They had one son and one daughter: * Marie Odet Jean ''Armand'' Chapelle de Jumilhac (1875–1952), who became the 8th and last Duke of Richelieu, as well as the Duke of Aiguillon and Marquis of Jumilhac, upon the death of his father in [[Athens]] on June 28, 1880.

At the time, Albert was still in an unhappy marriage with [[Lady Mary Victoria Douglas-Hamilton]]. Albert's first marriage was eventually annulled by the Church on January 3, 1880, and he and Alice began a relationship soon thereafter. Alice married Albert on October 30, 1889, shortly after his accession.<ref name="64 parishes">{{Cite web|url=https://64parishes.org/entry/alice-heine|title=Alice Heine|website=64 Parishes}}</ref> According to Thomas Fouilleron, director of the Monaco Palace Archives, "Prince Albert I was deeply in love with her. It is one of the very first love marriages of the Principality".<ref>{{Cite web|title=Alice Heine: life and myth of Monaco's first American princess|url=https://www.monaco-tribune.com/en/2021/01/alice-heine-life-and-myth-of-monacos-first-american-princess/|first=Francesca|last=German|date=22 January 2021|access-date=29 March 2023|website=Monaco Tribune|language=en-US}}</ref> Albert was interested in [[oceanography]] and was often on sea expeditions. While he was away, Heine took a greater interest in the Monegasque opera season. She "set about bringing class and distinction to a country financed by the casino at [[Monte Carlo]]",<ref name="64 parishes"/> and devoted her energies to making Monaco one of Europe's great cultural centers with its opera, theatre and the ballet under the direction of the famed Russian impresario, [[Sergei Diaghilev]]. Her affair with singer-composer [[Isidore de Lara]] resulted in Prince Albert slapping her in view of an audience at the [[Opéra de Monte-Carlo]].<ref>{{cite book|first=Anne|last=Edwards|title=The Grimaldis of Monaco|publisher=[[William Morrow and Company|Morrow]]|date=1992|pages=168, 176}}</ref> Alice and Prince Albert I separated judicially on May 30, 1902 (Monaco), and June 3, 1902 (France), but remained married. Upon the prince's death 20 years later, Alice became the Dowager Princess of Monaco. She did not remarry.
