Over 190 photographs Her Hollywood Movies Her Fairy-tale Wedding Her Glittering Royal Life Her Years as Loving Wife and Mother The Tragedy of Her Death
64 paged hardcover book with torn dustjacket. Book in good condition.
The demise of kings carries its own peculiar brand of fascination, but the death of Her Serene Highness Princess Grace of Monaco on 14th September 1982 transfixed the Western world with the suddenness and terrible finality of one of Providence's most cruel blows. There was nothing remotely artificial, nothing merely diplomatic, about the tide of sorrow and condolence that flooded the tiny principality from all corners of the earth that day. Paying its own tribute to a Princess who more than lived up to her name, this book covers her short but meteoric Hollywood career, which, indirectly led to her scintillating and romantic wedding. It follows her whirling social life as she adapted readily to her new royal role, and shows how perfectly she combined it with her predeliction for good works and charitable causes. Throughout the latter part of the book, the close family ties which, despite occasional distress, made Monaco's reigning family one of the most delightful in Europe, are colourfully illustrated. Those who look and read will surely shake their heads as they remember her words: "People say I'm the perfect Princess, but that's silly."
