Stephanie gave a major inteview in October 2002 to Denis Torato. She spoke about the accident, the runours, her life and family.
I think 'Hello' featured the english version of the interview.

One more of the time :(
It's hard to figure out but I just asked myself if her teeth had already been fixed this day. I think yes but can't see it really.

Well it's a difficult question to answer, since that pic was taken a month later on a mass dedicated to Princess Grace at the Cathedral, on October 1982.

You're right....and since it was a month later I think everything has been fixed.

A few more pictures :(

As far as I know, yes she did for some days as Paul could not be around all the time. Caro slept in Steph's room the nights and comforted her injured little sister. She helped her to eat and and to try her first steps to walk again.

Yes...and vice versa. Stephanie said in an interview: ' If Caroline needs me she knows she'd just have to call and I'd be right there.' :)

It's so sweet, even to imagine Caro helping Steph to eat, holding her to help her walk, staying beside her, sitting on her bed holding her hand, caressing her cheeks helping her to find some sleep.
I remember Caro once said that she filled in a little for being a mother figure for her baby-sis and that she was sleeping in Steph's bed some night just to comfort Steph when she could not find some sleep.

Thanks Michelle for those pics. Stephanie was also there for Caroline when she needed her, when Stefano died Stephanie helped Caroline and her children a lot.

Right, she moved in with Caro and the kids - to be there for them 24/7

[monaco70s]

Yes she did. The family has always been supportive of each other in hard and sad times.

It always breaks my heart to see them like this.
Stephanie was only 17. She needed her mommy. Grace always understood her little girl is hypersensitive and has a very strong personality. But contrary of those who think Steph would have turned out differently if Grace wouldn't have passed away that early I believe Stephanie would have taken more or less the same way of life. Steph just chose to be practical, to do practical things. She needs to create herself, to exist on her own terms. She needs people to understand that she is above all a human beeing, not only a princess. she wants to be loved for herself, not for some role she assumes. I think she succeded.

I like your opinion. I agree people do need to understand she and others like her should be accepted on their own terms, loved for themselves not for the role or position life placed us in.

I'm sorry I don't know much about what happened. Can someone tell me who Paul is ?


Thanks

Thanks

Paul is Paul Belmondo, the son of Jean-Paul Belmondo. He was Princess Stephanie's boyfriend at the time the accident happend. So he cared a lot for Stephanie as well after her mother had passed away.

[Grace]

Can anyone tell me where the sisters were living at the time of the accident? I know Steph was (obviously) in Roc Agel, and Caro was, I think, in England, but did they live in Monaco or in Paris?
And if they lived in Paris, did they decide to move back home after the accident?
