The Grimaldi family has ruled over the tiny but beautiful and wealthy nation of Monaco since 1297. And for just as long they have been shockingly unlucky in love. Since the dynasty was supposedly cursed by a witch in the 14th century they have endured far more than their fair share of terrible mismatches, mistresses, an affair with King Louis XIV, abandonment, divorce, estrangement and tragic death. From Rainier I to Grace Kelly, Princess Caroline, Princess Stéphanie, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene, we explore the unfortunate love lives of the Monegasque royal family.
