A rare royal appearance by their Serene Highnesses Prince Albert II and Princess Charlène of Monaco helped open an exhibition in honour of Academy Award-winning actress and Princess Grace Kelly last night at TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto.

The exhibition–Grace Kelly: From Movie Star to Princess–which opens tomorrow, November 4, and runs until January 22, 2012, features historic memorabilia from Kelly’s Hollywood career, and from her life as the Princess consort of Monaco once she married Rainier III, Prince of Monaco. Some of those items include a replica of her famous wedding dress by designer Helen Rose, her Oscar for the film The Country Girl, among other rare artifacts from Kelly’s almost magical life.
