That day, Rainier III’s wife’s Rover 3500S V8 went off the road while she was behind the wheel herself.

“Doing many zigzags, hitting rocks, before picking up speed and plunging into the void and crashing after barrel rolls below.”

However, the sister of Albert II of Monaco had managed to get out alone through the driver’s side door. She walked away with broken ribs, a broken collarbone and three neck fractures.
On the other hand, the mother of Albert II, who was thrown into the back seat, had to wait for help. Unfortunately, the famous actress, who remained in a coma, died the day after the accident at the “Princess-Grace” hospital center.

A DIFFICULT ROAD TO CURE
If Stéphanie of Monaco managed to grieve, it is also thanks to her lover at the time, Paul Belmondo. The young man was omnipresent by his side to help him make up for this long period. A test which was particularly difficult for Rainier III and who felt the solidarity of his children.
“Each of us tried to rebuild, and all three of us stuck together for our dad, whose suffering was indescribable. It was he whose pain was the greatest, he who felt the most…empty, the most abandoned. Being all united around him, that’s what seemed most important to us.

All three supported each other however they could, despite Stephanie’s struggles. Indeed, the young princess was injured and remained “disabled for a few months”. Moreover, she had not been able to attend at the funeral of their mother, since she was confined to her hospital bed.
Years later, the trauma is still felt in the little sister of Caroline of Monaco. Like a curse, the nightmare almost repeated itself in August 2017. The Isuzu all-terrain vehicle, which she uses during her stays in Mauritius, showed a warning light in its automatic transmission. Furthermore, ignoring it can lead to loss of control of the car.

Repenting to the terrible accident which cost her mother’s life, the survivor of the road urgently sent her 4×4 for repair. Leaving the garage, it turns out that the problem was not fixed and the light came on again after a few kilometers.
Fortunately, this time there were no accidents. The princess simply had to claim half a million Mauritian rupees from the dealer, who breached his contractual obligations. An omission that could have separated her from her children.
