El príncipe ( francés : Príncipe de Mónaco ) o la princesa de Mónaco ( francés : princesse de Monaco ) es el monarca y jefe de estado del Principado de Mónaco . Todos los príncipes y princesas reinantes han tomado el nombre de la Casa de Grimaldi , aunque algunos han pertenecido a otras familias (Goyon de Matignon o Polignac ) en la línea masculina . Cuando el príncipe Rainiero III murió en 2005, era el monarca reinante más antiguo de Europa. [1] La familia Grimaldi, que ha gobernado Mónaco durante ocho siglos,[2] es la familia real más antigua de Europa. [1]

Poderes del príncipe
Mónaco, junto con Liechtenstein y la Ciudad del Vaticano , es uno de los tres únicos estados de Europa donde el monarca todavía juega un papel activo en la política diaria.
El príncipe o la princesa de Mónaco ejerce su autoridad de conformidad con la Constitución y las leyes. Representa al principado en las relaciones exteriores y cualquier revisión, total o parcial, de la Constitución debe ser acordada conjuntamente por el monarca y el Consejo Nacional . [4]
El poder legislativo se divide entre el príncipe o la princesa que inicia las leyes y el Consejo Nacional que las vota. El poder ejecutivo lo retiene el monarca, que tiene poder de veto sobre toda la legislación propuesta por el Consejo Nacional. [2]
The minister of state and the Government Council are directly responsible to the prince or princess for the administration of the principality.[4]
Judiciary powers also belong to the monarch. The present Constitution states that the prince or princess has full authority in the courts and tribunals which render justice in his or her name.[4]
Pursuant to Article 16 of the 1962 Constitution, the prince or princess confers orders, titles and other distinctions (see Awards and decorations of Monaco) as the fons honorum of the Principality of Monaco.[4]
In 2005, the New York Times reported that loyalty to the princely family is fierce; few residents of Monaco want to be quoted saying anything negative about the monarchy.[3]
Compensación
The princely family receives annual allocation from the budget of Monaco, €43.5 million in 2015.[5]
Títulos y estilos
The prince or princess is styled His Serene Highness.[6] Although used only formally, the prince also bears several other hereditary titles, some of which are occasionally bestowed on his relatives or their spouses. Some of these titles have merged with the Crown of Monaco as a result of the Grimaldi family's acquisition of various fiefs;[6] they no longer imply ownership or territorial authority, although the princes of Monaco have long been substantial owners of land and chateaux in France. Most were granted or recognised by the Kingdom of France or the Papal States and could only pass through the male line; they therefore became extinct as French dignities on the death of Albert's great-grandfather Prince Louis II in 1949. Thereafter, some of these titles were implicitly re-created as distinctly Monegasque titles.[6]
The current prince's complete titles and styles are, in precedent order of rank:
- Prince of Monaco
- Duke of Valentinois
- Duke of Estouteville
- Duke of Mazarin
- Duke of Mayenne
- Prince of Château-Porcien
- Marquis of Baux (Title now used by Hereditary Prince Jacques)
- Marquis of Chilly-Mazarin
- Marquis of Guiscard
- Marquis of Bailli
- Count of Polignac (French title)
- Count of Carladès
- Count of Ferrette, Belfort, Thann and Rosemont
- Count of Torigni
- Count of Longjumeau
- Count of Clèdes
- Baron of Calvinet
- Baron of Buis
- Baron of La Luthumière
- Baron of Hambye
- Baron of Altkirch
- Baron of Saint-Lô
- Baron of Massy
- Seigneur (Lord) of Issenheim
- Seigneur of Saint-Rémy
- Sire of Matignon
The current prince of Monaco, Albert II, never appears in the public areas of the palace without a tie.[7] All palace correspondence features capitalized pronouns when referring to the prince.[7]
The tradition of the monarchy of Monaco was that the flag flying from the staff on the tower above his office be hoisted when the prince was present in Monaco.[7] The current prince flies the flag whether he is present or not, preferring to keep his location private.[7]
Monaco is officially protected by France, according to terms set forth in the Treaty of Versailles in 1918.[2]
