THE HIGHEST INSIGNIA AWARDED BY THE PRINCE TO HIS SUBJECTS IS THE ORDER OF SAINT CHARLES . IT WAS PART OF A STRATEGIC INITIATIVE CREATED IN 1858 BY PRINCE CHARLES III HIMSELF . IT PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE DURING HIS TRANSFORMATIONAL REIGN — AS HE CHARTED A PATH TO CREATE THE MODERN MONACO THAT TODAY WE TAKE FOR GRANTED . A MODERN THRIVING ECONOMY WITH THE CASINO BUSINESS AND TOURISM AS ENGINES WAS UNDERPINNED BY ARISTOCRACY AND CELEBRITY . A RAILROAD LINK AND A HIGHER PROFILE ROLE ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE WERE ALL PART OF THE NEW DYNAMIC THRUST .
