While her brother Pierre is busy getting beat up and sued by brutish former club owners, Charlotte Casiraghi, fourth in line to the throne of Monaco, has been crowned the newest face of Gucci.

Modern-day princess Charlotte Casiraghi is an equestrian and journalist by trade, but Gucci won't be her first modeling gig -- she covered Vogue Paris just last September. She inherited her royal good looks from grandmother/legendary style icon Grace Kelly and her mother Princess Caroline -- a model in her own right.

As Gucci's "Equestrian Ambassador" the Italian luxury house has outfitted the horsewoman's competitive wardrobe for the past few years so it only makes sense that the two should continue riding into the sunset together. [Huff Po]
