Prince Albert of Monaco officially opened an exhibition celebrating the life of his late mother Princess Grace yesterday (11.07.07).
The show, being held at Monaco’s Grimaldi Forum, marks the 25th anniversary of the princess’ tragic death in a car accident.
The highlight of the exhibition is Grace Kelly’s wedding dress, which she wore when she married Prince Rainier in 1956.
The Philadelphia-born actress donated the gown to the Museum of Philadelphia and this is the first time it has returned to Monaco.
The show also features dozens of the princess’ magazine covers and trailers from her many movies.
Albert and his sisters, Princesses Caroline and Stephanie, gave the exhibition their full support. They even released never-before-seen letters and photographs, as well as their mother’s entire wardrobe.
The show also includes letters from Cary Grant, Bing Crosby and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
The exhibition continues until Sept 23 and will then be staged in London.
