The Grimaldis

Nobility obliged

The Princely Family of Monaco, with its glamorous appearances, misfortunes and scandals, has been in the media spotlight for decades.
Luxury, jet-setting and gambling - the House of Grimaldi surrounds itself with glitz and glamor like no other aristocratic dynasty in Europe.

The documentary shows rare film footage of the Princely Family, including for the first time an amateur film of the preparations for the wedding of Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly.
Representatives of the European aristocracy, such as Prince Eduard of Anhalt and Prince Heinrich of Hanover - Princess Caroline's brother-in-law - have their say.
Hollywood director Robert Dornhelm reports on Grace Kelly's last film project for the first time on German television.
Interviews with biographers and old friends of the House of Grimaldi also provide unusual insights into the history of this dazzling royal family.

First broadcast: Monday, June 14, 2010, 9:00 p.m., ARD.
