Any fan of Princess Grace will be delighted with the number
of photographs of her various visits to Ireland contained in the Irish PhotoArchive collections. After her marriage to Prince Rainier, she was a regular
and enthusiastic visitor to Ireland, and was always welcomed too.
However, while the Archive’s photos brilliantly capture the
way the princess carried off her style with aplomb, the photos are in black and
white. A fan of fashion will no doubt be curious about the colours and shades
of Princess Grace’s outfits.
Fortunately, Judith Gantley from the Princess Grace Irish Library has provided us with this exact information on the princess’s most
striking outfits from her visits to Ireland. Check them out and enjoy!
