Grace Kelly

Before Meghan Markle, there was Grace Kelly— an actress turned princess when she married the Prince of Monaco, Prince Rainier III, in 1956. Kelly got her degree in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts at the age of 19. She joined the entertainment business despite her parent’s inclination towards sports. For her short time spent in Hollywood as an actress, she was able to grab an Oscar for best actress. The actress is best described as sophisticated and classy amidst the flock of daring and sexy stars at that time.

Perhaps, those are the qualities that made the prince fall in love with her. At the age of 26 and at her prime, Grace left Hollywood to be the Princess of Morocco. Their love serves as an inspiration to many. Prince Rainier did not even remarry when his princess passed away in 1952. Instead, he devoted himself to his work and to their children.
