LOVE the expression on Stephanie's face. Everyone else is smiling, but she's NOT so sure.

Is that Lord Louis Moutbateen in the 3rd pic?

Yes it is.
An interesting snippet about him - I read somewhere that he was a keen fan of Grace & when asked who would have been a perfect wife for his grand nephew, Prince Charles, he was reported to have implied Grace by commenting " there is only one Grace Kelly".

There was a great time for Grimaldi children: Caroline, Albert and Steph were so happy, especially at this photo.
Thank you, Mdeledda, I haven't seen it before.

It's so nice of you to haved sent this wonderful photo of the family. I have never seen before.
Prince Rainier and Princess Caroline are having fun, and Princess Grace and Prince Albert look too serious.
Thank you very much, Mdeledda.

I can't remember having seen the following pic before,
it's not best quality but nevertheless nice I think:

Princess Grace, Prince Rainier, Princess Caroline,
Elisabeth-Anne de Massy and Philippe Junot at the
opera in Monaco in February 1979:

[Elly C]

Thank you Iceflower. I can't remember seeing the photo before either. Grace looks very relaxed & happy to be attending a performance at the Opera House whereas Rainier doesn't seem to be relishing the prospect! This seems to fit with what I've read about their differing tastes.

 

[monaco70s]

Great find Iceflower! There are several photos in the forums of them outside the Opera that night, but never inside.

I have always loved the family photos, in particular, if they are made on holidays, there is a lot of fun, we can see, I love cutie Stephanie here.

Thank you so much, Mdeledda!
I have never seen the photos before.
The first photo is absolutely marvellous, Grace had both beautiful haido and deep green-coloured dress (possibly it's Dior), the bow-belt showed her tiny waist.
Princess Caroline and Prince Albert are so cutie!

The car of the third pic,was displayed in Monaco (2007) in "the Grace Kelly years "exhibition.
They seem a happy family in all pics and the hat of the first pic is very original

 

[dragonfly]

nice to see a happy family

 

[queenofthelight]

There was a great time, both Princess Caroline and Prince Albert were still the children, they were together with their loving parents, Princess Grace and Prince Rainier (1963).

horn-rimmed, cat-eye glasses

Albert, Caroline and Grace (summer 1964)
My Mom used to wear these kind of glasses back in the 60's, too. They were very much in style back then. Momma especially liked them with "diamonds" in the rims! Aren't they back in style?
