The Princesses of Monaco
The Grimaldi family has ruled Monaco for more than 700 years. The tiny principality became world famous in 1956 when Prince Rainier married American movie star Grace Kelly.
Their only son, Prince Albert, is the heir to the throne. The next in line is Princess Caroline, followed by Princess Stephanie. The two princesses have everything - money, beauty and social standing. So why are their lives filled with scandals and why is it they can't abide one another?
One is married to a German prince, the other to a Portuguese acrobat, but both are glamorous, rich, royal - and scandalous. They are two women full of surprises.
Grace Kelly made it famous and with its annual Formula One races through the streets of Monte Carlo - its ornate casino - and a harbour full of yachts, but today it is Princess Caroline and Princess Stephanie who keep us riveted.
Their love affairs, marriages, divorces, and their pregnancies inside or outside of marriage have been splattered on innumerable front covers.
Both are scandal prone and known for their terrible taste in men, but in most other ways, they have little in common.
