Once Upon a Time unveils her thoughts and feelings on the wedding that captured the imagination of the world, the royal family's shocking prenuptial requests, and the sacrifice of her career. Perhaps for the first time, we see Grace in all her complexity: the daughter whose heartbreaking relationship with her father colored her every decision, the down-to-earth young woman who accepted a proposal from a man she barely knew and leapt into an unknown culture and destiny. Here are honest and full portrayals of Grace and Rainier, not only as prince and princess, but as a married couple and as parents struggling with the conflicts that can challenge any household. Based on hundreds of exclusive interviews with friends and relatives, Once Upon a Time reveals the very real - and less than picture perfect - men and women of the Kelly and Grimaldi families. Randy Taraborrelli gently draws back the curtains of secrecy. When the Academy Award-winning actress took on the role of Princess of Monaco, it looked like a dream come true. Even without a title, the slim, goddess-like blonde radiated a queenly air of purity and unshakable serenity. When Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier III, she crowned her career with an ending even Hollywood would have never dared to script. Randy Taraborrelli comes the candid and moving story of one of the world's most fascinating royal families.
