News about Grace Kelly

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS: Grace Kelly's light shone brightly and briefly in Hollywood. She made 11 films in five years before retiring aged 26 to marry Prince Rainier of Monaco. In that time she won an Oscar for best actress for her role in The Country Girl (1954) and became world famous for her roles in three Alfred Hitchcock films, Dial M For Murder (1954), Rear Window (1954) and To Catch A Thief (1955).

It was one of the feel-good moments of the decade - the union of Prince William, handsome heir to the throne, and elegant commoner Catherine Middleton on April 29, 2011. Even the British weather agreed, with the clouds parting has the new husband and wife emerged from Westminster Abbey to greet the public - and found themselves bathed in golden spring sunshine. Many of us still have fond memories of those moments. And today, on the anniversary of the Waleses' wedding, we hope to jog a few of those with this A-Z of a glorious occasion.

Princess Charlene and Prince Albert of Monaco looked dapper as they stepped out to enjoy a day at the races. The royal couple was snapped, alongside their twin children, Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques at the 2024 E-Prix taking place at the Circuit de Monaco in Monte-Carlo today. The former Olympic swimmer was the pinnacle of fashion in a sleek black jacket with gold embellishments and a pair of long white trousers. While her husband, 66, looked sharp and elegant in a blue suit jacket and grey trousers. The family stood patiently while the race winner Mitch Evans was presented with his trophy, after he put on an impressive performance leading for the majority of the 31-lap contest.

The family-of-four celebrated Monaco being added to the list of countries to appear in Miniature Wonderland, one of the most popular tourist attractions in Germany.The family put on a sartorial display, with Charlene and Gabriella wearing cream ensembles and Albert and Jacques donning navy outfits.

Channel 4 's The Paiano is set to return to screens after a heartwarming first series last year . The talent show puts a camera on amateur musicians, invited to perform on public street pianos. Though the competitive element is kept a secret from contestants, judges line the best performers up for a finale at the Royal Festival Hall. Its debut was Channel 4's best-rated new format since 2017, boasting 2.7 million viewers on average, with blind and autistic child Lucy getting 'performance of the night' in an inspiring finale. So, when is it back? Who are the presenters? And who will be judging the unknowing contestants?

Prince Albert of Monaco, 66, shocked customers when he was spotted solo dining for lunch at celebrity hotspot, San Carlo, a restaurant based in Alderley Edge (right). The royal looked suave in a smart black trouser suit, crisp white chequered shirt and some highly polished shoes as he posed with his arms around two of the restaurant's managers (left). The son of Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier III was seemingly dining at the Italian restaurant without his wife Princess Charlene or their children, Gabriella, and Jacques. The father-of-two is known to be a keen football fan and has surprised Manchester City fans by appearing at some of their previous games.

It was about 11pm, just before I got into bed, that I heard a ping from my phone. I assumed it was a text from BA cancelling my flight the next day, but it was an answerphone message with the caller ID coming up 'Unknown'. When I listened, I heard a deep, Northern-accented voice saying slowly and deliberately: 'You haven't got back to me. It's been four weeks. I saw you in that shop that one time. Get back to me NOW!' It was extremely unpleasant. Of course I didn't want to speak with this man and, in any case, with his number withheld, it was impossible to return the call.

Airbnb saw a remarkable 93 percent increase in bookings in Ravello, a city located approximately 15 minutes away from Atrani, a seaside town with a local population of less than 1,000 people where Ripley was filmed. Bookings in Minori, another lesser-known spot just 8 minutes away from Atrani, increased by 63 percent, according to the home-sharing site. Released earlier this month, the Netflix series Ripley comes 25 years after the Amalfi Coast was stunningly featured in the 1999 film adaptation of Highsmith's novel. As tourists flock to the picturesque town, local residents and business owners are bracing themselves for unprecedented challenges posed by large crowds this summer.

Suits, the TV legal drama, which first aired a decade ago and ran for nine steel and glass seasons, has been snapped up by the BBC in a curious move, given it's been available on Netflix for over a year, becoming the most streamed show of 2023. We all know that Meghan was in Suits before she married into the Royal Family (well, we know now - I'd never heard of Meghan until she paraded in a cream coat around the gardens of Kensington Palace.) And it's no longer a pre-requisite for royal brides to have never had a life, a previous husband, or even gainful employment. No, my problem with Suits is that it's humourless trash, although we can't blame Meghan for that.

You don't have to rule out footballers and their WAGs getting married, because it's not every day you hear about a bride'kidnapping her wedding guests. David de Gea is the only one who asks. The former Manchester United goalkeeper and his partner Edurne Garcia carried their wedding guests away in many vans, without having any advance warning to make their 'unforgettable day' a memorable one.'

The Amalfi Coast has long been a draw for celebrities and tourists alike, with its glittering sea, towns that look like film sets, and a rich tradition of A-list visitors. Whether it's the pearl of Ravello, the clifftop Sorrento, or Positano, which follows a steep hillside, there are plenty of places visitors can visit to soak up the sun and culture. Now, Ripley's latest Netflix series is expected to draw more attention on the Italian coast, especially for the locals who live there, which is likely to be unwelcome. The Amalfi Coast was spectacularly displayed in Patricia Highsmith's book "The Talented Mr Ripley" in 1999 film version. For decades, Amalfi has been a favorite of Hollywood royalty. Greta Garbo, Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, and Gina Lollobrigida were among the many eager visitors. Princess Margaret spent her holidays there with wealthy merchant banker Mario D'urso. However, in recent years, the stretch of coastline has been flooded with selfie-hunting visitors who have surprised locals. Officials in 2022 went as far as banning some tourists from the road to try to solve the overcrowding epidemic.

Spring is here, and Capri pants are hotter than ever, with the fashion set adorning them all over Paris's streets. The bottoms (also known as pedal pushers) are longer than shorts, but not as long as trousers, with a hemline that typically begins at the midcalf. A 56% rise in demand for Capri pants has been seen on Stylight, the world's biggest search engine for fashion, beauty, and design.

During their spring break in Kaua'i, Hawaii, Alessandra Ambrosio's mini-me daughter Anja posted several new photos on Instagram. Mommy and her lookalike daughter were enjoying a great beach vacation in Los Angeles, Anja is on break from school. Both were seen splashing around on the shore as they went for a dive.

Fashion celebrities attended shows in Paris, New York, London, and Milan. With the likes of Princess Eugenie and Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark gracing the festivities, real royalty made its way to the event. Princess Alexandra of Hanover, on the other hand, made news with a vintage Chanel gown that had been worn by her mother, Princess Caroline of Monaco in 1990.

A royal birthday in Monaco's billionaires' playground is normally a moment for commemoration, fireworks, civic salutation, and a family appearance on the balcony of the Prince's Palace to welcome the crowds. A rendition of Happy Birthday from a military band in dazzling outfits. However, this year, Prince Albert, who is 66 today, may be forgiven for wanting to keep a low profile due to a humiliating remark made regarding the House of Grimaldi's spending habits, which are palatable even by Monte Carlo's lavish requirements.

Charlotte (pictured left) has reportedly developed a close friendship with Nicolas (pictured right), 45, the winner of France's coveted Goncourt Prize. According to Paris Match, the pair'never leave each other.' According to Voici, Charlotte reportedly dropped her French film producer husband Dimitri Rassam (inset) after four years of marriage.

After visiting the Oscar museum in Los Angeles, Jazmin Grimaldi said she has a'special link' to her grandmother Grace Kelly. Prince Albert of Monaco, 32, paid tribute to the relative she never met in a sweet Instagram post on Sunday, before heading to the AIDS Foundation Oscars party in Elton John. Grace died in a car accident ten years before Jazmin was born, meaning the pair never got to meet. Grace posted a video of herself posing with an Oscar statue next to a clip of Grace receiving her Best Actress Award in 1954, a video that was taken from her Instagram account.

When the first dress that Jacques Azagury designed for Princess Diana fell short of records at auction late last year as the most expensive of her gowns to sell at auction, the couturier was travelling around India. He had withdrawn from fashion and closed his eponymous shop in Knightsbridge, south-west London, when the auction took place at Julien's Auctions in Los Angeles.

After posting a video of her in what seemed to be a wedding gown, Jazmin Grimaldi has sparked rumors that she may have married her partner of eight years Ian Mellencamp. Prince Albert of Monaco's daughter, who turned 32 on Monday, appeared in a clip shared by her long-distance beau. The video, which was posted on Instagram, showed the couple on their travels around the world, including a love lock on a bridge, celebrating Valentine's Day, and a variety of hikes around the country. In one shot, the actress holds on to her dog Frankie Bleu by a poolside and appears to be wearing a white wedding gown (right). With an engagement ring, left and inset.

In the Riviera Maya on Monday, Alessandra Ambrosio showed off her abs and bikini body on Instagram. As her brown hair fell in the water, the model, 40, posed in a tiny white bikini with lace. She wore sunglasses and a bold red lip that brought out her sun-kissed skin.

According to French publication Voici, the couple 'had been going through a crisis for some time.' Charlotte, who is eleventh in line to the throne of Monaco, and Demitri, a French film director, became engaged in 2019. On October 23, 2018, the couple welcomed their son, Balthazar, and held a civil wedding reception at the Prince's Palace of Monaco on June 1, 2019. Charlotte, 37, and Dimitri, 42, died after attending a religious service at Sainte-Marie de Pierredon, just south of Saint-Rémy-de Provence.

Because of actress, beauty, and fashion icon Grace Kelly, the Monaco royal family has a enviable glamour. However, the late fashionista, who married Prince Rainier in 1956, isn't the only princess of Monaco with enviable royal style - and she doesn't have the funds to buy it. Princess Charlene, the former Olympic champion, has become well-known for her eclectic fashion sense, often rewriting the rules of royal style conventions. Charlene's designer looks have given her the top-of-the-frocks crown year after year for the royal with the most expensive wardrobe from the red carpet to more formal royal functions.

For those, being a royal may not be the most demanding career in the country, and it does not come with many perks, such as the use of palaces and priceless jewelry. However, a number of royals have skills on the other hand, away from their public-facing positions. These royals have extra jobs, from truck driving to selling artwork for huge sums of money. Zara Tindall's efforts at riding, which have resulted in her winning an Olympic medal among other accolades, are among the most coveted of these talents. Here, FEMAIL looks at some of the most talented royals, and you should be surprised by at least a couple of them (inset: Queen Margrethe II); King Charles; Prince Albert.

Here are 100 films that I believe every person should see at least once in their lifetime, and all of them should make you laugh, cry, gasp, or think. In some instances, perhaps all four are present. I hope my list would bring you some good cinematic treats, or better still, introduce you to them. Happy viewing!
