I often think Rainier III does not get enough credit, both for the kind of man he was and for the kind of ruler he was. He might have been "luckier" to have Grace than she him (though I say that with some bias -she was a woman who could present such a perfect image as to drive a man to idolatry), *howeve* I think she was also very lucky to have him. None of the Hollywood types she'd been connected to in the past could have given her the stable family life she enjoyed nor do they have much of a reputation for faith and fidelity. Rainier adored her in a way I don't think anyone else would or could have.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159967173198170183.post-4276910953937434142010-05-24T13:26:16.339-07:002010-05-24T13:26:16.339-07:00This was *very* interesting, as most accounts of h...This was *very* interesting, as most accounts of him I had seen presented him, as you say, in quite a negative light, either as a decadent libertine or as a grim and unmannerly type. A good corrective to all the comments one hears, like, "Rainier did not deserve Grace," etc.Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18230268418171628594noreply@blogger.com
