They successfully create families with ordinary girls who, after marriage, become real princesses and sometimes queens. At the same time, the princes themselves feel happy.

Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco

The love story of the American actress Grace Kelly and the Prince of Monaco was like a real fairy tale. She came to the reception at the prince's palace in a crumpled dress and with half-dried hair due to the blackout in the hotel. However, this did not stop Rainier III from falling in love with the beauty at first sight. However, the actress answered him with full reciprocity. She even gave up her career to devote herself to her family. Unfortunately, the last years of Grace Kelly were not at all like a fairy tale, but this is a completely different story.
