   • He Wasn’t Really That Royal. Rainier Louis Henri Maxence Bertrand Grimaldi (we’re just going to call him Rainier III, or “Rainy” if you’d rather) was born in May of 1923.
   • His Father Had A Dark Secret. Rainier III’s mother wasn’t the only one with a sordid past and something to hide. Prince Pierre, Rainier III’s father, was a French aristocrat before he became the Monegasque prince by way of marriage.
   • His Father Didn’t Love His Mother. Rainier III was born into a family—and a palace—built on secrets. And one the biggest secrets was that Prince Pierre didn’t love his wife—because he was a closeted homosexual.
   • His Parents Fought A Lot. It’s always the kids who get caught in the middle of their parents’ feuds. Prince or not, Rainier III was no exception to that rule.
