About Princess Maria Chiara
Princess Maria Chiara of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, Duchess of Noto and Capri, born on January 1, 2005, in Rome, Italy, is the younger daughter of Prince Carlo, Duke of Castro, and Princess Camilla Crociani. Growing up between Paris, Monte Carlo, and Rome, she was raised in a multilingual environment, becoming fluent in six languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian. Of Caucasian ethnicity with Italian and Spanish royal heritage, she was educated through private tutors under the International Cambridge Educational system and the CNED course, graduating at 15 in March 2020, two years ahead of schedule. Her early life included active participation in sports like tennis, swimming, gymnastics, sailing, and windsurfing, earning medals in judo and tennis trophies at the Monte Carlo Country Club. She also developed a passion for fashion, modeling, photography, painting, and singing, and has studied acting at a drama school.
Her career centers on her role as a socialite and influencer, with a significant social media presence. She and her sister, Princess Maria Carolina, run a joint website (carolinaandchiaradebourbon.com) and share content on Instagram (@chiaradebourbon) with over 65,000 followers, focusing on fashion, travel, and charity. Specific details about a Playboy career are absent from reliable sources, and no evidence suggests involvement in adult content or modeling for such platforms. Instead, her public engagements include high-profile events like the Cannes and Venice Film Festivals, Paris Fashion Week for Elie Saab and Dior, and walking the runway for Pierre Cardin in 2024. She made her film debut in 2014 with a minor role in Grace of Monaco alongside Nicole Kidman. As an ambassador for the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in France and Italy and the Passion Sea Project, she supports ocean conservation and animal welfare, adopting endangered animals and volunteering with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. She interned at the Monaco Red Cross in 2017, learning first aid, and received the International Award “Beata Regina Maria Cristina” and Gold Medals from the Italian and Monaco Red Cross in 2018.
Physically, Maria Chiara’s appearance is described in fashion contexts, with her 5'8" height being mentioned as giving her the opportunity to model. Her blonde hair and elegant style are often highlighted in event photos. No information confirms cosmetic surgeries, tattoos, or piercings. Public sentiment, as seen on platforms like X, describes her as a glamorous figure with a “jet-set lifestyle,” praised for her fashion-forward presence and charitable work, though some comments focus on her privileged upbringing.
Her romantic life has drawn attention, particularly rumors in 2023 linking her to Prince Christian of Denmark after they were photographed together at the Monaco Grand Prix. She denied these rumors on Instagram, stating they are close friends, and emphasized their families’ longstanding ties, with her father as godparent to Christian’s sister, Princess Josephine. No other relationships are documented, and she is reportedly single with no children. No significant controversies surround her, though the dating speculation sparked media interest.
As of June 2025, Maria Chiara, aged 20, continues her studies at Harvard University after graduating from Istituto Marangoni in Paris. She remains active in philanthropy, supporting causes like the Monaco-based Rokethon for abandoned dogs, UNICEF, and the Italian Association “Salvamamme.” Based between Paris, Monte Carlo, and Rome, she frequently attends global charity and fashion events. Her Instagram and joint website with her sister provide the latest updates on her activities.
