louis is known to be very amiable, with perfect manners and a good-natured heart. he's immensely admired for his generosity & courtesy towards others, as well as his artistic talents and wide knowledge on certain topics. though he and his ex-wife share many common interests, their dispositions were contrasting; he being modest and fair, she being arrogant & cunning.PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
he's dubbed as "one of the handsomest princes in all of royal history", which was not at all questionable, what with his evidently great looks. he has fair skin, chiselled features, blue eyes, and eyebrows that are arched in the same way as his grandmother's (grace kelly). he stands at 5'10.5.BACKGROUND INFO
louis alexandre charles grimaldi was born in princess grace hospital as the son of albert ii and charlene wittstock, making him the heir apparent to the monegasque throne. he has two younger siblings, jacques and gabriella, who were born 10 years after him. although he is royalty and has spent most of his childhood in the palace, he was still familiar with pop culture, considering he'd watch hollywood films and american tv shows.at age 15, he saw audrey johnson on tv for the very first time, and instantly developed a major crush on her. he sent her fan mails regularly and took every opportunity to meet her; took frequent visits to america, and even watched her as she performed in a few musicals as heather chandler, anne boleyn, regina george, and veronica sawyer.
his love for her continued to go on even after nine years, when they had a coincidental encounter at an art museum in paris. upon finding out that audrey was single, louis asked her out on a date, to which she agreed. they went on multiple dates in europe before becoming an official couple. he had been with her during her film shootings, supporting her while he witnessed her act, and even stayed with her when she returned to new york. he finally proposed to her a year later, and the two were wed as of july 13, 2030, therefore making audrey the princess of monaco (louis was already the reigning prince at the time, seeing as his father had passed) and thus sparking many controversies, considering the bride's rash history.
their marriage, unfortunately, only lasted for a few months. they'd had a heated argument, which led to their divorce in the 27th of december. it took years for louis to heal from his heartbreak, however he never remarried, knowing he could never love another woman as he loved audrey johnson.
apart from that tragic love story, louis has a career as an artist and writer. many of his paintings have been exhibited in museums and copies of his literary works sold, but all works relating to his ex-wife remained kept in his private flat in paris, where they both once lived during their five months as a married couple.
