Princess Victoria of Savoy Stars in First Major Film

Princess Victoria of Savoy, 22, is stepping into the spotlight with her leading role in the film 'Toi + Moi - Seuls Contre Tous.' The movie, an adaptation of Emma M. Green's novel, is slated for release on Prime Video in September. Victoria plays Alma Lancaster, a student whose life is upended when she meets Vadim Arcadi, a fellow student with a vastly different background and outlook.

Victoria, daughter of Prince Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy, made her debut at a promotional event in Paris alongside co-star Lucas Barski. The princess, who has previously appeared in a short film and the suspense miniseries 'La Mère et l’Assassin,' expressed her excitement for this significant project. She was born in Switzerland and grew up between Monte Carlo, France, and Italy. Her academic background includes studies in Political Science and Art History, followed by training at the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York.

The princess's passion for acting is deeply influenced by her mother, the acclaimed French actress Clotilde Courau. Initially intimidated by comparisons to her mother, Victoria found crucial support that emboldened her to pursue acting professionally. "Suddenly I felt understood, alive, and liberated," she shared about her experience embracing the craft.

For the film's promotion in Paris, Victoria sported a rock-inspired look, including leather pants, a jacket, and a Rolling Stones t-shirt. She has stated her preference for theater and art over the traditional princess image of tiaras and ballgowns. "I want to do theater, art. Tiaras and long, shiny princess dresses... that's not me," Victoria remarked in a recent interview, highlighting her desire to forge her own path in the arts.
