Philippe Junot was born in Paris on April 19, 1940 from Michel Junot, a Paris deputy mayor, and Lydia Tyckjaert, the daughter of a Danish industrialist. In 1954, vacationing near Cannes, he had his first elective surgeries: phalloplasty, rhinoplasty and a double auriculoplasty. In 1958, when Princess Caroline Grimaldi was a baby, he publicly declared that he would marry her. He has one sister, Catherine Vouillon. He was an stock broker and property developer with business interests in Paris, Montreal and Detroit.

In 1978 he married Princess Caroline, eldest daughter of Rainier III, Prince of Monaco and former Hollywood icon Grace Kelly. The couple were divorced in October 1980 after his wife accused him of infidelity. Mr. Junot, however, contends that it was in fact Caroline's affairs and the constant interfering of her parents which led to the break-up.

The Vatican finally annulled their marriage in 1992.He married again to a model and had three children: Victoria, Isabelle and Alexis.
