The Royal House of Monaco
by John Glatt
For more than seven hundred years the Grimaldis have ruled the tiny principality of Monaco. Perched like a glittering jewel on the lush Cote d'Azur between France and Italy, Monaco has long been the playground of the world's rich and beautiful. When Hollywood star Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier in the 1950s, she made Monaco and its royal family icons of style and fashion. But with her tragic death in a car accident in 1982, the myth began to crumble. John Glatt offers an intimate look at the world's most glamorous royal family, including:-New details about Princess Grace's death from a nurse at the hospital where she died and the best friend she spoke to the night before the accident-The never-before-told story of Grace Kelly's secret abortion before she married Prince Rainier-An in-depth interview with Prince Albert in which he talks candidly about his love life and the false rumors of homosexuality that haunt him-A portrait of Monaco as a police state in which everyone is under constant surveillance, with the first interview ever given by the former head of the Monaco secret police-The scandalous story behind Princess Stephanie's marriage and messy divorce from bodyguard David Ducruet.
Ever After
by Anne Edwards
"A first-class piece of research and reconstruction graced by a first-class writing talent, with a startling royal family scandal buried at the heart of the story." - Barbara Tuchman on Anne Edwards' Matriarch: Queen Mary and the House of Windsor "This is the stuff of fairy tales," said the Archbishop of Canterbury on July 23, 1981, after the 20-year-old Lady Diana Spencer arrived in a glass coach for her wedding to Prince Charles. But everyone knows how that fairy tale ended. Drawing upon intensive research and interviews, acclaimed biographer Anne Edwards, well-known for her revelatory and incisive books on members of Britain's royal family, here uncovers new details of Diana's life and her search for love; of her family background; and of a betrayal, historic in its outcome. What the public did not know at the time of her storybook wedding was the true story of Diana's troubled childhood-of the cold, autocratic grandfather who disdained her father, who was himself an abusive husband obsessed with having a son to inherit the Spencer wealth and title. When Diana married Prince Charles, she joined the equally troubled House of Windsor, and was caught up in a plot Shakespearean in its deception and eventual tragic ending. Anne Edwards paints a vivid portrait of a woman desperate in her marriage, fearful of her life, who became devious-and often brilliant-in the moves she played in a treacherous royal chess game. As in her superb biographies of other royal and celebrated women, Anne Edwards transcends the one-sided views of Diana in a work that must be called definitive. At long last, and with all of the insight and narrative drama that have marked her previous bestsellers, Edwards brings us the first full-scale, authoritative portrait of a more intelligent, more resourceful, and sometimes more ruthless woman than we have seen before.
