringing and refined lifestyle of the Monaco royals. The stunning backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea and lush greenery adds to the allure of this image. As teenagers, Rainier and Antoinette were already accustomed to the glamour and prestige of the European royal scene. Their tennis match in Monte Carlo is a testament to their youthful energy and the close bond they shared as siblings. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the personal lives of the Monaco royals, providing a fascinating insight into their history and heritage. The elegance and charm of this image make it an ideal addition to any collection focusing on European royalty, tennis history, or the French Riviera. This photograph is not only a beautiful piece of art but also a significant historical document that captures a moment in time for the Monaco royal family.
