India Casiraghi is seen as the heir to two major family dynasties because of her background. On her father’s side, as the daughter of Andrea Casiraghi, she belongs to the House of Grimaldi and the Principality of Monaco. On her mother’s side, Tatiana Santo Domingo is descended from industrial magnate Julio Mario Santo Domingo, India’s maternal great grandfather, whose vast fortune helped build major business empires in brewing and media. To this day, the Santo Domingo family remains one of the most powerful and influential dynasties in Latin America.
