Refreshing eyewitness account of Grace Kelly's life and marriage as Princess Grace

What was it like to be best friends for 25 years with a princess who has become an iconic legend? A behind-the-scenes account of what Grace Kelly's life and marriage was really like, after she became Princess Grace of Monaco. Intimate stories that only the closest of friends can share, including a 17-day vacation with her family the month before Grace’s tragic death - with over 70 never-before-seen personal photos, letters and diaries that offer refreshing insights not found anywhere else. 

Note: Although the book “My Days with Princess Grace of Monaco” contains the detailed true story of the historic crisis in which Grace Kelly was to return to Hollywood at a time when Prince Rainier almost lost his crown and country, it is not affiliated with the Nicole Kidman movie "Grace of Monaco" 

This is a sample of the chapter, "Days of Crisis", a detailed eyewitness account of what really happened during the 1962 crisis between Monaco and France, when Grace Kelly was to return to Hollywood at a time when Prince Rainier almost lost his crown and country. Joan Dale was Princess Grace's closest friend in Monaco, and Martin Dale (a former U.S. Diplomat) was Prince Rainier's closest advisor at that time – many of the incidents involved in the crisis revolved around them.
