Let me give you a detailed introduction to the lives of these two "peerless beauties" and "sad princesses" -
I. Grace. Kelly
Grace Kelly was born into a wealthy family in Philadelphia, USA. His father was one of the richest people in the United States, who won three Olympic gold medals and went on to succeed in his own business. Her mother was the founder of women's sports in Pennsylvania. There is also an older sister, an older brother and two younger sisters in the family. Grace Kelly, the third in the ranking, has been well-behaved and intelligent since she was a child, and she is regarded as a pearl in the palm of her parents when she is young, which can be described as a proper white rich beauty.
Although she comes from a family of sports, Grace Kelly is not interested in sports at all, but is full of yearning for the performing arts.
After graduating from high school, Grace Kelly wanted to apply for the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and expressed to her parents that she wanted to pursue a career in acting. Although she was rejected by her parents, in the end, her mother could not bear her insistence and chose to support her, and let Kelly's uncle, George as a playwright, be the leader of her acting career. In 1949, Grace Kelly graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and officially entered the entertainment industry. In Hollywood in the forties and fifties of the twentieth century, there were many gorgeous and peerless beauties, but the cold and elegant temperament made Grace Kelly quickly stand out even in this beautiful entertainment industry.
In 1951, Grace Kelly won the appreciation of directors Hitchcock and Fred Kinnemann with her noble and elegant temperament and unique performance methods, and starred in a series of classics such as "Noon", "Red Dust", "Rear Window", "Telephone Murder" and so on.
In 1954, only 5 years after her debut, she won the 27th Academy Award for Best Actress with the movie "Country Girl", becoming one of the hottest stars in Hollywood at that time, and the following year she met Prince Rainier III of Monaco under the arrangement of a French magazine film editor when promoting "Country Girl". The handsome and polite Rainier III took Grace Kelly on a tour of the Royal Palace of Monaco. Although the two have only been together for an afternoon, they are deeply attracted to each other.
After that, Rainier III launched a fierce attack on Grace Kelly, and all kinds of jewels came to him, even Grace Kelly, who had seen a big scene, fell. In 1956, the two married at the Royal Palace of Monaco. More than 1,600 journalists and photographers flocked to Monaco from all over Europe, and MGM Pictures filmed the entire film, covering millions of viewers around the world.
However, the prince and princess did not live happily together after marriage. Grace retired after marriage, and even the invitation of the great director Hitchcock was rejected, because the Monaco royal family did not allow her to be an actress as a princess. And they believed that her first priority was to give birth to an heir to the royal family, or Monaco would be annexed to France.
Even sadder may be that Rainier cheated when she was pregnant with her eldest daughter. She is also said to have consulted a divorce lawyer. Because divorce means no custody of children. Anyway, Grace's married life is unhappy. The husband and wife looked like they were cheating on each other.
In 1981, Grace had a fierce argument with Grace and her young daughter at the time, and after the mother and daughter quarreled, Grace drove the princess out and rushed out of the cliff without controlling the speed. After the incident, the royal family declared that the princess was fine, only slightly injured, but the news of Grace's death was spread the next day. Confusingly, while Grace was still resuscitating, her husband pulled out her respirator in front of the doctor. Grace ended her young life in this way.
2. "Runaway Princess" Charlene
Unexpectedly, decades later, Grace Carey's daughter-in-law Charlene also repeated her mother-in-law's tragedy.
Charlene was born in an ordinary family in South Africa, and since she was a child, she loved to swim with a tall figure and exquisite face, and was known as the "South African mermaid". Charlene not only loves swimming, but is also quite talented in swimming, not only has achieved results in many national swimming competitions, but has even represented South Africa in the Olympic Games and championships many times. In 2000, Albert II saw the mermaid-like Charlene at the swimming championships, fell deeply, and then began a crazy pursuit of her.
At that time, Charlene was just a 22-year-old girl, and she could not withstand the coaxing of Albert II, a veteran of the love scene. Charlene, who was not good at words, was quickly impressed by the eloquent Albert II. As the relationship deepened, the two made their romance public at the opening ceremony of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin.
The love between the two went smoothly and happily as expected, and even Charlene converted to Catholicism for Albert II.
In the summer of 2011, Albert II and Charlene decided to get married after years of love running.
However, the expectation of marriage had not yet cooled, and Charlene did not expect that the first thing she had to face was the illegitimate children of Albert II. What makes Charlene even more difficult to accept is that some of the illegitimate children appeared during their date with Charlene.
Charlene's original thought of romantic love was shattered by the cold reality.
After learning the true face of Albert II, Charlene's first thought was to leave him immediately and return to her native South Africa, but how could the Monegasque royal family, which had publicly married, allow such a discrediting thing as repentance to happen?
Charlene decided to run away from marriage.
When she asked the South African embassy in Paris for help in the name of a wedding dress, she was soon found by Albert II and brought back to Monaco.
During an F1 race, Charlene sneaked off the track and was caught by police at Nice airport, and her passport was confiscated by the royal family.
As the wedding date approached, Charlene still did not give up the opportunity to escape, just two days before the wedding, Charlene stole her passport while everyone was busy preparing for the wedding, only to be discovered by Albert II when she was about to board a plane to South Africa.
In July 2011, Charlene burst into tears at a three-day, $70 million wedding dress, dressed in a dream wedding dress studded with tens of thousands of diamonds and pearls, and people jokingly called her "Princess of Sorrow".
After marriage, Albert II remained merry and had many illegitimate children. In the face of the repeated romantic behavior of her husband Albert II, Charlene was completely disappointed in him. After having his own dragon and phoenix fetus in 2014, he put all his energy into taking care of children and charity.
Life was supposed to go on peacefully and wavelessly, but who knew that later Albert II would have summoned his old lover to the palace. The old lover not only attended royal events, but even directly accused Charlene of not caring enough about her husband. In addition, at the beginning of 2020, Albert had another illegitimate child of only 15 years old.
Charlene's anger can be imagined, on this Christmas, she suddenly shaved half of her hair, wore rugged big earrings, and wore smoky makeup, looking alternative and rebellious. Perhaps, in this way, she can vent her dissatisfaction with this marriage and live her true self.
Throughout Grace. Kelly and Charlene's lives have been both lucky and unfortunate. They also have amazing beauty, proud talent, and fame that is envied by thousands of people, and they are all married into prominent royal families. But they also lost the career they loved, the love they had from the beginning, and buried their youth and happiness in this cold and ruthless royal family.
