A Tribute to the Power of Princess Grace

This September 14, 2024, marks the 42nd anniversary of the untimely passing of Princess Grace of Monaco. Princess Grace has an enduring global presence that continues to inspire and fascinate. Under the high patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II, the Princess Grace Foundation and Grace de Monaco stand as a testament to her values and honor her legacy by continuing the work she was so passionate about – helping others.

Admired for her elegance and humanity, Princess Grace's legacy transcends her time as an actress and princess, reaching into the hearts of the artistic community through the Princess Grace Foundation-USA. Founded in her memory in 1982, the Foundation champions emerging talent in theater, dance, and film, providing artists with opportunities to pursue their dreams with career-advancing grants. This dedication to the arts mirrors her own love for creativity, philanthropy, and the commitment to fostering talent in others. Despite retiring from Hollywood, Princess Grace remained adjacent to the arts and supported her creative community with financial assistance and career advocacy. In 1976, she was the first female elected board member of the Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, bringing her influence, and adding some dimension to the all-male board.

 

The Princess Grace effect extends into the world of luxury and style through the Grace de Monaco brand. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Princess Grace Foundation-USA, 100% of the profits from the sale of our products fund the Foundation’s endowment programs. From the onset, it was imperative that each product, from fragrances and home accents to fashion accessories, embody the timeless and understated glamour that defined Princess Grace from Hollywood to Monaco. All products were designed with modern positioning while retaining classic elements. We are proud to collaborate with expert perfumers and developers, renowned designers, and skilled artisans who realize our vision and honor Princess Grace’s love of beauty, nature, and refinement.

Princess Grace revitalized the arts and culture scene in Monaco while supporting American artists, inspiring the Foundation’s mission. Today, her impact and contributions are upheld and carried on by her devoted children.

As a global personality, Princess Grace’s reach was limitless—her grace, beauty, and humanity captivated the world, and her legacy of kindness, elegance, and timeless style endures. Through the Foundation and the Grace de Monaco brand, her influence lives on, inspiring both the arts and the world of luxury, and reminding us of the power of grace.
