Grace Kelly & The Monaco Royals

Summary

While some dream of an Oscar and others a royal crown, Grace Kelly won both, creating for herself a life filled with public adoration, professional accolades and personal joys. But the Princess of Monaco’s time on earth was too brief — she died in 1982 from injuries suffered in a car crash at the age of 52. Even so, her early allure lives on in classic films such as To Catch a Thief and High Society, and her generosity flourishes in charities such as her namesake arts foundation. Now, her children with Prince Rainier — Princess Caroline, Prince Albert II and Princess Stéphanie — have children of their own, a new generation to carry on the legacy of Her Serene Highness. In the Story of Grace Kelly & the Monaco Royals, we look back at Princess Grace’s Hollywood roles, the love between her and Prince Rainier and who’s who in the House of Grimaldi today.
