One of them was actor Donald Buka, with whom she enjoyed a deep friendship until her death in 1982. Over the years, they corresponded and shared intimate details of their lives. In 1958 letters when Grace was still relatively new to the workings of Monaco life, she gives details of Rainier's rocky relationship with his rebel sister, Princess Antoinette (known as Tiny), discusses friends' weddings and divorces, and remarks on a trip to Philadelphia to help care for her ill father: 'I miss Rainier and the babies very much ... you will fall madly in love with Caroline when you see her–and as for that Albie, we will have to beat the girls away!' Most poignant are the rare letters from Prince Rainier, one written shortly after Grace's death: 'I do hope that I was able to make her achieve her 'utmost happiness.' Time does not help much or even sooth [sic] the pain of such a terrible loss.' 11.5 x 15 x 2 in.
