One of the most beautiful princesses in the world was Grace Kelly. The Golden Age of Hollywood film icon met Prince Rainer III in 1955. Her stately beauty and spellbinding screen presence also wooed the prince. The couple married at Saint Nicholas Cathedral in 1956. Memorably, the couple ceremoniously left the cathedral waving from the backseat of a new convertible Rolls Royce, a wedding gift from the people of Monaco. With natural elegance, she was perfectly suited to royalty.
Grace Kelly’s last film was ‘High Society’, a musical with Bing Crosby. Afterward, she became Princess Grace and left the screen for her royal duties. Sadly, she died tragically at age 52. Prince Rainer never remarried and was buried next to her in 2005.

Princess Keisha Omilana of Nigeria
African American Princess Keisha Omilana was a model and an actress before she met her prince. Now she’s a philanthropist who owns and operates a media company. Most exciting is the California-born princess’s romantic meetup story with her true love.
It all happened because she got lost on the way to a modeling gig. The young man noticed her from the window of a business meeting at the W. He left to go see the woman. After chatting for 45 minutes, he said, “You are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Would you do me the honor of having your number?”. Keisha said no and left, but then returned to find him waiting for her. So, the “guy” turns out to be Prince Kunle Omilana of Nigeria. A month later, they married and now live happily ever after. As a princess living outside of Nigeria, she says doesn’t have official duties other than “keeping my husband and son feeling healthy and loved.”
