 | | Prince Albert died in June 1922, just seven weeks after the death of his divorced first wife, Princess Mary, and their only child, now nearly 52, succeeded to the Principality as Prince Louis II. |
 | | On 31 May 1923, his daughter, Princess Charlotte, now heiress presumptive to the Monegasque throne, gave birth to a son, Prince Rainier. |
 | | However, a divorced woman born out of wedlock was hardly a suitable heiress to a Roman Catholic Principality. |
