The cause for the actress' panic?

And, Grace could simply not feel happy about the match.

The ever-caring younger sister apparently replied, “You let her get hurt, Gracie.

There is no other way.

Then you just have to be there to pick up the pieces.”

In the end, this is exactly what transpired.

After all, Junot’s uniquely attention-grabbing jet-setter lifestyle was not a good fit for Caroline.

And, the rumors that swirled around him were hardly beneficial for the Monegasque crown.

In the end, though, separate investigations into Junot’s bloodline have put these claims into question.

If anything, his whole past was shrouded in mystery.

Part of the reason for this lack of transparency might have been Junot’s tendency to bend the truth.

At one point in his youth, Junot was even said to have lied about his educational background.

And, to make matters worse, Junot was known for being ultra-secretive about his professional endeavors.

Apparently, the young man hated being asked what he did for a living.

How he earned a living was nobody’s business, he insisted."

It also seemed to fascinate a number of young women.

But, some sources allege that Junot was not just a playboy he wastheplayboy.

Thrice-weekly gym sessions keep his figure trim.

His hair is thick and dark, his tan light but as constant as George Hamilton’s.

A ‘hard day’ at the office hardly ruffles the European-cut suits on Junot."

The difference between me and other people was that I actually did it …

There was nothing wrong with the way I lived."

According to J. Randy Taraborrelli, Junot approached Caroline first, calling her “fatty.”

As Taraborelli noted, “She didn’t seem to mind [the opener]” on the contrary.

In fact, things between Caroline and Junot gotsoserious that the princess began second-guessing her plans for the future.

Ultimately, Caroline decided to study at the Sorbonne in Paris to be closer to Junot.

Far from getting away with this secret Mediterranean escapade, Caroline and Junot were stalked by the paparazzi.

At one point on the trip, someone snapped a picture of the Frenchman kissing Caroline’s nude breasts.

In the face of this embarrassment, Caroline’s dad tried to remain calm.

Thus, when the Frenchman asked Caroline to marry him in 1977, Rainier and Grace were aghast.

I really didn’t know him very well."

Just one day later, the pair wed again in a religious ceremony, per Monegasque princely tradition.

Meanwhile, other guests includedAva Gardner and her ex-husband Frank Sinatra.

Of course, the wedding was an extremely lavish event beyond the impressive guest list.

This all forced Bohan to redesign parts of the gown at the last minute.

Bad memories aside, however, Caroline admitted, “It’s amazing.

I married Philippe because I was in love with him.”

This behind-the-scenes deal left a sour taste in Caroline’s mouth.

Soon after this incident, she and Junot began to argue and it seems that they never really stopped.

She’s been hurt."

Taraborelli wrote, “Paparazzinothired by Junot caught him in the [seemingly romantic] company of others …

Soon after, Caroline was doing the same thing.”

They divorced in 1980.

For years after the divorce, Junot could be spotted between glamorous nightclubs and chic resorts.

The royal expert revealed, “He seemed to feel obligated to keep them entertained.

Naturally, Junot’s single status also allowed him to mingle with all sorts of people.

And, throughout most of the 1980s, he continued to go out with many different women.

As a result, Junot spent the 80s leaving a trail of scandalous headlines in his wake.

In 1987, it was announced that the French partygoer was engaged to the Danish model Nina Wendelboe-Larsen.

At the time, he was 47 years old.

Wendelboe-Larsen was just 24.

Despite this age difference, Junot insisted that his second marriage would be much more serious than his first.

The engagement ring was also said to be stunning.

Unfortunately, though, there were several major problems with this match.

Before meeting the playboy, Wendelboe-Larsen did not even know who Junot was.

This sense of naivite may have led to the ultimate failure of the relationship.

Indeed, the couple separated in 1997 after a decade together.

Beyond all the pomp, though, the most important part of the wedding was the emotional element.

It’s very exciting.”

Junot laughed as he thought about how long ago that was.

“Mucho tiempo,” he said.
