Grace Kelly children photographed together
After the death of Grace Kelly in 1982, the Princess Grace Foundation USA was created in her honour. Now, 35 years on, her three children with Prince Rainier of Monaco have reunited for their first public appearance together in years.
Coming together for a celebration at the Theatre Princess Grace on the eve of what would have been their mother’s 88th birthday, Prince Albert II, Princess Caroline and Princess Stéphanie gathered for a rare photo together.
The event included a screening of The Country Girl, which earned Princess Grace the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1955.
In September, to mark the anniversary of her death, Prince Albert gave a candid interview opening up about how his mother’s death impacted the family, describing the loss as “traumatic”.
“It took a very long time for [Stéphanie] to recover from [the accident], and it was a very painful recollection for her,” Albert said.
“It took a number of years for her to come to terms with that – the pain of being in that car with our mother and not being able to pull her out or to have a different outcome.”
As for his father, Prince Rainier? He was a changed man. “It was pretty obvious that he was deeply affected and he wasn’t quite the same man as he was before the accident.”
