Monaco's Prince Rainier dies at age 81
MONACO -- Prince Rainier III, whose fairy-tale marriage to Hollywood star Grace Kelly brought elegance and glamour to one of Europe's oldest dynasties, died Wednesday, nearly a month after he was hospitalized with a lung infection. He was 81. The funeral is expected to be held April 15, a palace official said. A Mass for the royal family was to be held in the palace's Palatine Chapel on Wednesday evening, the official added. Europe's longest-reigning monarch died at 6:35 a.m. from heart, kidney and lung problems at the hospital overlooking Monaco's glittering, yacht-filled harbor, the palace said. His only son, Prince Albert, was at his side, it said.
