She's had a string of affairs all her life, from bodyguards to butlers to acrobats, but that hasn't stopped Princess Stephanie from crushing on a new potential mate - this time a man in the music industry.

Monaco's Princess Stephanie has confessed she is a huge fan of new pop sensation Mika.

The princess praised the singer, whose debut single is named after her actress mother Grace Kelly, and revealed she had watched him perform via a download.

She is quoted in Britain's The Daily Express newspaper as saying, "He is very talented and handsome and I'm sure my mother would have liked the song very much."

The Beirut-born London-based chart topper says he chose to dedicate a song to the Hollywood icon - who retired from acting when she married Prince Rainier in 1956 - because she was perceived as a rebel, like him.

He said, "The song is all about identity and what people expect of me and how I'm perceived. I think Grace Kelly was a rebel and I liked that about her, rather than actresses like Audrey Hepburn or Sophia Loren."

The Oscar-winning actress starred in a number of hit films including "Mogambo, "The Country Girl" and "High Society." Kelly died at age 52 in 1982, after being involved in a car crash.
