Princess Grace was born Grace Kelly in Pennsylvania in 1929. After being rejected from Bennington College in 1947, she decided to continue as an actress in theater. From her theater work she then continued into T.V., which lead to a career on the silver screen. Her popularity increased as she starred in such films like Rear Window, Country Girl and her final Alfred Hitchcock film, To Catch a Thief. During a visit to promote a film in the Cannes Film Festival in 1955, she was invited to meet Prince Rainer III during a photo session at the palace of Monaco.
Prince Rainer III was the ruling sovereign of principality of Monaco. He, as the prince, had to follow a treaty that was given to his country Monaco. The treaty of 1918, given by France, stated that if Rainer did not have a son to continue on the sovereignty, Monaco would become a part of France. He needed to marry, and he decided to visit America while on a tour. During his trip, he met the Kelly family and eventually proposed to Grace Kelly. The two married on April 19, 1956 and soon after had children.
Monaco was saved from being under the reign of France.
