Non-Fiction Biography
Her Serene Highness, Princess Grace of Monaco, the
legendary Hollywood screen siren, Grace Kelly is an American
icon whose beauty is unrivalled, and whose oft-imitated
aristocratic style and cool elegance has never been eclipsed. Wendy Leigh- after three years’ research – has gained
unprecedented access to over one hundred sources who have
never talked about Grace before, including nine of her until
now undisclosed romances - among them an English aristocrat,
an American tennis player, and a Hollywood legend – and also
including her priest friend, Father Peter Jacobs, and
Bernard Combemal, the former head of the S.B.M, the
consortium that runs Monaco.
Wendy Leigh provides revealing new details about Grace’s
life, including her premarital romantic swan song which took
place during her voyage to Monaco, the hitherto untold story
of her troubling relationship with bridesmaid, Carolyn
Reybold and the moving story of Grace’s lifelong
relationship with actor, David Niven.
Wendy Leigh paints a compelling portrait of Grace, the
ambitious young actress, Grace, the dutiful princess who
transformed the principality of Monaco into a jet-set haven,
Grace, the kind-hearted philanthropist, Grace, the loving
mother, and Grace, the patriotic American.
Wendy Leigh’s book has not been written for those readers
who wish to view Grace as a saint, but for those who – like
Leigh herself – believes that she was a strong and wonderful
woman.
