Prince Albert Says That Mom Grace Kelly “Insisted” on Eating “Virtually Unknown” Dish Over the Holidays

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are preparing for Thanksgiving at their home in California, but in Monaco, there's another royal family with American ties. When Philadelphia-born Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier III of Monaco, she introduced some of her favorite American traditions to the country's royal family—even if one Thanksgiving dish was rarely seen in Monaco at the time.

Prince Albert revealed in a previous interview (via People) that his mom always made sure they had a special Thanksgiving celebration when he was growing up. "We either had a Thanksgiving lunch here at the palace, or we would join the American Club over there on the Riviera or the Monaco/USA Association," he said. "They had Thanksgiving luncheons either at the Hotel de Paris or in another location, and so we would participate in that."
