History of the office
Official residence of Minister of State

The office was created in 1911 with the adoption of Monaco's constitution. Until the revision of the constitution of 2002, the Minister had to be a French citizen, selected from several senior civil servants proposed by the French government. Since 2002, the Minister of State can be either French or Monegasque and is chosen and appointed by the monarch, after consultation with the French government.
