It was one of the most famous romances of the 20th centuryEurope’s most eligible bachelor, Prince Rainier of Monaco, and America’s most beautiful movie star, the Academy Award-winning actress Grace Kelly, fell in love against the backdrop of the closest thing the modern world has to a magical kingdom, the French Riviera’s Principality of Monaco.

There is a fair amount of information here about Monaco, much of it interesting history The book's discussion of how their public-relations work was handled by Nadia Lacoste certainly offers insight into celebrity management and marketingat least in the 1950s Robinson's book shows clearly how Grace and Rainier fit the untouchable” model of celebrity, with people wanting to know everything they could about them, see as much of them as possible, but never for a moment believing that the glamorous lives of Grace and Rainier were anything like their own mundane ones Grace of Monaco is a story of what celebrity used to be and how it changed over time.”
