Love may be in the air for Prince Albert's eldest son, Alexandre Grimaldi.

The 20-year-old Monagasque has reportedly been "growing close" to Savannah Hennessy, scion of the cognac dynasty and granddaughter of Princess Barbara of Orléans, according to European media.

In recent weeks, the pair have been spotted at a slew of glamorous events together. The latest was two weeks ago when it was reported that they attended the Goodwood Festival in West Sussex.

Alexandre and Savannah both live in New York. The heiress is currently a budding actress, training at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, an acting school founded in 1969 by actor, director, and acting teacher Lee Strasberg.

However, it seems the royal granddaughter already has a successful career as an influencer, with 12,100 followers on Instagram and frequent invitations to the world's most glamorous events.

Lately, the pair appear incredibly close, enjoying lots of time together. Last month, they were pictured oozing royal glamour as they sat front row at Gucci's show during Men's Fashion Week in Milan, donning coordinating outfits.

Both opting for a chic shade of beige, Alexandre and Savannah smouldered for the camera. The brunette beauty donned a crocheted T-shirt and pleated miniskirt, both in the same golden caramel hue. Meanwhile, on her feet, Savannah wore a pair of elegant black heels with a subtle strap.

She swept up her long, poker-straight locks into a stylish ponytail, and her flawless makeup look included cheekbone-defining bronzer, nude lipstick, and black fluttery lashes.

Meanwhile, Prince Albert's eldest son looked ultra-chic wearing an oversized jacket in a similar beige colour palette and matching trousers.

Savannah also shared a photo of her and Grace Kelly's grandson as part of a "photo dump" from her time in the fashion capital, which she captioned: "Little Milano recap," alongside three heart emojis.

Once again, Savannah looked spectacular, keeping the same beige colour theme but this time opting for a daring mini dress. The stylish piece featured dramatic pleats from top to bottom and a collarbone-accentuating halterneck top adorned with gold studs.

In addition to being the granddaughter of royalty, Savannah's family on her father Killian Hennessy's side created the famous cognac brand. Not only that but according to GQ, Killian also has a stake in LVMH, the luxury conglomerate that controls some of the most prestigious fashion houses and spirits companies in the world.

Kilian didn't go into his family business and instead launched his own perfume line. Ever the supportive daughter, Savannah was seen, alongside Alexandre, posing up a storm at the Cannes Film Festival at the launch of her father's latest fragrance, Sunkissed Goddess.
