Jazmin Grace Grimaldi has some serious vocal skills!
The 31-year-old daughter of Prince Albert kicked off Monaco’s Grand Prix with a stellar performance of Tina Turner’s classic hit Proud Mary.
The American cabaret singer and actress is the royal's eldest child. She was conceived as a result of a fling he had with American waitress Tamara Rotolo in France.
Born in 1992, Jazmin only met her dad when she was 11 after a DNA test had confirmed paternity. She now visits him frequently in Monaco and although she isn’t in the line of succession, Albert has confirmed that she stands to inherit part of his fortune, which is estimated to be around $1 billion (R19 billion).
As part of this year’s Grand Prix celebrations, she belted out a folksy rendition on the deck of a superyacht berthed in the tiny principality's harbour.

“A fun, super-spontaneous impromptu performance in honour of the legend herself . . . to kick off F1 Monaco Weekend,” she wrote on Instagram alongside a video of her performance.
Jazmin wasn’t the only royal to honour the late queen of rock, who died on 25 May.
Back in Britain King Charles allowed the Band of the Welsh Guards to perform The Best during the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace two days after the singer’s death.
Tina died at age 83 at her home near Zurich, Switzerland, officially of natural causes but she had been battling ill health for years.

It's since emerged that her husband, music producer Erwin Bach (67), plans to turn their £56m (R1,3 billion) weekend retreat in the village of Staefa into a shrine to his late wife.
He and Tina bought the century-old property, which is situated on the shores of Lake Zurich, in 2021 as a weekend getaway.
Erwin reportedly wants to use it to showcase memorabilia from Tina's career.
