It’s been 40 years since Hollywood sweetheart Grace Kelly, aka Princess Grace of Monaco, tragically died in a car crash on her way back to her Monte Carlo palace on September 14, 1982. The actress – often regarded as one of Alfred Hitchcock’s muses – had swapped her status as showbiz royalty for real-life royalty when she married Rainier III, Prince of Monaco, in 1956.
Royal roots
Born on July 15, 1998, in Monte Carlo, a ward of the city state of Monaco, Camille Gottlieb is the daughter of Princess Stéphanie and Jean Raymond Gottlieb, a former security guard at the Palais Princier de Monaco, per British media. Though Stéphanie and Jean had only a brief relationship, Camille has maintained close ties with both of them.
In a rare interview with French publication Point de Vue, the now 24 year old shared, “Without them [her parents], I could not live. They did not stay together very long, but they always said to me, ‘We have desired you, and our happiness is that you are here.’”
She grew up with her two step-siblings from her mum’s one-year marriage to Daniel Ducruet – Louis and Pauline – even calling the trio the “Three Musketeers”, per Hello!
