	Rainier III, Prince of Monaco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rainier had one sibling, HSH Princess Antoinette, Baroness of Massy, an unpopular figure generally believed to be meddlesome enough regarding her children's place in the line of succession to have forced Princess Grace to demand that she leave the country.
		The prince was a direct descendant of Stéphanie de Beauharnais (Grand Duchess of Baden, Princess of France, and an adopted daughter of Napoleon Bonaparte) and of William Thomas Beckford, the scandalous 18th century English collector, tastemaker, writer, and eccentric.
		As Prince of Monaco, Rainier III also was responsible for the principality's new constitution in 1962 which significantly reduced the power of the sovereign.
