'Marie Juliette Louvet' (
May 9,
1867 –
September 24,
1930) was partner of Prince
Louis II of Monaco and was the mother of his only child,
Princess Charlotte of Monaco.
Known as Juliette, Louvet was the daughter of Jacques Henri Louvet (
1830 –
1910) and his first wife, Joséphine Elmire Piedefer (
1828-
1871).
She married photographer
Achille Delmaet on
October 6,
1885 (his best known photographs are nudes of ''
La Goulue'', a
cancan dancer of the
Moulin Rouge). The Delmaets were divorced on
January 14,
1893; they had two children, Georges (1884-1955) and Marguerite (1886-1894).
Juliette Louvet became an entertainer of sorts, reportedly a cabaret singer (other sources identify her as a laundress and a dressmaker), then was Prince Louis' lover. She gave birth to their daughter, Charlotte, in Algeria on
September 30,
1898.
