I've often wondered why there were no royal guests at the wedding despite all the media attention,its like either they all stayed away or were not invited

Wasn't because the couple wanted their own day to be special without any clamor? That's why they both looked so serious, aside form the obvious nervousness I guess.
The intrusion of the media was just inevitable.

I think the reason for the absence of royals (except for ex King Farouk of Egypt and the Aga Khan) at Rainier and Grace's wedding was a combination of the old thing about Monaco being rather vulgar, 'a sunny place for shady people', the fact that Grace was a Hollywood film actress not a Royal, and the Monaco royals having few links, familial or otherwise with other royal Houses in the 1950's.

That's what I was also thinking in later years Rainier III and Grace became close with the Spanish Royal Family ,wonder what Queen Ena made of the Hollywood-Monaco marriage.

Which of the Hollywood newspapers and movie star magazines had representatives to cover the wedding of Grace?

Ena was the godmother of Prince Albert and by all accounts a close friend of Grace and Rainier so she must've approved. https://goo.gl/images/8vbPZ4

I remember reading I think in some biography that Queen Ena was one of the few royals who supported Rainier and Grace's wedding, and thus becaming a godmother to Albert and a good friend to the couple. The reason for the support was due to her own experience at the spanish court, she never felt welcomed, even though she was of royal blood.
