Grave Monument of Ghislaine, Princess of Monaco.

Ghislaine Marie Françoise Dommanget (13 October 1900 30 April 1991), daughter of Colonel Robert Joseph Dommanget (1867-1957) and his wife, Marie Louise Meunier (1867-1957), was the Princess of Monaco from 1946 to 1949. She was a French comedy actress.

She married firstly Paul Diey (1863–1931) in 1923.[1]

She divorced her second husband, actor André Brulé, and married the reigning Prince of Monaco, Louis II on 24 July 1946 — the first bride to the member of the Grimaldi family without a dowry.

Following his death on 9 May 1949, and the accession of her step-grandson Rainier III, she became Dowager Princess of Monaco, a title she held until her death.
