Charlotte Casiraghi finds paparazzi “unbearable”, focuses on philosophy

The spitting image of her mother HSH Princess Caroline of Hanover, Charlotte Casiraghi, 30, condemned the paparazzi in a Vanity Fair France interview published October 26, 2016.
“I find it unacceptable that they take over my private life. That I can be observed at any time, my private life scrutinized. It’s a breach of my personal freedom.”
The granddaughter of Grace Kelly has no presence on social media yet can be found regularly in the gossip magazines which dissect her love life (and that of her mother). “Today we live in a society of obscenity, of staging one’s life … I believe that not disclosing oneself is a form of good etiquette.”
The Princess, an accomplished equestrian – “With the horse, you are not in a relationship of power, but a relationship of trust” – is a regular fixture at Jumping International held annually in June in the Principality, but her other passion is philosophy. She has been published in the French daily, Liberation, writing a book review on the “Défense du secret d’Anne Dufourmantelle” with a byline “Charlotte Casiraghi, President of Les Rencontres Philosophiques de Monaco”, an association she founded in 2015.
Les Rencontres holds a series of monthly workshops with guest speakers in different locations across Monaco from October to April. The theme for 2016-17 is “The Body”. The next conference – “Quels maux pour le corps? Le corps souffrant” – takes place Thursday, November 17, at Théâtre des Variétés, from 7 to 9 pm.
A full schedule can be found on Les Rencontres Philosophiques de Monaco website.

The Committee on World Food Security, the foremost intergovernmental platform to ensure food security and good nutrition for all, met last week in Rome with a Monaco delegation in attendance.
The meeting brought forth two annual reports. One on the state of food security worldwide, which saw a depressing increase in world hunger statistics for the third year running. The report found that more than 820 million people, or one in nine, suffer from the effects of hunger. The second report on the state of food and agriculture, which primarily focuses on lessening food loss and waste, expressed a growing concern about malnutrition and its consequences, including obesity.
World Food Day was also celebrated during the meetings on 16th October and three heads of Rome-based UN Organisations, Italian governmental representatives and a UN special rep on human rights were present. Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs, whose field of study includes analysing the challenges of the least developed Sub-Saharan African countries in relation to food, was an honoured guest.
The President of the Italian Council, Guiseppe Conte, made clear that his nation would be extremely interested in hosting the 2021 World Food Summit, a meeting meant to rally the international community around the challenge of creating a world with zero hunger.
Monaco is currently and actively involved in the fight against hunger as part of its general participation policy. This year alone, the Principality has donated more than €2.6 million in food security and child nutrition programmes in places where the people are particularly vulnerable, mostly African countries, and will continue to show support where needed.
