Prince Albert II
Alberto,
el hijo de Grace Kelly,
recuerda los momentos cuando se enteran que su madre había tenido un accidente,
sobre el shock que significó para su hermana, Stéphanie, y el apoyo de amigos y familiares. Para saber: Roc Agel y en vocabulario: eulogy.
“I just love
Grace Kelly. Not because she was a princess, not because she was an actress,
not because she was my friend, but because she was just about the nicest lady I
ever met…”
On September 13,
1982, Grace Kelly was driving back to
Monaco from her country home in Roc Agel when she had a stroke. As a
result, she lost control of her 1971
Rover P6 3500 and drove off the steep, winding road and down the 37 meters
mountainside. Her daughter Stéphanie,
who was in the passenger seat, tried but failed to regain control of the car. Kelly was taken to the Monaco Hospital (later named the Princess Grace Hospital Centre) with
injuries to the brain and thorax and a fractured femur. Doctors believed that
she had suffered a minor stroke while driving. She died the following night at
10:55 p.m. after Rainier decided to
take her off life support.
Stéphanie suffered a slight concussion and a hairline fracture of a cervical
vertebra, and was unable to attend her mother's funeral.
