I read many times the themes was chosen by P. Caroline, don´t know if every year. I think she´s advised by the decorators.

Has anyone found more pics from the 60s and 70s Rose Balls?

[lazuli]

Hello everyone
i've noticed that the only photos of 92's Rose Ball posted inthis trhead simply are not available... I´ve some of these pics published then by Hola that i'll try to scan and post. Pss Caroline looks so sad in the photos... as if she were somewhere else but there. And indeed she didn't atend the 91's edition of the ball, obviously!

Rose Ball 1987

Beautiful face

Arrival at Rose Ball 1987, (Officiel online)

[queenofthelight]

Princess Caroline has a very beautiful face. She looks like her mother- Princess Grace very much. Thank you, Flowerpower for your work and photos!!!

[grace marie]

For me Charlotte is a little more beautiful than her mother. And she's brunette like me. But the most beautiful was Grace.

I always thought of it as a slight to PAntoinette's daughter who always escorted her mother never recieved a bouquet of flowers- I understand that she is not a princess of the realm- but c'mon its not like Monaco has a aristocracy. Flowers should be given to all female members of the family @ official functions

Is it just me, PGrace had something special- even though she born american- she had royal persona about her-Like her parents knew it at birth to name her Grace---------I think Grace the name came from her father's sister or something like that.

She was Monaco's Goddess, if you will- after the all the infighting among the Grimaldis

[Nathalie Cox]

I guess you are right. She had something royal...some royal "aura" that maybe many of the current royal don't have. She was the Goddess of Monaco

Princess Grace Rose Ball 1976

[Nathalie Cox]

^Aww she looks so beautiful there!

[Ilse]

She does! She always reminds me of Catherine Deneuve.

Princess Grace did not have important jewels and wore loans.
The most beautiful jewels were owned by Princess Charlotte and inherited by her grand-daughter Caroline (Cartier and Fringe tiaras).
Charlène will certainly wear Princess Grace's favorite tiara we never saw anymore.
