If you were married in 1956, you share a milestone with one of the most famous couples in 20th century history. Hollywood actress Grace Kelly and Monaco’s Prince Rainier III shared wedding vows on 18 April 1956 (which would have been 65 years in 2021).

Perhaps you could make this your own regal celebration? Children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren may well want to club together to organise an extra-special celebration – like a family break in a castle. There are many to choose from, and this would be a wonderful gift for the “royalty” in your extended family.

Fairytale Marriage… The Prince and the Actress

  • Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier III of Monaco were married on 18 April 1956. 
  • A former child actor and model, Grace Kelly gained her first big break in 1952, starring as Gary Cooper’s wife in High Noon. 
  • Her performance in The Country Girl, as the wife of an alcoholic songwriter played by Bing Crosby, won Kelly an Oscar in 1954. 
  • She played opposite Jimmy Stewart that same year in Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window.
  • It was while filming another Hitchcock movie, To Catch a Thief (1955), on the French Riviera that Kelly met Prince Rainier, and he subsequently initiated an extended correspondence to woo her. 
  • She retired from acting at 26 to marry the prince, and they had three children: Caroline, Albert II (the current Monaco monarch) and Stéphanie.
  • Grace Kelly tragically died at 52 years of age, when her car plunged off a Cote D’Azur mountain road on 14 September 1982.
  • Prince Rainier passed away on 6 April 2005, from complications relating to a lung infection believed to have been caused by his frequent smoking (60 cigarettes a day).

    You need to call the records office and give them date of marriage and where and date they will check it and do it for you. You need the anniversaries person. I have just done it for my mam and dad albeit belated. Good luck
