Marie and Louis Ducruet have announced the arrival of their new bundle of joy, a second daughter named Constance.

Taking to social media to share the happy news on 4th December, Marie Ducruet posted a collection of sweet photographs of her newborn daughter alongside her firstborn, one-year-old Victoire, who was born in April 2023.

The Ducruets first announced Marie’s pregnancy in June via social media before confirming they were expecting a second daughter during a gender reveal shoot in July. Though the date is slightly unclear in the images, it appears that baby Constance was born at the start of this month, on 2nd December.

“Our family is growing again with the arrival of our little Constance,” wrote the new mother, adding a heart next to her youngest’s name. “Someone was eager to meet her.”

In one of the adorable images, Victoire tenderly holds her little sister’s hand.

The name Constance, meaning steadfastness, is a traditional French moniker that has its roots in Latin.

The Ducruets met as students at Skema Business School in Nice in 2011. After a long courtship, they married in July 2019 at the Cathédrale Notre-Dame-Immaculée de Monaco.

Louis works as an Advisor for International Projects for British football club Nottingham Forest and is Princess Stéphanie’s eldest child from her marriage to former bodyguard Daniel Ducruet. He is also actively involved in several charitable associations and events in the Principality, notably through his presidency of the Barbagiuans team and his role within the Fight Aids Cup.

Marie is Head of Marketing Events and Protocol at Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer.
