Meet Prince Albert of Monaco's eldest daughter, an actress who is on the SAG-AFTRA picket line

• Jazmin Grace Grimaldi is the daughter of Prince Albert of Monaco and Tamara Rotolo.
• Her parents were never married, and she has no claim to the throne of Monaco. 
• She works as an actress and has posted photos from the picket lines of the SAG-AFTRA strike.

Prince Albert of Monaco's eldest daughter, Jazmin Grace Grimaldi, has no claim to the throne of Monaco, but that hasn't stopped her from earning her place in the spotlight. 

The 31-year-old, whose middle name comes from her paternal grandmother Grace Kelly, has worked for several years as a professional actress and has appeared in critically acclaimed shows like "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel."

And now she's joining fellow SAG-AFTRA members in striking on the picket line.

In a series of Instagram posts, Grimaldi is seen holding up SAG-AFTRA picket signs and posing with her dog Frankie Bleu, who she calls her "strike dog."

"I'm all about HOT Girl Summer but we creative beauties had to pivot to HOT Picket Summer!!!! THE WORKERS UNITED WILL NEVER BE DIVIDED," Grimaldi wrote in the caption of one Instagram post.

Hollywood writers have been on strike since May and got a boost in exposure when members of SAG-AFTRA also called a strike earlier this month. Now, more than 160,000 members are withholding their labor from Hollywood companies like Netflix, NBC Universal, and Paramount in an effort to fight for better wages, among other issues. 

Grimaldi was born in California and grew up in the US 

Grimaldi is the daughter of Prince Albert and Tamara Rotolo. She was born before Albert married Princess Charlene of Monaco and fathered twins Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques, who are now 8. He also shares a son, 19-year-old Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste, with a different woman, Nicole Coste.

Grimaldi was raised in southern California by her mother. Tamara Rotolo came from a working-class background and reportedly worked as a waitress before she met Albert. The Los Angeles Times reported in 2006 that she filed a lawsuit in 1992, the same year Grimaldi was born, alleging that Albert had fathered her daughter and that she was seeking child support from the royal. However, a Riverside County Superior Court judge dismissed it on jurisdictional grounds.

The Los Angeles Times, which cited European press releases at the time Grimaldi was revealed to be Albert's daughter, reported that her parents met while Rotolo was vacationing in the Cote d'Azur region of France, near Monaco. 

In 2001, Rotolo filed a malpractice suit in Los Angeles against her attorney, claiming they had not advised her to file a paternity suit in Monaco before 1994 in order to maintain her legal rights. Grimaldi met her father for the first time in 2004 when she was 11 years old. 

Grimaldi's parentage was finally publicly confirmed in 2006.

"I was 14, getting ready to go to high school, when it hit the media that my father had a daughter, and it was me," she told Harper's Bazaar in 2015. "It's a difficult time for any young adult, and it was an adjustment to have that attention. But I knew it was going to come someday."

Grimaldi and her father now appear to share a close relationship, and she has been photographed alongside him and his family multiple times.
