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.

Guided through the Royal Palace in Monaco by Prince Rainier’s servant, Michel Demorizi, Grace Kelly pauses in one of its grand rooms. It is 1955, and the actress is moments away from her first meeting with the Prince. Poised in a full-skirted floral dress, she sits before a massive Gothic revival fireplace decorated with a bas-relief of a knight on horseback. Ornate candelabra and wingback armchairs complete the opulent setting.
