Grace Kelly’s Incredible Life from Old Hollywood Star to Princess

Grace’s parents disapproved of Oleg Cassini, particularly because he had been divorced and because they did not consider his background suitable for their daughter. Jack and Margaret Kelly had strong opinions about Grace’s future, and their resistance placed enormous pressure on the relationship.

Grace later suggested that her mother’s objections played a major role in keeping her from marrying Cassini. The relationship continued for a time, but the idea of marriage became increasingly difficult to sustain. Soon, a completely different suitor would enter Grace’s life, and this time the consequences would reach far beyond Hollywood.
