Princess Caroline’s daughter Princess Alexandra gives insight into relationship with her 5 older siblings

Princess Alexandra of Hanover holds the title of the youngest of her five siblings. The 25 year old has three half-siblings, Andrea Casiraghi, Charlotte Casiraghi and Pierre Casiraghi on her mother Princess Caroline's side, and two additional half-brothers, Prince Ernst August and Prince Christian, on her dad Prince Ernst August of Hanover's side. In an interview with Elle España, published on March 21, Alexandra spoke about her relationship with her older siblings and why they've made the future seem "less scary."

"I feel very close to them, and they're some of the most important relationships in my life," the Princess said (translated to English). "Growing up with a lot of older siblings has been very interesting, as has watching them grow and see how they've gone through different stages of their lives."

Andrea, Charlotte and Pierre are Princess Caroline's children from her second marriage to Stefano Casiraghi, who died in 1990. Prince Albert of Monaco's older sister married Prince Ernst August of Hanover in January 1999. Like the Princess, he also had children, Ernst August and Christian, from a previous marriage to Chantal Hochuli. Caroline and her third husband welcomed their first and only child together, Alexandra, in July 1999.

Alexandra has several nieces and nephews, as all of her siblings have kids: Andrea is married to Tatiana Casiraghi and together they share Sasha, India and Maximilian; Pierre and his wife Beatrice Borromeo are parents to sons Stefano Casiraghi and Francesco Casiraghi; Charlotte has two sons, Raphaël Elmaleh and Balthazar Rassam; Prince Christian and his wife Alessandra de Osma have three kids, Nicolas, Sofia and Alexia; and Prince Ernst August and his wife Ekaterina have four kids, Princess Elisabeth, Prince Welf August, Princess Eleonora and Princess Margarita.

"I feel very fortunate because, with them, their partners and families have come along, and I have great relationships with all of them," Alexandra said of her siblings. "That's made the process of growing up less intimidating. Watching them move out, start homes, and raise their children has made the future less scary, I guess."

Alexandra admitted to Elle España that there are times when she feels "very connected" to her Monégasque side, and others when she identifies more with her "German and Austrian heritage."

Asked which of her mother's virtues she admires the most, the Princess answered, "Her resilience and the way she never lets anything get to her. She's very brave and never panics; she's incredibly strong, yet also calm in different situations."

"I've always known I can come to her with any problem and that we'll address it together calmly and without drama," Alexandra added. "She's truly a pillar for all of us."
