Prince Albert’s daughter Jazmin Grimaldi joined fellow actors and writers in support of the SAG-AFTRA strike this week.
Hollywood’s screen and television writers have been on strike since May 2 when their union authorized the strike amid concerns over the use of artificial intelligence, streaming residuals, and other pressing issues.
Among those on the picket line was Jazmin, 31, Prince Albert of Monaco‘s illegitimate daughter with Tamara Rotolo, who stars in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
She has been sharing updates on her Instagram page, posting: ‘We stand in solidarity in unprecedented unity.’
She continued: ‘Thank you to our fearless union and @sagaftra leaders and community of fellow creatives who are rising to the occasion to fight for real and necessary change.

‘I’m proud to be apart of this incredible community.’
In another she wrote: ‘I’m all about HOT Girl Summer but we creative beauties had to pivot to HOT Picket Summer!
‘THE WORKERS UNITED WILL NEVER BE DIVIDED!’
She continued: ‘Let’s all give a voice to those who need it!’
Jazmin, who is a trained opera singer, is the little-known daughter of Prince Albert II of Monaco and American real estate agent Tamara Rotolo.
A DNA test in May 2006 confirmed Albert was the father of Jazmin Grace, the result of an affair with Tamara Rotolo, an American estate agent he met while she was on holiday in the South of France.
Her mother, then a waitress, had a fling with the monarch back in 1991, while on vacation.
Born in Palm Springs and raised in Palm Desert and Orange County, Jazmin had a childhood characterized by a conspicuous normalcy.
She got straight A’s through Catholic school, played the forward position on her middle school’s basketball team, and, also like her grandmother, displayed an early appetite for the stage, performing with her church choir and in school plays.
However she did not connect meet her father until she was 11 and visited Monaco for the first time. It was, she says, a moment that would redefine their relationship forever.
‘I wanted that moment to connect with my father, to get to know him, and to have him get to know me,’ Jazmin said in 2015.
‘Not having had that figure around, I missed that. It’s wonderful that it happened when it did, and we’ve been enjoying a great relationship ever since.’

Now a real estate agent, Tamara took Jazmin to California with her and she only met her father aged 11.
In August last year, Jazmin revealed her close relationship with Albert’s second love child Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste as she marked his 18th birthday in a sweet Instagram post.
She previously shared a series of Instagram posts from her half-brother’s birthday party, writing: ‘It’s a celebration. Happy birthday my little brother Alexandre!’
An operatically trained singer, Jazmin sang with a friend’s band in college, before launching her solo career with a cabaret-style showcase, Fall in Love With Jaz, at Manhattan’s Duplex Theatre.
But she is also a frequent visitor to the Prince’s Palace of Monaco, her family’s 235-room historic fortress on the French Riviera.
Photographer Michael Avedon, whose late grandfather Richard photographed Grace Kelly, shot Jazmin there for her Harper’s Bazaar spread, which saw her model a series of outfits that ooze old Hollywood glamour.
