A look back at the State visit to France in 1959
The Prince and Princess were hosted by President de Gaulle .
Princess Grace in Paris, 1959
She looked pretty wonderful on this state visit to France. I seem to remember reading that tensions between France and Monaco began to get very tense around this time and culminated in the early 60s with a threatened blockage to trade by France over issues to do with tax exemptions. Grace must have had to be at her most diplomatic during such visits to and from France, President de Gaulle - not the easiest man to deal with!
 
The 6th of April will mark the 20th anniversary of the passing of Rainier III ,the Sovereign Prince of Monaco for almost 56 years!
 
I always thought that hat was hideous. Very 1960s!

It was certainly of its era!
There was a similar one worn to Ireland too ,I'd imagine that there's quite a collection of hats belonging to the Princess.
 
I can’t believe it’s twenty years ago he died. How proud he would be of Albert’s latest projects including the Larvotto district. I bet the twins would have been ‘the apple of his eye’.

She did elevate the families name in certain circles, even a president cannot say they would be upset to be in the presence of a great actress and beauty such as herself. A lucky man the prince

Those 20 years have flown by ,I wonder if the family will have a memorial Mass?
