But since the death of Princess Grace in 1982, the tiny fairy-tale principality has spun out of control, as one scandal follows another. Prince Ranier, Prince Albert, and Princesses Caroline and Stephanie are constantly in the headlines. Here are the extraordinary stories behind the bereavements, sexual betrayals, and hasty divorces that have plunged The Royal House of Monaco into decline and uncertainty. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar sheet.
