Jordan Bardella, French Far-Right Leader, Dating Italian Princess
Photos confirm that Jordan Bardella, France's far-right presidential hopeful, is dating Princess Maria Carolina Bourbon-Two Sicilies. French gossip magazine Paris Match published pictures of the pair together on a Corsican beach.
French gossip magazine Paris Match published photos confirming that Jordan Bardella, leader of France's far-right National Rally party, is in a relationship with Princess Maria Carolina Bourbon-Two Sicilies. The pictures show the couple together on a beach in Corsica.
The pair reportedly first met during the Monaco Grand Prix in May of last year. Princess Maria Carolina is an Italian socialite and member of the former royal family of the Two Sicilies, a historical kingdom in southern Italy.
Bardella, 29, has positioned himself as a potential presidential candidate and represents France's anti-immigration, nationalist movement. His party often criticizes political and economic elites, making his relationship with royalty potentially complicated for his political brand.
The romance had been rumored for months before the magazine photos provided confirmation. Princess Maria Carolina comes from one of Europe's oldest noble families, creating an unusual pairing with the populist political leader.
This relationship could affect Bardella's political image as he seeks the French presidency. Far-right politicians often campaign against elites, but dating royalty might seem contradictory to supporters who feel left behind by wealthy establishments.
Watch how Bardella's supporters react and whether this affects his political standing ahead of future elections.
