Family Weekly May e, 196S m Her Serene Highness is returning to Hollywood amid wild rumors; now one of her closest friends tells what's really behind the comeback "that could never happen" became more and more the handsome prince. Much of what they worked for in those first years is now a reality: the railroad tunnel through the hills, the priceless addition of 22 acres of land built with fill from the tunnel, new public utilities and communications, and the motor races and regatta which cater to the tourism upon which Monaco depends. In January, 1957, when Princess Caro line Louise Marguerite was born, the joy of the citizens of Monaco was great. She was their assurance that the House of Grimaldi would continue to rule, that they would not be absorbed by France and be come subject to French income tax and military service. Then in March, 1958, there was more joyful news. A 101-gun salute proclaimed the birth of a new heir. Prince Albert Alexandre Louis Pierre. Yes, the image of Rainier and Grace as wise rulers and a happy, home-loving couple had been successfully created. I thought of all these things one night last summer when Their Serene High nesses were my guests at the fancy-dress dinner party I gave to celebrate the open ing of the indoor pool at the Hotel de Paris. Prince Rainier arrived looking un like any prince I'd ever seen. His heavy hair was covered by an artificial bald pate, arid he wore a fierce black mustache. Princess Grace came in a rubber mask " 1 ii1 r in L fi Grace in Hitchcock's To Catch a Thie." with big fat cheeks and thick braids under a floppy straw hat. She wore skin-diving flippers, and both dived and swam like joyful porpoises. Certainly no hostess could ask for two gayer or more appreciative guests than the couple from the palace. I'm convinced that only those who are happy within themselves and with each other ever offer such warm response. It was obvious then that they were confident in their roles and able to unbend for the first time since their marriage. ANOTHER example of their new zest for . life occurred one night in Palma when we improvised a band. Maria Callas shook the maracas. Prince Rainier beat the drums. I played the piano. Aristotle Onas sis sang French and Italian love songs. And Princess Grace led all of us with the greatest enthusiasm. The next day at the Plaza de Toros, Rainier entered the bull ring, and the Princess applauded with the rest of us. But her hands flew to her face when her husband actually approached the bull. "Oh my!" she whispered. "Oh, no! Oh, don't go near him! Oh!" The story of Prince Rainier and Prin cess Grace could well be the theme of a psychological novel. He was a lonely child. Princess Charlotte of Monaco and Pierre de Polignac, his parents, separated when he was a little boy. He was brought (Continued on page Family Weekly, May 6, 1962 S When childhood constipation occurs More mothers use Fletcher's Castoria than any other laxative Fletcher's Castoria gives the prompt, yet natural-like relief from temporary constipation that medical authorities agree is best for a child's young system.
