I really hope so. Just can’t believe that, had she lived, she would have been that age.

I know here in Ireland there was a lot of hype in 2011 to mark the 50th anniversary of the State Visit to Ireland by Rainier III and Grace ,there were numerous exhibitions and it was on the news too.
Princess Grace still seems to have strong Irish presence even after her death.

Plus there’s the legacy of the Irish Library that seems to be central to ensuring the ties between the two nations remain strong.
Thought it would be a good idea to add the link here for people on the Forums who may not be aware of the history of the Princess Grace Irish Library.
Some of the Press links at the bottom of the Home page look very interesting, but there’s loads so I think it would take sometime to look at them all!

Princess Grace had such a wide collection of books,manuscripts and other objects associated with her Irish heritage and the setting up of the Library in 1984 was a wonderful tribute to the Princess.

I don't know what it is and please don't think I'm a weirdo but I can just stare at Grace's pictures for ages and then I get really emotional. I've cried a few times.

The Brown Thomas department store in Ireland recently celebrated 175 years. Princess Grace made a visit in 1961.

The 1961 visit caused a huge sensation in Ireland After the formal visits the Princely Family went on a holiday to the West of Ireland and stopped off in my hometown for lunch.
All school children were given the time off to line the route and my mother recalled being told my the nuns at school to wear their Sunday best for the event!
