Mother-of-three Princess Stephanie celebrated her youngest child’s third birthday last week surrounded by some of the men in her life. In the circus caravan that she shares with her new lover, circus maestro Franco Knie, she and her former bodyguard, Jean-Raymond Gottlieb, blew up balloons to prepare for their daughter Camille’s big day.

The little blonde girl, dressed in a swimsuit and blue gumboots, did not remove her dummy from her mouth all day, and laughed animatedly when her father stuck two balloons up his shirt as a joke. Her friends from the circus were all invited to join the celebrations, and brought the toddler presents ranging from dresses to colouring-in books and toys.

Later that day, Camille joined her elder sister Pauline in the circus ring. Her dummy still in her mouth, she had brought some bananas as a treat for one of the elephants in Franco Knie’s show.

The elephant trainer is clearly just the tonic for Princess Stephanie, the youngest of Prince Rainier’s three children. She is visibly in love with Franco and, although in recent months there were murmurs that she was pregnant with her fourth child, her bikini-clad figure clearly shows that she isn’t.
