After meeting the previous year at the Cannes Film Festival, Hollywood actress Grace Kelly tied the knot with Rainier III, Prince of Monaco. As dictated by the sovereign principality’s tradition, the royal wedding took place over two days: a civil ceremony at the prince’s Palace of Monaco was followed by a religious service at the Cathedral of St Nicholas the next day. The wedding was televised around the world and watched by an estimated 30 million people.
