However, the Monaco family has its own stories that are just as intriguing.

We thought you might.
This is the untold truth of Monaco’s royal family.
Unlike their British counterparts, the royal family of Monaco isn’t simply a symbolic position.
Rainier’s death in 2005 didn’t end the Grimaldis' right to rule, of course.
Instead, his son Prince Albert II took over the throne.
Back then, though, the massive structure was meant to fortify the city against pirates.
In 1793, the palace became a victim of the French Revolution.
Monaco was taken from the Grimaldi family and annexed by France.
This ceremony, though, is not unique to the British royal family.
According to theMonaco government, the guards were established by Prince Honore IV in 1817.
Each soldier is also trained in first aid and provides security for public events.
In Monaco in the 1950s, this was true for Prince Rainier III.
After a year-long whirlwind romance that began at the Cannes Film Festival in 1955, the two were married.
There was no question that Kelly could never continue her career if she accepted Rainier’s proposal.
At Diana’s first public event, she was reportedly overwhelmed by the media and uncomfortable in her dress.
Diana claimed the night was a “horrendous occasion.”
Then, she met Grace Kelly at the Buckingham Palace reception.
You’ll see it’ll only get worse."
It’s not entirely surprising then thatForbeslisted Prince Albert II’s net worth at a staggering $1 billion.
Compare that toQueen Elizabeth II’s fortune, which Forbes lists at $500 million.
By comparison, each UK tax payer pays just $1.60 in taxes to the royal family annually.
Later that year, according toVogue, she met Prince Albert II in Monte Carlo at a swimming competition.
In total, theLos Angeles Timesreported the event cost $70 million.
The Daily Mail noted that members of other European royal families attended as well.
As theDaily Mailexplained, Albert fathered two children during his bachelorhood.
One citizen who saw the wedding up close told the Los Angeles Times that “she looked tragic.
He looked horrified,” and “even outside you could feel the tension.”
My grandfather was a man I admired.
I was very close to him."
The Palace further toldBBC Newsthat the film was “by no means a biopic.”
An understandable sentiment, as raising one toddler can be difficult enough at times, let alone two.
However, the princess also said of motherhood, “I discover, I learn.
I find it marvelous following their evolution, accompanying them on this path.”
Charlene had just returned to Monaco after spending six months in South Africa.
“I want to make that very clear.
These are not problems within our relationship; not with the relationship between a husband and wife.
It’s of a different nature.”
A month later, the palace confirmed that the infection had led to “multiple, complicated procedures.”
She stayed in South Africa while she was recovering, according to areportfrom News24.
By July, Charlene was still too unwell to travel, which meant she missed her 10th wedding anniversary.
“I miss my husband and children dearly,” she said in astatement.
Throughout September and October, Charlene had several other procedures (viaCNN).
In November, she finally returned home.
