Princess Grace did not speak french when she arrived in Monaco.She learnt and spoke french later.
You are desappointed, I am not. She attended to many events untill she is married, officials travels New Zeeland, Nepal where she visited schools and hospitals, South Africa where she met Desmond Tutu She gave him money she raised for his foundation(she is co patron with him of this foundation,). She attended events in monaco, she visited nursery, schools and college Saint Charles) she visited homes for needed people with Albert at the times of National fest and christmas times, she visited the children who made the race of optimist race(she spoke italian with the italian team ( she learns franch , italia and monegash).She attended a gala in Germany and received an award
No need of royal orders , there is a home which is bearing her name now and she was officially presented to the national council last week , she is preparing the presentation of her foundation. Last thing which is very important, SHE WILL OPEN THE PRINCESS GRACE EXHIBITION AT BENDIGO ALONE.
I was at Monaco during the week of the sainte Devote fests, I saw her many times with my eyes, at the gala of the circus, at the two fests of Sainte Devote( I could attend to the mass at the Cathedral, everybody could attend this mass, I saw her on the place of the palace, She was walking with her bodyguard and her dog, she was very smiling not an unhappy wife
She attends a ceremony when the palace thinks it is a good thing, no need to be tied to prince Albert. She makes her own business , Albert makes his own. They are happy together and it is fine
I found some new pictures from the trip to Antigua early this year!
