Before Kelly could marry her future husband and become a princess she was forced to undergo an examination. In order for Ranier to marry the Hollywood actress he first had to ensure she could bear children for him.

If the couple would have married and child bearing was not a possibility, Monaco would have become a French protectorate under terms the countries signed in 1918. Once it was determined that Grace was able to give the kingdom children she was presented with a massive 12-carat diamond engagement ring.
