It seems like after Grace’s death, they weren’t as close to all the royal families that Grace cultivated a relationship with. I always was in assumption that after her death, Monaco lost that American glamour and just became another European royalty.
I didn’t know Grace wanted Albert to marry a Spanish princess.
Monaco might be less glamorous after the Grace/Rainier era but the Principality is, if anything, even more prestigious with a seat at the UN.
And there is no major gathering of European royalty in the last 40 years since Grace's death....not even one...that has not featured a representative of the House of Grimaldi.
Finally....the idea that Caroline met Karl Lagerfeld through Ernest of Hanover is absurd. She has known him since she was a teenager.
In fact....the entire notion that this gorgeous, elegant and sophisticated woman was "ignored" on the Continent until she became HRH is beyond ridiculous. Go through archived issues of Point de Vue and Paris Match in the 70's, 80's and 90's and see if you still feel that way.
Marriage to Ernst gained Caroline nothing she didnt aready have except her beautiful 2nd daughter.
