As Somerset Maugham put it, "Monaco is a sunny place for shady people."

[@jmfs8738]

The fairy tale love story you’re pushing is not true. Very soon after the wedding Grace Kelly became a virtual prisoner to Rainer’s temper, refusal of her continuing career, financial manipulation (stealing her dowry and personal earnings), and his continuing affairs. She was extremely unhappy with few personal contacts throughout the marriage, and was refused divorce. It was only the year of her death, when was finally able to break out somewhat by selling her watercolors to Wacaol who was preparing sheets with her designs - that she could finally enjoy some personal hope and freedom. This is the general outline of sad facts.

It's a shame that their son continued with the family legacy of treating one's spouse harshly. It appears as though Charlene has experienced the same thing at Albert's hand that Grace did at Rainier's. She never looks happy when she's with him, has reportedly experienced severe mental health issues, and rumor has it that she's tried to leave him but is prevented from doing so. Hopefully Charlene and Albert's children will break the curse.

[@nygrl6102]

This story tells nothing about Princess Stephanie and why she was considered the black sheep.

[@CrazyCatMom11]

Well, it's a video about Rainier, not Stephanie, so I'm not surprised the narrator didn't go on a tangent to discuss Stephanie's life.

[@MadininaCarribean]

Euh this accent meh....not very understandable right away.

[@kitkat186]

Princess Stephanie was overindulged as a child and therefore a self indulgent adult, who flouted the rules and embarrassed her family, with husbands who were more interested in what she could give them. His youngest daughter embarrassed him too many times, and never learned from her mistakes. So in death the father has reined her in, she has a choice live carefully or the money will be gone before her time is over. It will be a miserable existence for her then.

[@mottawa1]

She lacked a complete education.

[@AnnacolleenEtters]

We don't know how Princess Stephanie treated her father. You don't remember how his daughter acted outrageously, each week, in her 20s, trying to embarrass her father. I do, though. She ignored duties,

[@marionreinders9362]

She’s still his daughter. Most certainly traumatized.

[@cb7324]

Wasn't Stephanie in the car when her mother died? Wouldn't THAT have given her pause to reconsider what's important in life after witnessing her mother's captivity by Rainier? Then there's survivor's remorse...

[@marionreinders9362]

@ yes she was.

There is a lot of speculation that Stephanie was driving, not Grace. ​@@cb7324

[@MadininaCarribean]

Rainier lookliked a lion with the temper of a lion. He elevated Monaco to his highest potential and contributed to create this gem that Monaco is today. He has been a good leader with big ambitions & goals for his country and he made it, he paved the way for his son for him to go further. Rainier did his best with what he had. His son admitted in an interview that his father had a temper and his tantrums were explosive and scary. He claimed that he feared him even as an adult. It says a lot about Rainier.

[@hninzilwin3288]

Actually it was Grace that brought about the transformation of Monaco from a sleepy little place into what it is today

@@hninzilwin3288 She helped him with his big vision. He knew she was the right woman to marry. She was Hollywood Royalty after all !.He made the right choice marrying her. She leveled up this tiny place in the world, made it known worldwide. Grace was a good association for him. He had a good instinct of what was good for him and his principality.

[@thevocalcrone]

@@hninzilwin3288 Rainier was not a particularly attractive person and he insisted on the 2million dowry from Graces family to marry her (which apparently her parents resisted initially). Monacos success (and its current status) is largely down to the connection she had made during her acting career.. it became a magnet for celebrity .. plus there were still actors that loved her and wanted to help her. and by default rainer so they were basically the walking talking advertisements. Rainier did not have that attraction or connection to celebrity.

[@marciaspiegel5280]

Just gotta love evil greedy wealthy people who'll stop at nothing to control their plans.

[@heidibee501]

It is certainly interesting as a background but we need more about Stephanie than the fact she was the black sheep 9f the family. Im guessing even 1% was not too shabby.

[@Guitarbarella]

She does heaps for charity.

[@MadininaCarribean]

She was the rebel one, wild, edgy, free-spirited and she payed the price for it. But beside that, she does a lot of charity/humanitarian work. I like how down to earth and real she is.

[@fashionistalagerfeld1954]

She gave her parents nothing but trouble. She joined the circus, this is one. Married her guard, this was two. And sang in her own band. The circus got me the most. I think she embarrassed her father more than anything.,she really was just a spoiled brat and a loser .

[@Guitarbarella]

@ maybe go look at what she has done for charity and never believe the gossip mags, also the circus in Monaco is very well respected as most European circus’s are.

[@Guitarbarella]

AND what is wrong with marrying a commoner? she has worked her whole life after her schooling as a model and designer, launched her own perfume when young and owns and ran stores. And she is a tireless worker for AIDS campaigning and visits countries affected by it, she grew up under a strict catholic family and did it all in front of the paparazzi. that’s not a brat. You can only say that if you founded a charity and raised a lot of money and contributed more than her.

[@BlackStump172]

Ranier and his son were and are creeps . No , he did not sweep her off her feet . It was a business deal .

[@MadininaCarribean]

The Royalty of England has his story told in a TV/Netflix show called The Crown. The Principality of Monaco, to this point in history, with everything that happened in the history of this dynasty, and a lot happened, a producer should find the guts to tell the story of the Grimaldi's which could be interesting. And Margot Robbie should be cast as Grace Kelly. She's a classic vintage beauty just like Grace was. I'm sure she could nail this part !

[@clairelivefreeordie2551]

Sharon Tate would have perfect in this role

[@MadininaCarribean]

@clairelivefreeordie2551 Way too young at the time but yeah she would have been a good princess and Rainier would have been a much better husband for her ! But Sharon Tate looks nothing like Grace Kelly, Margot Robbie or the model/actress Doutzen Kroes both do, and could make a good job portraying Grace Kelly.

@@heidibee501 I believe from watching previous videos about Grace, she had previously had at least one abortion. Whether or not she would have told Prince Rainier about this, I do not know.

@@ritakennedy3138 many documentaries and books are out there about Grace. A lot of contemporaries don't speak about someone when they're alive but are more open once they have passed and time has passed. Grace had affairs with many of her leading men in Hollywood, that is common knowledge.

[@TXNanna3]

She was always gorgeous.

[@debbiekelly1800]

Would love to believe this fairytale but thats all it is. Prince Rainier had documented affairs through his marriage much to Princess Grace's chagrin. His predeliction for wild oats even seemed to be inherited by his son later on. Princess Grace did not appear a happy soul in the film interview she did before she died, just resigned and respecful of her role in Monaco. She did so much to improve the kingdom with her charity work but she lived in a gilded cage. Frankly i was shocked by her payment of a huge dowry to marry him😮 but of course really only her family know the truth and indeed all of her children went on to have multiple marriages or scandalous liaisons after her early demise. I would have hoped she had deserved more in her life......

[@TheWhore2culture]

On the whole your vids are interesting & fun filled, be they facts or gossip, but, apart from mentioning his youngest legitimate daughter in the title & then briefly saying she received a hugecshock getting only 1% of his total assets,which - & here anyone who isn't dyslexic like myself can correct me - but,Rainier's estate was valued at around $1.5Billion, which woukd leave her with about $15million. You glossed over pretty much everything else; it was not just Rainier who had a scandalous reputation, Kelly was well know for never spending a night alone,unless by choice. This promiscuity in both parents passed down to their children,Albert has almost enough illegitimate children for a football,team,one of the reasons that poor Princess Charlene has made multiple efforts to leave him. Caroline ,the most elegant & poised of the "children" has done exactly what she's wanted from the moment she came of age. Stephanie,who was in the car when it crashed - an horrendous experience for anyone - has had her ups & downs,including an attempt to be a Euro-pop star,joined a circus & had some very dubious relationships, both with people & illicit substances. Monaco is tiny principality with strange tax incentives,that if it was organised by someone not playing the Royal card,might well be seen as criminal. Kelly,far from living a fairy tale actually lost all but,$10,000 & & a small cottage in Ireland, where her grandmother had once lived,loosing all her savings& money from her parents & due to both her parents snobbery over Oleg Cassini - to who whom Kelly was secretly engaged - there's little doubt she'd have been happier with Cassini,not only could she have continued to act - she was an Oscar winner - but,surrounded by European decadence & Rainier's disreputable friends,she found out that he he had three mistresses. Princess Grace got on with her children,charity work & white wine. The whole thing was all about outward appearances & ultimately desperately sad for all concerned.
