Author Jeffrey Robinson lived in the South of France for many years and got to know Princess Grace and her family. Prince Rainier's only stipulation to him was, "Tell the truth."

"One of the best biographies of the year." -- St. Louis Post Dispatch "Rekindles the magic of the century's greatest love stories." -- Daily Express "Wonderful." -- USA Today "Creates a picture of a fascinating woman and an enduring love affair." -- Boston Herald "The first inside story of the world's most glamorous family." -- Sunday Mirror Infodad blog, 7/9/15 "There is a fair amount of information here about Monaco, much of it interesting history...The book's discussion of how their public-relations work was handled by Nadia Lacoste certainly offers insight into celebrity management and marketing--at least in the 1950s...Robinson's book shows clearly how Grace and Rainier fit the "untouchable" model of celebrity, with people wanting to know everything they could about them, see as much of them as possible, but never for a moment believing that the glamorous lives of Grace and Rainier were anything like their own mundane ones...Grace of Monaco is a story of what celebrity used to be and how it changed over time."
