He even agreed to her making another film ('Marnie' with Alfred Hitchcock, which would have been totally unsuitable!). So she came to terms with her situation and went on to have a deeper relationship with Prince Rainier, who was aware she had made many sacrifices to stay at his side and tried hard to make her happy. Her lawyer told her it was Monaco law and she had agreed to it. She asked her lawyer to look into it, report back and 'never mention it again'. Part of the marriage settlement stipulated that if the marriage failed she would have to leave the children behind. There was a period when Grace became deeply depressed and considered leaving Rainier. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
No I haven't but I found him an excellent reader, Have you listened to any of Edward Herrmann’s other performances? How does this one compare? It takes the listener on a journey from her first meeting with Prince Rainier and the protracted conditions required for her to become Princess Grace of Monaco - from medical tests to determine her childbearing ability to the shock of having to pay a $2 million dowry, to her tragic death in 1982.
