Ninety Years of Grace: the ultimate fairytale princess?

As Royal Central marks the 90th anniversary of the birth of Princess Grace of Monaco, we have a special podcast for you. Deputy Editor, Brittani Barger, explains why Grace is so important in the US while Assistant Editor, Moniek Bloks, looks at Grace’s place in Monaco’s history. And Desk Editor, Lydia Starbuck, asks why one princess could make such a difference.

There’s lots more about Grace on the site today, and throughout November.
