Exhibit : Grimaldi Forum Monaco and the Automobile........July 1, 2026---September 6, 2026. Below : Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith,Drophead Coupe ,1953. Wedding procession car of Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier III, April 19, 1956 .

The exhibition begins not with speed, but ceremony. The Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith that carried Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace on their wedding day in 1956 sets the tone. Before the engines scream, Monaco remembers elegance. Before the racing line, there is the royal procession. Every car tells a story. Together, they trace over 130 years of automotive passion. In the exhibition *Monaco and the Automobile: From 1893 to the Present Day*, every space has been designed to showcase exceptional vehicles and immerse you in the history of the automobile in the Principality.

Princess Charlene of Monaco always in her best style moment during gala nights. Here are her three best evening gowns in 2026 so far:

1. She attended the Rose Ball 2026 in March wearing a one-shoulder silver gown from Lebanese designer, Elie Saab. The dress is heavily embellished in sequins and crystals and has a floor-length sheer cape.

2. At the closing ceremony of the Monte-Carlo Television Festival in June 2026, Princess Charlene glittered in champagne gold from British designer, Jenny Packham. The gown features high crew neckline and long sleeves.

3. On July 18, she attended the Monaco Red Cross Gala 2026 wearing a resplendent heavily embellished gown in gold from Lebanese designer, Elie Saab.

Princess Grace and Prince Rainier

The Monte-Carlo Sporting Club dressed in gala attire to celebrate the 77th edition of the traditional Red Cross charity event, an unmissable event that brings together royalty and prominent personalities.

As expected, all eyes were on the Princely Couple. Princess Charlene dazzled the attendees, looking stunning in a custom-made design by Elie Saab: a fitted dress with sculptural pleats in a golden tone that shone in the flashes, perfectly complemented by refined earrings by Ole Lynggaard.

July 2026: On the left is Princess Grace's EXQUISITE 10.48 Carat emerald cut diamond engagement ring, as on display in the Wedding of the Century exhibit at the Prince's Palace in Monaco. On the right is an exact replica of the ring, , as manufactured by Clarion Pell, for their Princess Grace collection.

I saw the original ring at a previous Princess Grace exhibit and it is AWESOME ! Although the Princess Grace Collection is no longer being manufactured one is able to find the reproductions of Princess Grace's jewellery, from the Clarion Pell's Princess Grace collection, on various online auctions.

We may not be able to own the real diamond ring but we can imitate life by acquiring a recreation, and feeling like a princess, even if only for fleeting moments in time !

WHEN GRACE KELLY MARRIED PRINCE RAINIER THROUGH THE EYES OF PRINCESS CAROLINE.......At the exhibition celebrating Rainier III and Grace Kelly's legendary wedding, their daughter Caroline wore a gold heart engraved with her parents' names entwined with her own.

Princess Caroline of Monaco certainly wasn't going to miss the opening of Mariage du Siècle, the exhibition at the Prince's Palace in Monaco dedicated to the ultimate royal wedding: that of her parents, Prince Rainier III and Grace Kelly 70 years ago.

Caroline wandered through the Palace's exhibition halls alongside her daughter, Princess Alexandra of Hanover, and her brother, Prince Albert II of Monaco in a necklace steeped in sentiment.

Caroline paired her all-white ensemble, a classic blouse and embroidered skirt by Chanel, with a heart-shaped pendant. The golden heart, dotted with small embedded gemstones is inscribed with the names of her parents — Grace and Rainier — along with her own, Caroline. Intertwined among the three is a large "R": her father's initial, and the letter shared by all three names.

The exact origins of the pendant, worn on a thick gold chain, are unknown. Some claim it was a gift from Rainier III and Grace Kelly to celebrate the birth of their first daughter, but there is no historical evidence to support this.

This may be the first time we've seen the princess wearing the piece — or if not the first, certainly one of very few — which raises the question of whether she dusted it off after decades to honor her parents, the stars of the exhibition, or whether she commissioned it herself, or received it as a gift.

These are all hypotheses. But one thing is certain: with this small yet significant stylistic choice, Princess Caroline of Monaco expressed her love for her parents — carrying them in her heart, in every sense.
