- The last miles of Grace Kellys life revisited in 2016. These are the winding roads she drove on Monday morning 13 September 1982 from her home Roc Agel to Monaco before falling down a cliff at Devil's Curse. Was it an accident, or is there more to her tragic death?

She grew up in my own Philadelphia. Such class and grace
We had Shirley Jones in Pittsburgh Pa
A Mayo woman on her father's side. Words can't describe the awful end she got.
Grace..the most fitting name for her. She embodied grace, elegance, utter feminine beauty and the serenity to be the princess she was. A stunning human gone too soon. Just tragic. 😢
I pass by her childhood home occasionally and feel so proud she grew up here in my hometown. Beautiful home. I wonder if they use it for anything today.
Her son Albert bought it a few years ago. Probably to pay some kind of homage in the future.
I heard it is to be turned into a museum.
So sad to learn about the passing away of somebody who deserved to live long
RIP Grace kelly
😐
Yes and she was so beautiful and graceful RIP GRACE
My knees are weak just watching this video. Very, very frightening.
I loved Grace Kelly. When I heard she had passed away,it broke my heart. A very,very, classy lady, & Princess .

I lived down the road from the house she grew up in Philadelphia. The family was very prominent and her brother was a city councilman. Every so often we would see the kids there for the summer. Stephanie was always wearing a mini skirt and smoking cigarettes. The girl did not give a damn unlike Caroline and Albert who was always on their best behavior. Lovely classy lady. RIP Philly Princess, you were and still sorely loved and missed.
My husband's grandfather knew her, we live outside of Philadelphia
@@shonacole2124 Irish people still remember her. The heart could break.
Good grief, I could never drive that route....
I just came from there on vacation. I took the bus between towns. Narrow crazy roads... but very beautiful.
It is scary
🐱
She had a stroke. Was not feeling well either that morning. High blood pressure. Why did she refuse her driver's offer to drive her? Don't get it.
So sad. A beautiful Princess ❤️
💗
Che destino crudele!
A real tragedy, but what's also very freaky is that Grace who was known to not be a very good driver, drove this very same route in her classic movie, "To Catch A Thief"...with her friend the late great Cary Grant. In a scene from that movie, she's doing the driving with Cary in a little sports car and she's driving real fast and he says to her "Where do you think you're going?" and she answers ' To the cemetery"!!!...most people don't know this or remember that eerie scene. FACTS!!
@Eye. stupid Benny Spy I know she did!! I was referring to an eerie scene from that movie she made in the 1950s where she was driving on the exact same route in her 20s.....reread my comment!
Was it just an accident? There are many Royals young aged suddently dead by traffic accidents...
Thank you very much I have nt known this Scene .It s creepy....Best Regards, Christine
maybe she was also reenacting nobbing Grant off and thus crashed
What a tragic day for the Grimaldi family. A tragic day for everyone who loved Grace Kelly / Princess Grace.
Besides that it's a beautiful piece of road, very scenic.
CAN U SHOW D EXACT LOCATION OF HER ACCIDENT.TNX
It's a tragic day for everyone that looses a love one,
@Susan Elizabeth Only an American has to be so thick as to ask this crass, ignorant question. God have mercy on Grace, may she rest in peace.
SO SAD SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL LADY
🐱
I remember Grace Kelly's car crash was reported on the radio & reported on the TV. It was a shock to know Grace Kelly was killed & her daughter injured from the crash. Heart breaking to learn post mort report that Grace Kelly had stroke & brain bleed. RIP.
Oh that's what actually happened? I remember rumors that her daughter was actually the driver
@@shonacole2124 It was said Stefanie had to crawl over her mom to exit the car because she couldn't get out through her own door so many thought she was driving. The person behind them was blowing his horn because he said it looked like the driver was sleep slumped over.
first time I ever got car sick without driving a car.
Thanks, makes my proud.
what's the sound track you used in this please ?
@@paulthompson9278 It is Ouverture by Cameo Culpa.
I lived in Cape Town for 23 years. There are huge variances in types of land, mountains, beaches.
There's a long winding drive you can take over the mountains, right next to the sea. It's a LONG way down. Big boulders, are often falling onto cars & killing people.
I could never drive 🚗 those switchbacks, very scary.
I would not want to drive this route at all.
I was fortunate to visit Monaco on a school trip to France and I remember feeling nauseated with all those narrow, winding bends in the road.
This is not the worst
The road isn’t as bad as the road to Virginia City

En 1972 nous avons pris cette route, en 1973 nous avons roulé sur des routes de montagnes en France routes dont la moitié était effondrée dans le ravin, en 1974 nous avons fait le col de la Furka en Suisse et lors de notre retour ce col était tellement enneigé qu'il y avait de chaque côté un mur de neige et 15 jours après cette route était impraticable, en 1980 nous somme allé en Italie et pour aller souper dans un restaurant nous avons pris une route de montagne très étroite et en zigzags. La route de l'accident de Grace Kelly n'était pas particulièrement dangereuse même si il ne fallait pas rouler vite. Je reste convaincue que soit la princesse a eu un AVC ou un moment de distraction (cela arrive)
C'est prouvé. Elle a eu un AVC. Elle ne se sentait pas bien ce matin-là. Le chauffeur a offert de la conduire. Mais obstinée, elle a refusé. Pourquoi ces princesses refusent-elles de se faire conduire?
This mountain is soooooo stiff so dangerous when we drove to Monaco . Skinny road so scary.
Grace had a stroke. Was not feeling well either that morning. High blood pressure. Why did she refuse her driver's offer to drive her? Don't get it.
a very difficult road to take even for a professional rally. RIP princess Grace
I live here and now as I watched this video I'm more afraid.

The music in this video is really sad and tragic.
Do you know the name of this music please ?
This movie is os of 1955. During the working of this monie Prince Ranieri invited Grace to visit his castle in Monaco.So we can say that on this road begann and 27 uears later finished Princess Grace's fable
They say it’s scenic, but during this drive I witnessed at times a sense of claustrophobia with the narrow road, then such open curves, on edges of a cliff, that you have to wonder if the designer of this roadway was designing it for humans to drive it, to be able to navigate it safely at all times, or if they only thought of the money they would make supplying it. If I had to drive it every day, I would fight a headache every day. Such a sad roadway I never want to see again. Grace Kelly is sorely missed. May she Rest In Peace. 💐💐💐
I agree with you. Some of these roads in Europe are beyond scary and treacherously windy and steep.
Actually I can’t watch the rest of the video; I feel dizzy and nauseous.
Speed kills
Must have been a path for donkey carts in the past.
how would you get from the top to the bottom of a hill then?
Descanse en paz maravillosa e irrepetible Princesa Grace 😘😘😘
That was a very poignant insight into Ms Kelly's final journey on that fateful day. I came across a photo of her in a Victoria and Albert Museum photo diary recently. Bitter sweet reminder of a lovely lady.
Heck, it just occurred to me that those curves are TOUGH even if one isn't in danger of having a cerebral hemorrhage!
The newspapers were saying it was due to a heavy argument they were having. First things that came out of the news. I remember. Every one was blaming the daoughter, stating she was stubborn and bad tempered.
yes the daughter is a problem for the house of monaco, she is not dignifying her family at all, the black sheep in the family
None of them is dignifying their own family 😈
She had a stroke. Was not feeling well either that morning. High blood pressure. Why did she refuse her driver's offer to drive her? Don't get it.

The last time I said this I was called a idiot and laugh at for thinking this but .. I watched a movie about her life and she was a beautiful woman with a beautiful heart!!
She was so beautiful x
My family owned a P6 3500V8. Very solid car. Heavy, but can really move when you plant it . No power steering though. Very big steering wheel. British car.
Brakes were less than good. Good luck trying to stop it with the handbrake. Brakes wont work if the engine is off.
I never forget this accident and this day. She's to younger.
Her child were so older than me.
This destiny stayes so cruel.
If you live in Monaco and you have the time, could you show us a video of the curve of the accident with all the details? It's very difficult for me to travel to Monaco because I'm too young to travel on my own. I really admire Grace and it would be interesting to know that details.
Thank you!

Sorry, I live in the Netherlands, was in Monaco on a holiday. But here you can find a picture of the crash site: www.frankjacobs.nl/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/FJAC8109.jpg
Frank Jacobs incorrect, wrong corner. Chemin de Bautugan is correct corner.
Frank Jacobs k
I will be driving 15miles per hour..im panicking watching this drive already..🤔
Very, tricky dangerous road.Even with experience you cannot afford a loss in concentration let alone consciousness.
My daughter drove to this skinny SCARY road on top of the mountain. My heart is beating soooo fast . Thank GOD !!!!!!!!!!!

Грейс Келли, ВЫ умница, красавица!! ЦАРСТВИЕ НЕБЕСНОЕ ВАМ и ВЕЧНАЯ ПАМЯТЬ!!
Such a tragic death for a beautiful and well loved Princess. She should have let her chauffer drove the car for them. It was a steep and tricky road. Based on ny research she suffered a stroke that's why she lost control of the car. There was even a rumor that according to her daughter who was with her during the accident that her mother was shouting she had no brakes and might have stepped on the accelarator instead of the brake. It was such a big news then. My mother was a great fan of her . In fact I was named "Gracia" after her.
Such beauty is a rare flower !
One of her daughter's was with her, but survived the accident
Correct, that was Stéphanie.
I would not want to drive that everyday.
Thanks for posting. I've always found her final drive fascinating, and it's quite something to be able to visualize it so clearly now. And you chose beautiful music. One quibble: I've always read the Rover was brown, not green?
We tend to see Royalty and Hollywood as the treasured life. It's what we're told is the accepted, the expected, the best, the proven dna perfection. Nothing less is acceptable. Grace Kelly, along with Jackie O, were from very effluent families. They were American Royalty. I can't imagine the pressure that JFK jr. or Stephanie lived under. A child loves their parent no matter how bad their world is. Stephanie and Jr. were rebels. They wanted to be outside the grain of expected perfection. Kinda where we're at today. In a convertible, top down, going down the highway with tight curves and bends in thr road. Two things are with us. Someone we love, and the expensive clothes we use to say who we are. Who wins. A mother cant protect her child if she's not alive. We think about that no matter how old we get. And, trust me. We'd much rather go over the cliff, then our children.

The fact that even in the 1980s she could go somewhere with bodyguards and security vehicles is surprising.
Donde finaliza el vídeo, se deduce es el punto desplome del coche en que viajaba una leyenda de Hollywood, la más bella PRINCESA que el mundo haya visto jamás -.
It has been 35 years since Princess Grace's untimely death at 52. She would have been 88 this year, and still beautiful, I am certain. Ironically, her funeral was the first event Princess Diana went to on her own, representing Queen Elizabeth. Fifteen years later, she, too, died young in a car accident in France, after a very difficult marriage, as Grace often had with Rainier. Yet Rainier loved her, and Diana and Charles were finally friends at the time of her death. The parallels between these two beautiful women who married into royalty are interesting, and sad.
Absolutely true.
Please stop
Apparently, Princess Grace had been at Diana and Charles' engagement party at Goldsmith Hall. She noted a very jittery Diana, went up to her and gently asked, "need a moment, Dear?" They went to the powder room, where Diana poured her heart out to Grace. Grace, although a maternal-like presence, told Diana not to worry, "it will only get worse". I remember feeling a chill after reading that.

ericandsarahsmom1000 queens boy Charles was never a man. Never. Weak. Thanks to mommy and daddy. Yet it was his weakness being talked into marrying without love and ruining THREE LIVES. He should be shamed. Pray he will never sit on throne. It must be WILLIAM or the UK will rebel for sure
thank u so so much. i am very glad princess grace was not driving from seattle washington to miami florida and had a deadly crash just arriving in miami. that would have been her last drive. all 60 fucking hours.
Miss u❤😔
She was exquisite died so young

poverina. Era bellissima e doveva essere anche brava e buona. Era meglio se era rimasta a far l'attrice in America
No time to be arguing, when your driving on this road
Someone knows the title of the music that accompanies this video?
Yeah, it's "Too Loud"
I wouldn’t ever want to drive that road. Think of rain, fog, night, oncoming traffic, deer. You could do it a thousand times but it would never be safe. So sad.
Wow de noche esa vía debe ser imponente
What a terrifying way to die
I found the place of the accident on Google map, definitely such beautiful places but the road is so narrow, you make a mistake and you can be easily down a cliff..

CHE STRADA PERICOLOSA...... MAMMA MIA. LA PRINCIPESSA GRACE ERA TROPPO CORRAGGIOSA. UN MIRACOLO CHE DIO HA SALVATO STEFANIY... PECATO CHE GRACE HA PERSO LA VITA DI ETA ANCORA GIOVANE. RIPOSA IN PACE GRACE. UNA BELLISSIMA DONNA.🙏♥️♥️♥️🙏
Bella
You know the road she died on was actually the same road she drove in the movie to catch a thief
No, it's not the same road! "Contrary to popular belief, this was not the same road on which she drove in her 1955 movie, TO CATCH A THIEF"

Wow I didn't know; chilling
the fear of driving off of a cliff is powerful and keeps everyone on the road......what broke that .....seems a bit more to the story.

May she rest in peace.amen🙏
this is exactly how many roads are in Italy, and there's a LOT of coast. I once climbed the side of a mountain in a car driven by a guy I barely knew. I thought I'd lose my cookies.
This area of the world terrifies me too. I would rather hang out in the lowlands of northern France, Belgium and Holland(The Netherlands)
it's like parts of england only drier!
In America we were told it was a stroke that caused her to crash
I believe that
Deb there’s also a rumour that it’s her daughter who was driving...maybe she insisted her mother to made her drive.
@@KristinaMay2109 yes, there was confusion as to who was driving
@ Deb,she had sureley no stroke!
@@KristinaMay2109 Stephanie was not driving!
Can see why they call this stretch of road the "Devil's Curse"!! I wouldn't even want to drive it feeling great much less having a heart attack or stroke!! What to do if you meet another car? or if an animal ran out in front of you? Geez!!! I honestly wouldn't even want to ride my ten speed or mountain bike on such a road and cliff at that!! No thanks! Just so sad and very tragic what happened to her that fatal day, her last. Thanks for the vid Frank Jacobs! R.I.P. Princess Grace
I live there, people drive in this place everyday. but yeah, it's complicated.
Rip Grace gone 38 yrs now
WHY?????
So I guess at the end where you see that very sharp curve to the right at 14:23 is where she kept going straight and went over the cliff at that point? Have mercy!! Can only imagine the sheer terror that was going through both Stephanie and Grace's minds while it was all taking place! Really and truly sad. There's some really beautiful mountain scenes through out that stretch of road. Almost felt like I was driving this route myself. Again, thanks for sharing.

Yes, and I think that treacherous bit of roadway is called "The Devil's Curve" for bloody good reason, eh?
*_She had a stroke while driving and lost control of the car,_* it had nothing to do with the Road or Sharp curve to the right.
It wasn't the Road, *_She had a stroke while driving and lost control of the car._*
I am very upset that she was death.I love her very much.I miss her.She is a real angel.
So dangerous! I know she had a heart attack, but I couldn't drive that. Can you imagine what it look like back then!

Les derniers kilomètres de princesse Gracia, refait en 2016. Ce sont les rues elle conduisait lundi matin le 13 septembre 1982 de sa maison à Roc Agel pour aller à Monaco, juste avant son accident Route de la Turbie. Musique par Camea Culpa.
They were such a charismatic good looking couple
I was referring to Jack and jackie
looks like a very dangerous road that has no doubt claimed many lives
Era guapisima, bellezon. D. E. P Grace. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
No answer to my ask for the name of this beautiful music. I am sad.
The actual site where Princess Grace crashed off the road was about 1 mile further down from where you ended this video, although both locations look very similiar. Google Earth coordinates of the part of the road the Princess crashed from are: 43°43'35.16"N 7°24'10.15"E Her vehicle came to rest on a terraced farm house below the cliff at Google Earth coordinates: 43°43'34.48"N 7°24'11.61"E
Year ago she was filming "To Catch a Thief" in tha same spot
SAD
😢😢 mir fehlen die Worte
Viel zu früh von uns gegangen 😰
it's so sad, Grace Kelly's death was fatal misunderstanding of automatic transmission works , everyone believe she was good health and be now 90 years ages!
She had a stroke.
Alcohol kills
It was mentioned Grace was yelling out the brakes are not working.....😮💨
I cried at the end💔
So did I...... 😖

Wow that ride was scary. And the roads are so dangerous
When I visited Monte Carlo many years ago our tour group saw the crypt of Princess Grace.
Was there a question that her daughter was driving? What year was this I remember it happening but forget the year
There were rumours, yes. Mainly because Stephanie got out via the driver's side window. But she had no choice, since the passenger's side was blocked.
@@FrankJacobsTV yes I can understand that. Awful
@@FrankJacobsTVstill unclear who was driving as Grace is not here to confirm..also, usually the person in the passenger seat does and that would then be Grace..how would Stephanie have survived being in the passenger seat if it was so smashed up?
So sad, Grace Kelly wondeful Sweet lady
It infuriates me that there is no memorial plague for her. She deserves one.
I absolutely agree with you.
So many died on those roads
@@elisabethdakak878 She had a stroke. Was not feeling well either that morning. High blood pressure. Why did she refuse her driver's offer to drive her? Don't get it.
Eerie! Now, I would love to see the house itself, where our Grace Kelly and the Princely family spent their summers, actually ...
Why yes, I fart Rainbows!
i have an 86 yr old mother who has just got access to you tube and was saddened to see the accident on there of Princess Grace and the scene in the hospital bed.... she is in love with the piece of music played in hospital, can anyone help me out with this i have beenn searchig for days and cannot find out what it is?????
You mean the music in this video?
Tragedy she had a stroke at the wheel sad ☹️
Watt is this beautiful music?
In frant of her beauty i stay so small....
I was married the same day as grace we were both beautiful brides I also lived ln the same neiborhood we never met
I Care.
Shame You Never Met The Princess.
Nice memory to have. Grace was elegance personified, astonishingly beautiful, a great woman.
Are we there yet?
Believe me, for Grace Kelly the ride was far too short.
I was on that road a few years before their accident.
See the doctor for blood tests. Many silent killers.
Was living in Germany when she died. Remember where I was when news broke. Also remember the winding roads.
Why, Why ,Why, Such VIP ROYAL was behind the wheel on such DANGEROUS ROAD,... SHE SHOULD HAVE A SHAFFER at ALL TIMES.
She usually did, but since the car was full with Stephanie's things, the driver was left behind in their weekend resort.
Bonjour, une vidéo surprenante comme le sujet (accident fatal) on est captivé presque hypnotisé, on veut découvrir et voir ce qui arrive à chaque tournant. La musique avec en sonorité, ce glas, alourdit magnifiquement ce destin tragique de la princesse Grace. Merci pour nous avoir "embarqué" dans cette page de l'histoire contemporaine à bord de votre voiture.
Merci à toi, Mary, pour tes mots gentils.
Ay içim hüzünle doldu😔
Very dangerous bended road !!! Have to drive very slowly !!!!!
Painful to watch

Jolie grace Kelly
It’s odd how they couldn’t be bothered to clean the windshield.
Very Sad Ending Indeed 😥
WAIT A MINUTE! SUCH RICH COUNTRY AND IT HAS THIS STUPID LITTLE ROAD STILL? DAH!
Gejor Dominguez oh my my this is not even the worst!!! It's all narrow roads, bumps, dangerous overhangs and sharp curves! A nightmare
Gejor Dominguez Those roads are French ! Their summer villa is located outside Monaco
Gejor Dominguez guess you’ve never been on MTN roads. What. You want a four lane so you can go sixty mph
Morte horrível, de uma tão linda princesa.
