The Grimaldis of Monaco tells in full the remarkable history of the world’s oldest reigning dynasty. For nearly eight hundred years, from the elegant Genoese Rainier I to the current Prince Albert II, the Grimaldis—“an ambitious, hot-blooded, unscrupulous race, swift to revenge and furious in battle”—have ruled Monaco. Against all odds, they have proved themselves masterful survivors, still in possession of their lands and titles despite the upheavals of the French Revolution and the First and Second World Wars, when royal heads rolled and most small countries met their demise. With insufficient weaponry and military forces far too small to go into combat against their more powerful neighbors, France and Italy, the Grimaldis endured by their cunning and their shrewd choice of brides—rich women and high connections in the most influential courts of Europe, and often, strong sexual appetites. The French nobleman’s daughter who married Louis I later became the mistress of France Louis XIV. Her son, Antoine I was wed to an aristocratic wife who outdid her mother-in-law by having so many lovers her husband took to hanging them in effigy. The seafaring adventurer Prince Albert I was unfortunate enough to have two wives, one British, one American, who ran off with their lovers. His second wife, the American Alice Heine, a fabulously rich heiress from New Orleans and the widowed Duchesse de Richelieu, was the model for Proust’s Princess of Luxembourg. Heine used her own wealth to bring grandeur, culture, and sophistication to the palatial center of Monte Carlo; and with the introduction of gambling, an internationally celebrated resort was born, initially for the privileged few and later for raffish café society, The last section of the book is devoted to the most recent generations of the Grimaldis. Here, a new image of Rainier III emerges as both man and monarch, beginning with his blighted childhood as the son of divorced parents and of a mother scorned as illegitimate. And preceding the drama of his marriage to Grace Kelly, there is an account of his intense love affair with a French film start and reasons behind his sister’s lifelong malice and envy of him. The final note is necessarily tragic, detailing in full the deaths of both Princess Grace and Princess Caroline’s husband in sudden and shocking accidents

Commemorating the centennial of his death, a beautiful glimpse of the life and work of Albert I (1848-1922), prince of Monaco Albert I (1848-1922), prince of Monaco, was a learned prince, a navigator, and a humanist. His curious mind, driven by an ideal of peace and justice iconic of the Belle Époque, led him to travel the world from Monaco to the Azores, through Norway, Lisbon, and Paris. Based on archival letters, speeches, news articles, and photographs, Albert I of Monaco honors his life a hundred years after his death. His reign witnessed the rise of photography and he was an early adopter of the medium during the time the French banker and philanthropist Albert Kahn launched into an ambitious photographical project called Archives of the Planet. The prince also had a close relationship to nature and the origins of life and had a strong interest in protecting biodiversity. He founded the Institute of Oceanography and the Institute for Human Paleontology and pursued a long list of other notable endeavors. Beautifully illustrated, Albert I of Monaco memorializes his life and work and the history of his era.

Que savait-on de lui, avant qu'il ne devienne prince souverain à la mort de Rainier III, en 2005 ? Qu'il avait fait ses études primaires au lycée Albert-Ier de Monaco, fréquenté les meilleures universités américaines, et restait dans l'ombre de son père, patron incontesté du Rocher. Allait-il pouvoir assurer cette lourde succession ? En un an, " le doux Albie " s'est chargé de répondre à cette question, en changeant radicalement de cap avec une ferme et calme autorité. Une meilleure prise en charge de l'environnement, davantage de transparence économique, un vrai souci de l'humanitaire et, sur le plan privé, des surprises décoiffantes ! " Ecolo " et sportif, il est le premier chef d'Etat au monde à atteindre le pôle Nord, au printemps 2006, histoire d'alerter l'opinion sur le réchauffement de la planète. Discret en amour au point qu'on a cru qu'il n'aimait pas les femmes, le voilà qui reconnaît coup sur coup deux enfants et annonce qu'il va se marier ! La ravissante championne de natation qu'on voit de plus en plus en sa compagnie fait rêver les amateurs de contes de fées. La tradition monégasque est sauve : la beauté et la grâce y sont toujours les bienvenues.
