Hey, anyone know more about these?

No, but I have a similar picture, where Steph shows a happier face. This smile is one of my favourites.

I must say looking at the photo of Caroline from '79-'81, Charlotte looks just like her...

Was the 1982 RC Ball the first Stephanie attended? Its nice to see it was with her mother.

Was there a Rose Ball that year?

Ann

Yes there was and Steph made her debut then Sadly her first and at the same time last RC Ball together with her mother..

 

[Suonymona]

I forgot Rose is before Red. So both balls were held in '82 and '83? The accident was between the Red of '82 and the Rose of '83, yes?

So the last major event all three Grimaldi siblings and both parents attended was National Day or the Red Cross ball?

Rose Ball 1978 - Corbis

 

[monaco70s]

There was a Rose Ball in 1982, you can see pics of it in its Restrospective thread.

1982's Red Cross was indeed the last official function attended by the 3 Grimaldi children with their 2 parents. Stephanie was wearing Grace's 1956 Waldorf Astoria engagement party dress btw.

After the Ball Grace & Rainier went with Caroline and Albert to a cruise in Norway.

There wasn't a National Day in 1982 due to the mourning period.

In Dec. 1982 the family posed for the photos taken in Marchais. The family began appearing in official functions in late Dec. 1982, early Jan. 1983. They attended in Oct. 1982 a mass for Grace, and gave the X-mas gifts at the palace in Dec. 1982.

1983's Rose Ball was the first one they attended without Grace.

Does anyone have anymore pics of the Red Cross Balls 1995 and 1996? There are not as many of Princess Caroline as there are of Princess Stephanie from these two balls. Just checking. Thanks!

Red Cross Ball 1977
(hola)

This is a lovely one because it was immediately after Caroline got engaged to Junot. I don't know if he attended with her or not.

 

[flowerpower]

No Philippe Junot didn’t attended RCB 1977, he only attended RCB 1978/1979, you can find the pics in this thread.
