Early life

Dommanget was 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.
