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 the Royal Palace of Monaco, 1955, moments before meeting Prince Rainier for the first time, Grace Kelly is guided through a grand enfilade by a royal servant, Michel Demorizi. Seen from behind in a patterned, full-skirted dress, she stands within a series of aligned rooms whose open doorways create a powerful vanishing point. The ornate corridor is detailed with damask wallpaper and antique furniture, while dramatic lighting casts long shadows down the polished stone floors, creating a contemplative and timeless atmosphere.
