Grace Kelly (later to become Princess Grace) at the Royal Palace just before she met Prince Rainier for the first time. One of Prince Rainier’s personal servants, Michel Demorizi, guided her around some of the great number of rooms of the Royal Palace. Monaco 1955.

In 1955, just before her first meeting with Prince Rainier, Grace Kelly tours the Royal Palace in Monaco. Guided by the Prince’s servant, Michel Demorizi, she pauses in quiet contemplation before a model of a steam-powered ship. Dressed in a dark, floral-patterned gown with a full, draped skirt, her hair is styled in an updo fastened with a decorative hairpiece. Her serene reflection is faintly visible on the glass of the display case, superimposed over the intricate model.
