About Princess Maria Carolina
Princess Maria Carolina of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, born on June 23, 2003, in Rome, Italy, is a socialite, model, and social media influencer known for her glamorous lifestyle and charitable endeavors. Raised between Paris, Monte Carlo, and Rome, she was homeschooled under the International Cambridge Educational System and the National Centre for Distance Education, supervised by Monaco’s Department of Education, before graduating in March 2020. She furthered her studies at the International University of Monaco, Harvard University, and the Istituto Marangoni in Paris, focusing on fashion and dramatic arts. Known professionally as Princess Maria Carolina, or simply Carolina, she has no widely documented aliases. Fluent in six languages—Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, English, and Russian—she is active on Instagram (@carolinadebourbon) with over 173,000 followers, sharing fashion, travel, and red-carpet moments, such as her appearances at the Cannes and Venice Film Festivals. She also engages on TikTok with her sister, Maria Chiara, promoting causes like gender equality and ocean conservation. Her YouTube presence is minimal, tied to family or event-related content.
Her sports and artistic pursuits include tennis, dancing, swimming, athletics, gymnastics, mono waterskiing, wakeboarding, sailing, and windsurfing, with a particular passion for acting, evidenced by her cameo in the 2014 film Grace of Monaco alongside Nicole Kidman. Standing at an estimated 5’6” (168 cm), with blonde hair and striking features, Carolina’s elegance and poise are frequently praised by followers, though specific measurements, breast size, surgeries, tattoos, or piercings are not publicly confirmed. Fans admire her sophisticated style and confident presence at high-profile events, often noting her resemblance to modern European royalty. No public information details her sexuality or relationships, though she has expressed openness to romance, humorously stating in 2024 that she’s “accepting applications” for a partner. Her estimated net worth is $1-3 million, derived from modeling, social media sponsorships, and family wealth. No controversies are linked to her, though she survived a near-fatal motorcycle accident in May 2025 near Monte Carlo, crediting her helmet and the Princess Grace Hospital team for her recovery.
Carolina’s royal lineage stems from the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, which ruled Southern Italy and Sicily until 1861. She is the eldest daughter of Prince Carlo, Duke of Castro, the disputed head of the house, and Princess Camilla, an Italian heiress whose mother is actress Edy Vessel. Her great-great-great-grandfather was Ferdinand II, King of the Two Sicilies, succeeded by Francis II, the last king before the family’s deposition. In 2016, the family adopted eldest-child inheritance, making Carolina, titled Duchess of Calabria and Palermo, the direct heiress to her father’s dynastic duties. Her sister, Princess Maria Chiara, is the Duchess of Noto and Capri. Carolina holds titles such as Dame Grand Cross of Justice of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George and Dame of the Illustrious Royal Order of Saint Januarius, reflecting her role in preserving the family’s legacy.
As of July 2025, Carolina remains active in philanthropy, serving as an ambassador for the Passion Sea Project for ocean conservation and supporting organizations like the Red Cross, UNICEF, and her mother’s Princess Camilla of Bourbon Charitable Foundation. She participates in events like the No Finish Line in Monaco and advocates against violence toward women, having joined the “March in March” in New York in 2016 and 2018. Her recent activities include attending the Monaco Grand Prix, posing with F1 racer Lando Norris, and recovering from her motorcycle accident, which she documented on Instagram to raise road safety awareness. Her blend of royal heritage, modern influencer status, and commitment to charitable causes defines her public persona.
