THE PRINCE AND THE ACTRESS… The wedding of Prince Rainier III of Monaco and Grace Kelly, 1956. Photograph, vintage silver print, captioned (dated label) and stamped on the back. 18 x 22.7 cm. Note: This photograph, taken in 1956, captures the wedding of Prince Rainier III of Monaco and American actress Grace Kelly, one of the most widely publicized social events of the 20th century. Held on April 18 and 19, 1956, this union between a European monarch and a Hollywood star caused a huge international sensation and was quickly dubbed the “wedding of the century.” Already an Oscar winner and at the height of her film career thanks to films that have become classics—notably those directed by Alfred Hitchcock—Grace Kelly soon after left the film industry to become Princess of Monaco. The event drew journalists, photographers, and news crews from around the world, helping to enhance the Principality’s international prestige. This vintage print thus serves as a precious record of one of the most iconic unions in contemporary history, at the intersection of cinema, royalty, and the media culture of the 1950s. A tear at one corner tip. Note
