At the time of her death, Grace Kelly was 52 years old and had been married to Prince Rainier III (†81) for 26 years. With the wedding, the actress became a princess and was in the spotlight more than ever before.

The portrait photo is one of the last photos taken of the Princess. It is dated June 16, 1982. On September 14 she was announced dead.
