The first major study for a decade, and based on hundreds of exclusive interviews with friends and relatives, Once Upon a Time reveals the very real - and less than perfect - men and women of the Kelly and Grimaldi families. Here are honest and full portrayals of Grace and Rainer, not only as prince and princess, but as a married couple and as parents struggling with the conflicts that can challenge any household. Perhaps for the first time, we see Grace in all her complexity: the daughter whose heartbreaking relationship with her father coloured her every decision, the down-to-earth young woman who accepted a proposal from a man she barely knew and leapt into an unknown culture and destiny.
