“It is a real pleasure to collaborate with Frida Giannini and Gucci to celebrate one of the House's most elegant symbols: the horsebit.”

“I'm not a princess. My mother is, not I. I am the niece of a head of state. And with this status, I have some representational duties - nothing very constraining or very exceptional.”

“I have no particular formula for staying private.”

“Although I tend to favor a natural look, I also like to have fun with makeup.”

“I've always refused to associate myself with a brand.”

“I'm not one to experiment with lip colors. I tend to go for either red or a soft pink.”

“A manifesto is different from a magazine.”

“Personally, fresh air and exercise help me stay healthy and make me feel great!”

“I'm never afraid of using bold colors or glitter or a stronger lipstick.”

“It's very important to feel good in my clothes. I like fashion that suits me. I don't take it too seriously.”

“I started to ride when I was very young, and it's a sport I have practised for a very long time.”

“It is natural for me not to explain my private life or to answer any questions about my private life.”

“I am fortunate in having people around me who protect me.”

“Competing in show jumping is a school of life. And it's one of the few Olympic sports where men and women are equal.”

“I need both to feel good: the energy of the city and the quietness of the country.”

“Riding uses so many different muscles. I ride two to three horses a day, and I ride almost every day when I'm not working or traveling. You use your legs, your arms, your back. It's a very complete sport.”

“Eventing is way too dangerous. People get killed every year doing cross-country.”

“I do not represent any product or any collection.”

“It's not a question of size, of whether it's a small or a big thing, but of what it has the power to incarnate.”

“To have a natural, healthy glow, you need to spend as much time as you can outside - if you stay locked up in an office, it can take a toll on your mind and body.”
