From fame to working a 9-to-5: The struggles of being a D-listed celebrity

Grace Kelly

This story is just as remarkable as ones like Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. It’s almost like Grace Kelly set the example for the former royal couple – only with less drama, or at least that’s what we think.

In just six years, Grace Kelly made a massive impact in the acting world. She earned several Golden Globes, a New York Film Critics Circle Award, a BAFTA nomination, an Academy Award and starred in three classic Hitchcock films. The most impressive part? All of this happened before she was just 26 years old.

Then everything changed, all because of love. The famous actress fell in love with Rainier III, Prince of Monaco (Rainier Louis Henri Maxence Bertrand Grimaldi). She then quit acting and married her real-life prince. The couple had three children, and Grace began her duties as Princess of Monaco.
