Thanks for your interest ...we will send you periodical emails as we update the archives.

In the meantime, enjoy these images that were not included in the book as we cannot post them publicly.  

You will not often see public photos of Joan Dale with Princess Grace because Joan stayed out of the limelight, and was usually cropped out of photos by photographers who just wanted to feature Princess Grace and Prince Rainier.

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.

despite this book featuring the compelling true story and eyewitness account of the movie’s fictionalized portrayal

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
