Grace Kelly’s first meeting with Prince Rainier, the man who would become her husband, 1955. To break the ice between two shy people it was decided they should go for a walk in the palace gardens. The couple were married in Monaco the following year. Monaco 1955.

During their first meeting in Monaco in 1955, a walk through the palace gardens was arranged to break the ice between a reserved Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier III. Here, they descend a grand outdoor staircase. The Prince, wearing a dark suit and sunglasses, walks with one hand in his pocket. Kelly is elegant in a floral-print dress, her blonde hair styled up with a braided headband. Surrounded by the magnificence of the palace loggia and its frescoes, the couple—who would marry the following year—both gaze downward as they take a step.
