Les Monégasques
of Grace Kelly?
or will she strike out on her own, and start developing her own “brand”, sort of speak?
Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco reported $58 million wedding was staged as to “rival” Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier III, but history will note the asterisk that remained on their marriage, as Charlene almost became a run away bride, and rumors
of more paternity tests in the works for Prince Albert.
Yes, Princess Charlene projects a serene personality which sometimes can be mistaken as being slightly austere, but pensive. Which is good, because it is most likely who she is, and why should anyone want her to change that?
As for Grace Kelly, well, Princess Grace remains in our memory as majestic and ultra chic.
In modern times, her sense of style and savoir fair is often replicated, but alas, never duplicated.* Don’t forget to participate in our End of Summer Giveaways, listed here on High End Weekly™.

The Beaches of the French Riviera
With over 560 miles consistent of both sand and shingle beaches, the French Riviera is the playground of the well-traveled who are seeking what is perhaps not so often seen in modern times – extraordinary privacy, luxury, and sheer exhibitionism. Once you arrive at the Nice Cote d’Azur or Mandelieu airports, the A-8 auto route is merely a short gap between the plane and your favorite hotel or resort destination.Obviously the summer months are the ideal time to visit, but don’t be put off by visiting this earthly paradise all-year long because it is blessed with mild winters and an average of 300 days of sunshine. Here are several events to keep in mind while visiting the Riviera.
- January: Monaco and southeast France; Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo
- January / February: Monaco; International Circus Festival of Monte-Carlo
- February: Nice; Carnival
