Prince Rainier III, who has ruled the Duke of Monaco for nearly 56 years since 1945, has also become one of the longest-reigning monarchs in European history. Prince Rainier III was loved by the people of Monaco, loved the country and the beauty, and his marriage to the famous actress Grace Kelly was a sensation around the world.
Recently, however, a documentary has struck the news that Marilyn Monroe — the sexy woman who drove the world crazy — turned out to be the original candidate for the Princess of Monaco.

In a documentary series titled "The Prince: Please Keep the Throne", Prince Rainier of Monaco risks losing his throne.
Prince Rainier was 32 years old at the time, on a mission to create heirs and find ways to help the country prosper again. "If Prince Rainier does not marry and receive an heir, he may lose the throne. This is a very urgent task," said Andrews, a historian at St. Louis University.
"Prince Rainier was told that he should marry a well-known Actor in Hollywood and use all her fame to develop the royal family, and Monaco needs to revitalize tourism to boost the economy." Andrews said.
The documentary revealed that Marilyn Monroe was the first actress to appear on this "alternative" list. At the time, Marilyn Monroe was one of Hollywood's hottest stars. However, Marilyn Monroe was considered too sexy for the role of royal bride, so she was unfit to be the wife of a future king.

However, in 2014, British actress Liz Smith revealed that Marilyn Monroe actually rejected Prince Rainier's marriage proposal.
"Marilyn Monroe devoted her life to her acting career. She also had a budding relationship with Arthur Miller (an American writer and screenwriter) who was not interested in being a royal princess." Smith revealed in the media.
It can be said that Marilyn Monroe did not want to assume the responsibility of procreation heir and fulfill the duties of the mother of the world, but single-mindedly developed her own rising career.
After that, Marilyn Monroe quickly became the most famous star in the United States, but her love life was always complicated. Marilyn Monroe died suddenly on the morning of August 5, 1962, in a mansion in California, next to many empty bottles of sleeping pills. Her death was considered a suicide, but the reason did not satisfy fans.
