SEE ROYALTY IN MONACO

Everywhere in the principality of Monaco, which is less than two square kilometres, there are reminders of Princess Grace and the rest of the Monaco royal family, from street signs to theatre names.

The best place to begin is the State Apartments at the palace where Grace and Prince Rainier would entertain visitors. The princess redesigned The Blue Room used for official receptions. It’s here that blue silk brocade lines the walls and lounges, and Venetian chandeliers hang. Walk into the regal red Throne Room to see the last-commissioned portrait of the royal family, which takes pride of place, depicting the couple and their children Caroline, Albert and Stephanie as if in the clouds.

A short walk from the palace is St Nicholas Cathedral, where the couple married in 1956. It’s also Grace’s final resting place; she tragically died in a car accident nearby in 1982. A simple marble slab reads “Gratia Patricia”.

At Monaco’s most iconic five-star property, the Hôtel de Paris Montecarlo, there’s the elegant Princess Grace Suite, a two-floor penthouse offering 180-degree views of the Mediterranean from three terraces and a patio. This was one of the princess’ favourite venues, and the suite’s interiors display her work and personal souvenirs. Be sure to visit Monaco’s Princess Grace Rose Garden, conceived by Prince Rainier III in memory of his wife, featuring over 315 varieties of rosebush. visitmonaco.com.
