What it's truly amazing, more than all the work he's done for his country, is the memory P. Rainier left on his children and grandchildren. Eighteen years after his death, his memory remains so present not only in his children, but in his grandchildren, some of them being so young when he died... More than castles, buildings or money, that's the true greatness and legacy of a man, the true legacy of a prince... :crown4::crown4: :crown4:
 
With all the events surrounding the 100 th anniversary of Rainier’s birth, does anyone know if there has been a special book or magazine published in commemoration?
 
Its wonderful to see the ongoing celebrations to mark the Centenary of the birth of the late Rainier III.
The next one will be in 2029 which marks the Centenary of the birth of the late Princess Grace/Grace Kelly.

I wonder if this might be when Albert announces plans to have a permanent museum dedicated to his mother. There was talk of it many years ago, about the time when the inaugural exhibition about Grace was at the Grimaldi centre. It proved to be so popular and various versions of the original exhibition were mounted in many cities across the world.
 
As part of this year's commemorations of the centenary of the birth of Prince Rainier a tribute ceremony to Prince Rainier was held at the National Council in Monaco today, September 8.

Prince Albert, Princess Charlene, Princess Caroline, Princess Stephanie, Andrea, Charlotte, Louis and Camille attended.

Looks like a cool party but that image of Prince Rainier III on the back is giving me AI art Burt Reynolds in Smokey and the Bandit. I would have changed it for an actual photo image.
