She dressed with impeccable taste and sophistication, spoke with perfect delicacy, and had an infectious, light laugh that spread happiness throughout her life. Her death was a tragedy mourned by the whole world and the people of Monaco still can't believe that the dream is over and their princess gone.

Casting the spell of a princess wherever she went, Grace was the personification of refinement, serenity and beauty. She dressed with impeccable taste and sophistication, spoke with perfect delicacy, and had an infectious, light laugh that spread happiness throughout her life. Her death was a tragedy mourned by the whole world and the people of Monaco still can't believe that the dream is over and their princess gone.
In this unique book, Grace's friend and favourite photographer, Howell Conant, now reveals his truly intimate portrait of the woman behind the mystique of stardom and royalty. Taken over twenty-six years — many of them never before published — his photographs bring us Grace's life, both public and private, in Monaco Palace and on Hollywood sets. Alongside unguarded moments he caught, during her spectacular wedding to Prince Rainier and on other state occasions, Conant also shows us a Grace we've never seen before, playing charades at a family party and visiting a Monaco orphanage, wrapping Christmas gifts and making peanut-butter sandwiches for her children.
With Conant's personal anecdotes embellishing this loving portrait, Grace reveals as never before not only a glamorous Oscar-winning film star and serene monarch but also a loyal friend, caring mother and loving wife, documenting the private worid of one of the most enchanting women of our age, and the glamour of a golden era.
