Monte Carlo, Monaco
There is a country, a principality, a magic kingdom that sits on the Mediterranean coast between France and Italy called Monte Carlo (Monaco) that attracts an incredible number of celebrities. From F1 race drivers, tennis stars and entertainment figures like the late actor Sir Roger Moore. Partly famous for its tax haven status but also for its glamorous lifestyle it’s been home to many top music icons like Bono and Ringo Starr. But, perhaps its most famous resident of all was an actress named Grace Kelly.
The End Of A Real Royal Fairy Tale
She was a highly acclaimed Hollywood actress in the 1950s who starred in a number of classic films such as Rear Window, To Catch a Thief, and The Country Girl, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. But in 1956, Grace fell in love and married Prince Rainier III, Monarch of Monaco. Grace retired from acting at the peak of her career to focus on her royal duties, to raise her family and support numerous charities. She became the world’s most famous princess and on September 14, 1982 she died as a result of a car crash.
Today in an alcove in Saint Nicholas Cathedral in Monaco that’s known as the Chapel of the Princes, rests the casket of the American actress and princess, Grace Kelly. She was laid to rest in the Grimaldi family vault in the Chapel of the Princes because of her marriage to Prince Rainier III of Monaco and that made her the Princess of Monaco.
