The fateful technique was the reception, which was organized by Prince of Monaco for representatives of American cinema. A young "Oscar-free" actress of stunning beauty immediately struck Prince Rainier III in the heart. He decided that he was met by his princess, which was already looking for so many years, and immediately began to the process of conquesting the heart of the girl.
Grace was fascinated by courtship and attention to her prince. He showed himself attentive and educated fan. They conducted a long correspondence through the ocean, as a result of which Rainier came to America.
