Prince Albert of Monaco is rarely seen out and about with his daughter Jazmin Grace Grimaldi, but over the weekend the pair made a rare outing in Monte Carlo. The prince and Jazmin, 24, attended a Formula One gala dinner on Sunday, although they arrived separately and were not pictured together.

While Albert is a regular fixture at the Monaco Grand Prix, it's not often that his daughter takes part in such events.

Jazmin was dressed to the nines for the formal affair, wearing a black netted top and a flowing waterfall skirt. The pretty blonde, whose mother is Californian Tamara Rotolo, had her hair swept up into a neat bun and happily posed for photos outside the venue.

Her father Albert, 58, arrived separately and looked to have left his wife Princess Charlene and the couple's twins Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella at home.

Albert looked smart in a tuxedo and waved to cameras as he made his entrance.

Earlier that day Albert and his wife Charlene, 38, attended the Monaco Grand Prix final. The couple congratulated Lewis Hamilton as he was crowned this year's winner after defeating Daniel Ricciardo.

Jazmin, meanwhile, has been enjoying Monaco's social scene and last week was also spotted attending the Amber Lounge party. She was seated front row and took some jokey selfies ahead of a fashion show.

The former fine arts student was ravishing in a red playsuit and topped off her look with a slick of red lipstick.

Jazmin was first catapulted into the spotlight when she was 14, when her dad Albert officially recognised her as his daughter. Jazmin has, however, managed to stay out of the public eye and only rarely makes appearances at film premieres or parties.

Jazmin first met her dad when she was 11 

Last year she gave her first interview in which she opened up about building a relationship with her dad. She first flew over to Monaco when she was 11 to meet Prince Albert, and since then she has made regular visits.

"I wanted that moment to connect with my father, to get to know him, and to have him get to know me," she told Harper's Bazaar. "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."

Jazmin also spoke about bonding with her one-year-old step-siblings Jacques and Gabriella. "They have these beautiful, big blue eyes – and they are both already so well behaved!" she said.
