Prince Albert of Monaco II's daughter is opening up about her fight against the novel coronavirus.
Back in March, Prince Albert, who is the second child of Grace Kelly, appeared to be the first head of state to publicly announce he had contracted COVID-19. In an Instagram post this week, his daughter, Jazmin Grimaldi, who was born in California, opened up about her own experience fighting off the virus.
"I am so thankful that I am starting to finally feel like myself today after almost three weeks since I first felt Covid symptoms. I am grateful to be alive and healthy at this present moment," Grimaldi, 28, begins in a lengthy Instagram caption.

Ex: headaches, ear aches, fatigue and diarrhea. I am just trying to do all I can to gain my strength back and build my immunity, patience is key but I am happily on the road to recovery."

Grimaldi, who wrote the caption underneath a selfie of her donning a pink t-shirt, said the "vicious mysterious virus" has the ability to affect anyone.
"Please don't be careless even if you personally seem to not have symptoms or think you have immunity," she wrote. "Think of the others beyond yourself that our (sic) helpless. We don't have enough answers but a lot of cases continue to increase and even people have begun to relapse and contract the virus again."
She added that there are still "a lot of questions and unknown answers" surrounding the global health crisis.
