Biography
Grave of Ghislaine, Princess of Monaco
Ghislaine Marie Françoise Dommanget (13 October 1900 – 30 April 1991) was a French actress, and the Princess consort of Monaco from 1946 to 1949.
Early life
Dommanget was born in Reims, France, as the daughter of Colonel Robert Joseph Dommanget (1867–1957) and his wife, Marie Louise Meunier (1867–1957).
Personal life
In 1923, she was married to Paul Diey (1863–1931).[1] After his death in 1931, she had a relationship with actor André Brulé.[2]
She broke up with Brulé and married the reigning Prince of Monaco, Louis II, on 24 July 1946 — the first bride of a member of the House of Grimaldi without a dowry.[3]
Following Louis II's death on 9 May 1949,[4] and the accession of her step-grandson, Rainier III, she became Dowager Princess of Monaco, a title she held until her death.
House of Grimaldi

The Grimaldi Family, with few exceptions for enemy occupations, have been primary rulers of Monaco since the 13th Century. Their family ancestry can be easily traced to many of the great noble families of Europe. See Also:
