	Rainier III, Prince of Monaco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prince Rainier III (Rainier Louis Henri Maxence Bertrand Grimaldi; May 31, 1923–April 6, 2005), styled HSH The Sovereign Prince of Monaco, ruled the Principality of Monaco for almost fifty-six years, making him one of the longest ruling monarchs of the 20th Century.
		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, an adopted daughter of Napoleon Bonaparte, and of William Thomas Beckford, the scandalous 18th century English collector, tastemaker, writer, and eccentric.

		The Prince was never happier than when poring over plans for new buildings; and with a constant stream of foreigners eager to establish residence in order to escape taxes, and American capital flowing freely into Monaco as a result of his marriage, he had both the motive and the means for construction.
		Rainier presided over an economy in which even the social security system made a profit; in which unemployment was virtually unknown amongst the 5,000 native Monégasques; and in which 24,000 tax exiles found relief from income and inheritance taxes.
		Rainier went on to Stowe, from which he ran away; when he was returned to the school the authorities placed him in the sanatorium.

		As it was, the strain sometimes showed in Rainier, who was subject to splenetic outbursts of temper and also capable of yawning in public at the floral arrangements and other artistic preoccupations of his wife, Princess Grace.
		Becoming Hereditary Prince of Monaco in 1944, he served in the French army as a lieutenant, and a colonel, from 1944 to 1945.
		Although Monaco's policies tended to fluctuate with highrise blocks welcome one year, unwelcome the next; fruit machines and open-toed sandals now welcome, now not; with tax avoiders and money launderers sometimes allegedly barely scrutinised, sometimes weeded out, the state of Monaco seems no less secure now than it was when he took over in 1949.
