Prince Albert Always Tried to Protect Her
Rainier never remarried, and when he died in 2005, he was buried next to his late wife. The royal couple had three children; two princesses and Prince Albert, who has told Fox News that he’s always “felt a sense of responsibility” to protect his late mother. The now 61-year-old prince explained that since they never traveled as a whole family together, he and his mother would travel together a lot – just the two of them.

“She called me her traveling companion,” he fondly recalled. “I felt a sense of responsibility, even though I was very young.” Albert explained that while she was clearly the one taking care of him, he still felt that he had to take care of her at times, too.
