In a rare interview, Princess Caroline of Monaco’s daughter-in-law, Beatrice Borromeo, opened up about her experience breaking the story of an Italian Prince confessing to murder. Beatrice, who is known for her impeccable style and previous work as a journalist and Dior model, leaked a video in 2011 that allegedly showed Prince Vittorio Emanuele of Savoy admitting his responsibility for the death of Dirk Hamer, a German teenager shot in Corsica in 1978. The prince, who is the only son of the last King of Italy and is referred to as the “pretender to the throne,” denies his involvement in the murder.
Speaking to Tatler, Beatrice revealed that the story had been a significant part of her life for as long as she could remember, as Dirk’s mother, Birgit, is her mother’s best friend. The leaked video, recorded in secret during Prince Victor’s time in Potenza jail serving on corruption charges in 2006, captures him confessing to his fellow inmates about manipulating the court system after his acquittal. He described firing the shots that killed Dirk while the teenager was sleeping on his boat. The prince had a dispute with a group of young holidaymakers whom he accused of stealing his inflatable boat.
Dirk Hamer, 19, was shot twice in the right leg and passed away in the hospital three months later. Victor Emmanuel was finally cleared of the killing in 1991 at a Paris court. The six-minute leaked video from 2011 resurfaced the case, and it will be the subject of a new Netflix documentary titled “The King Who Never Was,” which Beatrice has been involved with.
Before marrying Pierre Casiraghi, Grace Kelly’s grandson, Beatrice worked as a political journalist and documentary maker. On her wedding day in 2015, she made headlines with her four couture gowns, two by Valentino for the civil service in Monaco and two by Armani Privé for the religious service in Lake Maggiore. Since then, Beatrice continues to make a fashion statement and impress wherever she goes, often accompanied by her stylish sister-in-law, Charlotte Casiraghi. Vogue labeled her the Monégasque royal to watch and praised her wedding dresses as a homage to Italian fashion masters.
In 2021, Beatrice became an ambassador for Dior and showcased her fashion sense by wearing a navy jumpsuit to watch their fashion show virtually. With her two sons, Stefano and Francesco, Beatrice has been photographed flawlessly styling various Dior pieces.
