Pierre Rainier Stefano Casiraghi is the youngest child of HSH Princess Caroline of Monaco (now HRH The Princess of Hanover) and her second husband, Stefano Casiraghi. He was born on September 5, 1987 at Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace in Monte Carlo.

He is named for his maternal great-grandfather, Prince Pierre of Monaco, his maternal grandfather, Prince Rainier III of Monaco, and his father. His godparents are his uncle Prince Albert and his aunt by marriage Laura Casiraghi (the wife of Daniele Casiraghi).

Pierre was just over three years old at the time of his father`s death in a boating accident.

He has two older siblings: Andrea Albert Pierre Casiraghi and Charlotte Marie Pomeline Casiraghi, and one younger half-sister, HRH Princess Alexandra of Hanover.

He can speak fluent French, Italian, English, and some German. He also plays the saxophone.

He is currently living and studying in Milan, Italy. He is enrolled in an economics course at the University Bocconi. The Italian celebrity magazines, such as Diva e Donna and Chi have been printing occasional updates on his social life in Milan, showing pictures of him with the likes of socialite Olympia Scarry and models Caroline Winberg and Fernanda Lessa. The Spy column in the Daily Telegraph has said that he leads a very opulent lifestyle with a GBP 2,000-per-month apartment in Milan`s trendy Brera district. It is believed that he will use his economics degree towards learning the business of his father`s companies that are, in the meantime and since his father`s death, being managed by Pierre`s uncle Marco Casiraghi.

Pierre Casiraghi is third in line to the throne of Monaco, following his mother and brother.
