Grace Kelly’s Alleged Love Affairs Before Marrying Prince Rainier III Revealed

Life wasn't always a storybook romance for Hollywood starlet Grace Kelly.

Prior to her marriage to Prince Rainier III of Monaco, a new book claims the Oscar-winning actress had a tumultuous romantic history, captivating numerous men with her stunning looks.

According to the author, Kelly desired privacy and cherished alone time with her husband after stepping into royal life.

People were drawn to her, craving her attention, and she knew precisely how to captivate them.

During her teenage years at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City, Kelly was reportedly romantically involved with her 30-year-old teacher, Don Richardson.

Despite introducing Richardson to her parents, they disapproved due to his ongoing marriage situation.

While juggling relationships with individuals like Claudius Charles Phillippe and the Waldorf Astoria Hotel's banquet manager, Kelly allegedly engaged in a serious affair with millionaire playboy Aly Khan, who was married to Rita Hayworth at the time.

Richardson suspected Kelly's involvement with Khan when he noticed a distinctive piece of jewelry she wore, a gift from Khan symbolizing his generosity and romantic escapades with various women.

Despite Richardson also having other lovers, he was outraged upon discovering the truth and ended his relationship with Kelly abruptly, tossing the bracelet gifted by Khan into a fish tank during a moment of anger.

Intriguingly, Kelly's response to the situation was calm and composed, as she nonchalantly retrieved the bracelet from the water while still undressed, displaying a remarkable level of poise.

Renowned for her roles in Alfred Hitchcock's iconic films like “Dial M for Murder,” “To Catch a Thief,” and “Rear Window,” Kelly transitioned from Hollywood stardom to royalty when she wed Prince Rainier III in 1956 at the age of 26.

The couple, who married after a brief courtship, went on to have three children together: Princess Caroline, Prince Albert, and Princess Stephanie.

Despite facing tragic circumstances, including her untimely death in a car accident in 1982 at the age of 52, Kelly's legacy as both a film icon and a princess endures.
